Hi guys...
Any Ideas what this 1970's Case 580c might weigh??

Thanks

John

12,500 or maybe 14,000 ???

I just looked through the 580K operators manual and service manual and neither has listed a weight for the machine!
But it does say that the 82" fel bucket is 760 pounds and the 24" bh bucket is 270 pounds. Other buckets are different.
I'd go outside and check the nameplate but it's pouring right now. I'll check it later and make another post here.

=================
I'm back. My nameplate says that my 580K machine has a max weight of 7938kg. That's 17,500 pounds! Now what does max weight mean and does it include the buckets weight?

You aren't the first to ask this question. Here's another thread on the same subject.

Case 580 Serial #s and year

No weights but info on how to tell its age.

Ballpark for a 580C is 15,000 lbs. If you need to be more specific it is much more accurate to simply weigh the machine....depends on extra features, combination of buckets etc.

OK thanks Steve...

I thought it might be in that range. Next time I have one around an elevator I will check for sure.

Someone thinks your Case 580c is a 1977 model

The individual selling this one says it weighs about 13000#. I would have guessed about 2000# more.

I used to use my neighbors 580C for grading my drive. we had a place to buy gravel just down the road and I always showed 12,500# empty on the scale. I used to run down and grab a bucket of gravel at a time for filling pot holes.

That is dead on what the JD 310 of that era weights I know and when looking they seemed about equal just from looking at the two brands.

I am going with 12.5K. I had an 88 580K 4X4 Extendahoe with full glass that scaled at 14K.

I agree. My brother has a 580 an its about 12,000# and my neighbor has a much new 580 with cab and glass and he says its 14,000#.

Only way to know for sure is to weigh it.
