Completely New to Heavy Equipment and Diesel, Bought a Case 580c 1980

Digginit580c · Dec 8, 2013

Hello. Can't wait to get my new machine. It's being hauled up from Iowa this Wednesday. It's a 79 or 80 580c with a 3 point on the back. I guess it needs brake work, but the rest is supposed to be in decent shape.
I sure hope it is!

Welcome to TBN!

Make sure you add a heavy industrial box blade (Gannon, Cammond, or the like) to make the most of that workhorse.

Thanks! Ya I plan to get a good box blade for it. I'll have to get all the fluids changed and do a few jobs with this machine to save up for a bit. Seems like I need a category 2 box blade. I think?

Wow! That's got Top 'n Tilt! :thumbsup: I recommend a category ll quick hitch, and I wouldn't stop with a box blade either. Also consider a straight blade, a planer/scraper, and a ripper, depending on your end use of course.
