Getting acquainted with the twin stick backhoe on a cedar stump. First time using heavy equipment, this is a million times better than digging by hand!
Backhoes are really handy, I have a 580 E just like yours and was surprised what you can get done with one of these. I laugh when I think about learning the operation, an old timer once said that it took him an hour of swinging before he hit the ground!
If you're curious, if I'm remembering correctly the machine PIN (product Iden. Number) should be stamped on a aluminum tag somewhere on body to the left of the steering wheel, should be like 7 numbers long. You can look up that number online and it will tell you a range of s/n built every year. Mine is a 1979.
[thank, you for you're great video.👍 just, got my 1966, case ck. 530 diesel Backhoe out of the shop. new, replacement diesel injection pump. $3 thousand]👍
I just bought a 1985 JD backhoe and I was thinking I needed to cut the plate off of the bucket but you’re right It’s more powerful than one might think and I’ve been able to dig 30 of the 72 stumps up already
Remember...even on private property...call for underground utility locates before you dig. There might be pipeline utilities across private land etc etc etc. If you know your land OK. But if you ever hit anything it could cost you thousands. Maybe even injure or kill. It's the law in every state.
Hi Wayne. Okay? When I pull out tree stumps, especially in the case of eucalyptus, what I usually do is open a hole in his mud and after pulling it out, I bury it. Hug
$8500, it shows ~4,600 hours but the hour meter was not functional when I bought it. I suspect somewhere around 7,000-9,000 but I could be wrong. Maintenance goes a long way, it could very well have under 5,000 but it doesn't represent it well.
Was wondering what price range for something like that goes for. I was looking at a 580c and they want 9500. I don't want to give way more then it's worth because when I'm done I'll probably sell it again and would like to get most of my money back out of it.
It's heavily governed by the condition. This one had a lot more issues than I realized, though they were small. I picked this one up for $8500. I have seen them go for $11,000-$15,000 in very good condition.
After giving pine stumps a try, you’re right! I got lucky with the cedar in the video, the roots were like glass and the soil was soft. Pine trees are totally different and without teeth can be a real pain!
Didn't anyone give you any training? Where's the CAT hat, the half, chewed soggy cigar, the green shirt with your name embroidered on the chest? Where's the plumber's crack? What are they teaching kids these days? This kid looks like a history major at Harvard. What is the world coming to?

We have a 580B and I am waiting on a dipper arm to come in - then it's back to digging. Great video - thank you for posting!

Teeth are good for digging dirt out of the stump and grabbing the stump on top to loosen from the ground.

Ur first time digging with it ur doing really good man
Nice job for your first time. I just bought a 1982 580 Super D and will be learning soon. I used to run a 4-stick hoe, but that was over 20 years ago.
Your backhoe still looking nice mate.. 😊👍
Watch those power lines.... !!!
Thanks for sharing!
It sounds good.

Nice
That machine sounds like a "D" model. I bet it is and somebody painted it with the "E" decals. Does not sound like a 4B Cummins under the hood.
Once u get good with those old case controls ,u will be able to operate anything
Probably an 84 ish...backhoe. it's old but it looks and sounds really good
Is this Cleveland from family guy narrating??
cool backhoe! new subscriber here!
Glad you like it, thank you for the support!
Steady...bos
comment avoir des info sur ce model de retrograveuse
Did you buy this just for your yard?
Pretty much, yes. There is intent of side jobs during the summers (I am a full time student), but the primary purpose is personal property.
How much did you buy it for and how many hours on it? I need to buy one
$8500, it shows ~4,600 hours but the hour meter was not functional when I bought it. I suspect somewhere around 7,000-9,000 but I could be wrong. Maintenance goes a long way, it could very well have under 5,000 but it doesn't represent it well.

Free tip:
Don't cut the tree before you dig it up. Use the leverage to your advantage then cut the timber.
You should have beat the stump before you lifted it out of the hole. The more dirt you leave on it, the heavier it is.
You can dig with any bucket but that bucket is a ditch bucket you need a narrow bucket
What did you pay for it just curious cuz I'm looking for one
$8,500 in the exact condition seen in the video. This was immediately after unloading from trailer and checking fluids.
Mine is a 85 580D.your looks real close to mine.you need teeth on the the bucket.dont do that with stump is right. Little at a time.

Where's the CAT hat, the half, chewed soggy cigar, the green shirt with your name embroidered on the chest? Where's the plumber's crack?
