- I demonstrate how to get a Case 580K into travel mode. (Transport Lock/Boom Lock) Simply pulling the boom up will not lock it in. There is a trick to it!

Haha ur a life savor. I’m in the Air Force and we were shipping an excavator and couldn’t lock it back into place. Thanks !!
I found this method a few days ago on a heavy equipment forum. I just acquired a 580 Super E for some projects around the property. Here's what I discovered: First, this works and is the correct way to get the machine in travel mode. The yoke on my 580 SE is a little different than this, but the same method applies. Here's what happens: You bring the boom back toward the machine to within about 3 inches from the locking pin. Then pull back on the control, then slam the control forward and the yoke slips right over the pin. Done. What no one is saying is that when you do that, the controls actually go into reverse operation. Suddenly out is in and in is out. When you want to release the boom for digging you have to push the control forward, lift the yoke then pull the control back to lower the boom. It's all backward! Once you release the control lever the machine goes back into normal mode where pushing the lever lowers the boom and pulling the lever raises the boom. You think I'm crazy? Try it and prove me wrong. Happy digging!
Heck yeah. I had assumed exactly that... that the hydraulics weren't functioning 100% to return the boom to lock position. Then assumed you had to "whip" it into position. Then found this video with this awesome trick. Took me about 6 tries before I nailed it. Made my day! - Case 580 Super M
Glad it helped!!!! Thanks for letting me know. How to see ya around the channel!
Thank you so much, tried for 1 damn hour trying to get this in travel mode. Love youtube because of guys like you
Glad I could help! Happy Digging!
Thanks for the video. Getting ready to run super K’s and N’s putting in field tile for my new job and they are tricky... I played around with one yesterday. Don’t worry my heads crooked too. Lol
Thanks for making this video! I could not believe how easy this was. Got it on the first try. Case 580L at work. Slightly different design but same concept. I’ve been doing it the other way and been successful for years but found your video today after a lot of failed attempts
@@IndyFarmLife the theory of operation is so simple!
Thanks for the video! we have a 580D and my go to method has been driving so i was parked at a decent incline to assist the boom coming towards the cab. the other day I was doing just that and noticed once it was in as far as i could get it releasing the pressure allowed it to come back the rest of the way and lock in. thanks for the tip!
I'm glad it was helpful! Seems like something is wrong until you know how it all works! ha
😂 thanks buddy 😅 I was struggling a bit lol
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much for this video! I couldn’t get it back into the lock position. It’s so easy after I was able to get it the first time.
Glad I could help! Yea, after you do it once, it's easy!
Thanks helped alot never ridden one never used one but helped got a case 580 super le helped
We have a 580 SL series II and this is the part most people struggle with. It is very counterintuitive but it works. Once you get the timing down, it's pretty easy.
Yea, it becomes muscle memory after a while
Great video! On my 580 B I extend the boom out when putting in to travel mode. The extra momentum from the added weight ( fulcrum ) snaps it right in place.
Thank you! Yes, I have noticed that. I once left the dipper out (by accident) and went to move it into transport mode and it came back like a rocket! ha
Been running case Backhoes for years, and you can always tell people that don’t know how to lock the boom into travel mode! It is a nice feature because it puts weight on the front end and makes it more stable driving down the road unlike other machines that get a little wobbly at any kind of speed!😎
I bought a 1993 580k last year. It looks like yours except it has the extendahoe. Mine isn’t pretty and the lights are all broken but it digs!!!
If you extend the arm all the way out straight up into the air it moves the center of gravity further back on the arm and is even easier to get it back into the locking dowl or triangle thing.
This is how I engage mine on my 580N. Was taught that trick from the previous owner.
Thanks!
It's a whole lot easier to do if you extend the dipper and bucket up high. It changes the center of gravity and lets it to coast towards the cab at the end of the boom's upswing much easier. Try it and let me know.
I have a Case 580K and mine is a 2 stick, (4 if you count the 2 for the stabilizers.) also mine doesn’t have any foot pedals, it’s just got foot rests.
One problem that I have that you may be able to help me with is, swinging from left to right, right to left. If my boom is all the way to the left, I can swing all the way to the right with no problem. Once I go to swing left, it will swing back to center, stops, like it is hanging up on something, then with a couple tries with the stick it will then swing left with no problem.
Once you get past the catch spot, it works well.
There’s supposed to have a hole in the center for a pin to keep it from moving side to side when in travel mode.
That pin looks to be broken off in the hole.
