Review of the Case 580LE 2WD, 1998
Overview
The Case 580LE 2WD is a powerful and versatile machine that offers significant advantages over traditional backhoe loaders. This model boasts a number of impressive technical specifications, including a SAE dig depth of 4360mm, reach at ground level of 5440mm, loading height of 3340mm, bucket width of 305-914mm, a bucket breakout of 4975kgf, and a dipper breakout of 3195kgf. It is powered by a Case4-390 engine, producing 54kw@2200rpm, which has a displacement of 3.9 liters and 4 cylinders. Moreover, it features a gear pump with a flow of 108 lit/min and a relief valve pressure up to 210 bar, as well as a P’shuttle, TC transmission system and drive of 2WD. Additionally, the maximum speed of the machine is 34.5km/h, and its travel length and height are 5640mm and 3340mm respectively. The overall operating weight of the machine is 7070kg.
Advantages
Power & Versatility
The most obvious advantage of the Case 580LE 2WD is its power and versatility. The powerful 54kw engine produces a maximum torque of 270 Nm, enabling the machine to go as fast as 34.5 km/h. Additionally, the gear pump flow of 108 lit/min allows for smoother loading and unloading operations. This helps operators work efficiently and safely with the machine. The impressive loading height of 3340mm also allows operators to carry larger or heavier loads with relative ease.
Durable Structure
The Case 580LE 2WD has been designed with durability in mind. Its robust structure helps to ensure longevity and reliable performance. The SAE dig depth of 4360mm is one of the highest depths in its class, and the machine also has a reach at ground level of 5440mm. This means that it can handle deep digging tasks with ease, and the bucket breakout of 4975kgf allows for powerful and fast loading operations. Moreover, the machine’s arms and bucket are manufactured with robust materials to withstand the constant strain of arduous tasks. Finally, the machine features a slew system of Twin ram, which is renowned for its reliability and stability.
High Safety Standards
The Case 580LE 2WD also takes safety seriously. The ride control reduces operator fatigue, ensuring safe operation at all times. Additionally, the machine’s travel length of 5640mm and travel height of 3340mm reduce the risk of potential accidents. Finally, the turn circle radius without brakes of 10400mm allows operators to manoeuvre in and around tight spaces.
Disadvantages
Fuel Consumption
The Case 580LE 2WD is not the most efficient model when it comes to fuel consumption. The powerful engine can cause the machine to use more fuel than other models in its class. This can become quite costly, especially when used on a regular basis. Additionally, the machine’s oil filter needs to be replaced every 600 hours of operation, which can lead to additional maintenance costs.
Noise Level
The Case 580LE 2WD also produces a considerable amount of noise. The powerful engine can produce loud noises when in use, which can be disruptive to the working environment. Additionally, operators need to wear hearing protection when using the machine, which can be uncomfortable in hot environments.
Weight & Dimensions
Finally, the Case 580LE 2WD is quite large and heavy compared to other machines in its class. Its overall operating weight is 7070kg and its width is 2360mm. This can make it difficult to transport and move the machine around, and can also limit access to some areas or job sites.
Overall Assessment
The Case 580LE 2WD is a powerful and versatile machine that offers numerous advantages to operators. Its impressive technical specifications, durable structure and high safety standards make it an ideal choice for any worksite. However, its fuel consumption and noise level can be an issue when used on a regular basis, and its weight and dimensions can be a limitation in certain scenarios.
