    1967 Case CK 580. Worth owning?

    They were removeable using a 4 point mounting system. There was a 3 point "MOD kit" that mounted on the same points so you could use grader boxes, etc. with your Construction King machines

    1967 Case CK 580. Worth owning?

    I would pass simply on the 2 wheel drive aspect. Seals are relatively easy to source, a hydraulic pump may not be. 1. Call the local Case dealer and ask about parts 2. No drawbar, to drop the hoe and use for that, may not be worth the effort 3. 5K is probably in current reasonable range

    I had pear trees that grew fruit. Every day I'd go out and say maybe tomorrow. The picked ripe day never came, apparently the white tail deer love pears. Took my slow self a couple years and a game cam to figure out

    What do you have for a first aid/trauma kit?

    Ummm, that was in response to a Stop the Bleed course. Basic first aid usually doesn't cover trauma like tourniquets would require, nor does it touch on triage for mass casualty incidents. Different training for different levels, needs. Different geographic areas have different hazards too, ie...

    Your opinion of 4310 with 430 loader

    OOps, should have added; it won't run a 7' finish mower in 12"+ grass/brush. It won't run a 6' brush cutter in thick cover below 2000 rpm. It won't till really well below 2000 rpm. It won't fill up a 6' boxblade very well without using 4 wheel drive ;)

    We had a 4310 w/430 loader had a little over 1700 hours when it left our place. It's still going at its new home. A 2 bottom plow did not do well in our clay soils. The other stuff, didn't have any issues. I'd get another one.

    Good, except for cost of living and cold, Canada is a very nice place. Problem I see when traveling is why do people drive without regard for others?

    Anyone think this is accurate?

    Isnt that similar (not same numbers by far) for using wheel weights/loaded tires? The cast counterweight is aways there to prevent tipping. A "farm tractor" doesn't really have an ideal location to mount a cast weight from to counter the loader and not interfere with the pto.