I first thought that it may be the pins and bushings, there’s some play, but the play is very little.
Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated.
Keep up the good work and keep making videos, because I’m following your steps by fixing one problem at a time.
Anybody else flinch, expecting the boom to smash into you? Lol.
Haha that would have been an expense stunt on my end!!
@@IndyFarmLife It flinches me every time I stow it.
Yes it does say in the manual that's how to do it.
I think the guy I bought from was running a chain on top instead. Good to know
I bought a 1966 ck case 530 180 Diesel Backhoe and the best thing ever that I did for the Backhoe was I got a 6- month service plan threw case the come out to the farm every 6- months and service the Backhoe change all of the fluids and filters and Greece all of the fittings and anything else that needs service. so my job on the Backhoe is keeping it fueled up and check the fluids and operate.the Backhoe. I rather pay someone else because that way I can be doing another job some place else.
Hey man just to add, if you hold your bucket lever in at the same time or just before you push out the boom lever it will do it a lot smoother, with a bit of practice, it loads the system just enough to make it not slam back too fast.
Indy Farm Life , took me a bit to figure that out but when you get it you will always do it without thinking. I learned to operate backhoe on a 2 stick ford 555, my dad used in his business, when I learned to use a 4 stick I was working for a paving company. I actually got better at running the case than my dad. Can’t beat him on a 2 stick though.
Indy Farm Life, 3stick is all good, funny when I was just learning to run it I had to remember the leavers, so I said to myself B.A.B.E. Bucket,arm,boom,extendahoe. Never forgot
Slamming back scary for me
Just bought one think you for your information
my Backhoe is got boom hold down chains on the right and the left to keep the boom from leaking down
i always thought it was the hydraulic system until now
I'm always busting the hoses that are on the side when I lock my boom. It's a poor design with the K series backhoes. It's a very tight area for those hoses.
Yes!! I learned that the hard way. When I took the boom cylinder off to repack it, I didn't get the hoses/clamps back exactly where they needed to go. Went to use my freshly pack cylinder, put it in transport mode and boom...hose busted! Not the happiest that day.
Picked up the K about a month ago. Seems like it's a tough machine. electronics are trashed, but I got the lights to work at least. A lot of the glass is broke out. I heard it was really expensive.
They are good backhoes! The electronics on mine are pretty much non-existent. ha I don't even have lights.
@@IndyFarmLife is there a sight glass for hydrolic fluid for the front tank somewhere? How do you know what the level is?
@@MainMatKbroken tractor is where I get everything for mine
Oh man thanks I got a 580d and its a bitch to figure it out gonna try your tutorial in a minute and see if it works vary help
Ful
Hopefully it worked?
My 580 Super L explains this in the operators manual
Well, I guess everyone curious has to buy a machine to read the manual.
@@benargee my point is that it's not ONLY the 580 K that locks this way.
Thanks I stalled my case 580 m and now it will not start help
580D the same way
I'm pretty good with a loader but I'm new with a hoe. The manual is around 40 bucks online. After buyin the hoe, I'm a little strapped for extra cash. Can somebody tell me what to set the rpm's at when you're ready to dig? Mine seems to dig at
a regular fast idle. Not sure how fast I should set it.
I wish I knew, but I don't. My tach is broken ha
Its to my experience running case backhoes that there all the same way to lock the boom in road mode
Good to know! I was curious. Thanks for sharing.
@@IndyFarmLife over the years if ran a 580b,e,k,l,sl,and now im in a super m series 2 and they are mostly the same in controls
Nice! Sounds like you have a lot of experience. Surely though the Super M is joystick controls and not the 3/4 stick?
@@IndyFarmLife ive got about 10 years in runnig and fixing heavytrucks and equipment and mine is 2 stick old style not pilot like the new ones
IF YOU HAVE TROUBLE PUT OUT RIGERS DOWN FURTHER IT WILL FALLI IN LOCK AFTER A LITTLE PRACTICE I LIKE WHEN IT LOKS AND YOU HAVE NO LOUD NOISE WONCE YOU CATCH ON ITS EASY PRACTICE HELPS
DUDE...U TALK TOO MUCH..BUT IS A GOOD VIDEO..THANKS
THANKS FOR WATCHING AND YELLING. HA. YOU CAN ALWAYS CLICK OFF 😎
That's really stupid engineering. Came here from Mustie1
Yea, a little confusing at first, but it works.
If you didn’t t know that, you shouldn’t be using a backhoe 🙄
