Case 590SR 4WD PS Ext*, 2007 Technical Specifications

Introduction

The Case 590SR 4WD PS Ext* is a versatile and powerful backhoe loader that is designed to handle a wide range of construction, landscaping, and agricultural tasks. Its technical specifications reveal a number of features that are aimed at improving productivity, efficiency, and ease of operation. However, these features also have their limitations and drawbacks. In this article, we will provide a comprehensive analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of the Case 590SR 4WD PS Ext*.

SideShift or CenterMount

The Case 590SR 4WD PS Ext* has a SideShift (SS) configuration, which means that the operator can shift the entire backhoe assembly from side to side on the wheel axles to reach a larger work area without having to move the whole machine. This feature provides greater flexibility and maneuverability in tight working conditions, and reduces the need for repositioning the machine. However, the SideShift configuration may also affect the stability and balance of the backhoe, especially when working on uneven or sloping terrain.

SAE dig depth (mm)

The SAE dig depth of the Case 590SR 4WD PS Ext* is 5799mm, which is a measure of the maximum depth the backhoe can excavate. This specification demonstrates the high digging capability of the backhoe, which is useful for deep excavation or trenching tasks. However, the depth of the excavation also depends on the type of soil and the angle of the backhoe arm, so the actual dig depth may be less than the stated specification.

Reach @ ground level (mm)

The Reach @ ground level specification of the Case 590SR 4WD PS Ext* is 6992mm, which indicates the maximum distance the backhoe arm can reach horizontally from the machine’s centerline, at ground level. This feature allows the operator to access hard-to-reach areas and perform a wider range of tasks, such as loading and unloading materials, without having to move the machine. However, a longer reach also implies a heavier load on the backhoe arm, which may reduce stability and control, and increase the risk of tipping over or equipment failure.

Loading height (mm)

The loading height of the Case 590SR 4WD PS Ext* is 4645mm, which refers to the maximum height the backhoe can lift a load from the ground. This specification is important for tasks that require loading or unloading onto trucks or elevated platforms. A higher loading height may allow for faster and more efficient work, but it may also require additional support or anchoring to prevent tipping or overloading.

Bucket width, min-max (mm)

The bucket width specification of the Case 590SR 4WD PS Ext* ranges from 300mm to 900mm, which provides flexibility for different types of digging and loading tasks. A wider bucket can cover a larger area and reduce the time required for excavation, while a narrower bucket can provide greater precision and control. However, the choice of bucket width also depends on the type of material being excavated, as well as the machine’s capacity and stability.

Bucket breakout (kgf)

The bucket breakout force specification of the Case 590SR 4WD PS Ext* is 5713kgf, which indicates the maximum force the bucket can exert on the ground to break up soil or other materials. This feature is important for tasks that require heavy excavation or lifting, such as mining or construction. A higher breakout force can increase productivity and reduce the time required for excavation, but it may also have an impact on the soil or surface being excavated, and cause damage or instability.

Dipper breakout (kgf)

The dipper breakout force specification of the Case 590SR 4WD PS Ext* is 3849kgf, which refers to the force the backhoe arm can exert on the ground or an object to dig or lift it. This feature is essential for tasks that require precision and control, such as landscaping or farming. A higher dipper breakout force can enable the operator to manipulate the backhoe arm more easily and perform delicate or complex tasks, but it may also affect stability and control, especially when dealing with heavy loads or soft ground.

Slew System

The Case 590SR 4WD PS Ext* features a Twin Ram Slew System, which provides smooth and stable rotation of the backhoe arm by means of two hydraulic rams. This system offers greater precision and control over the movement of the arm, and reduces the risk of unintentional rotation or jerking. However, the Twin Ram Slew System may also increase the complexity and maintenance requirements of the machine, as well as the cost of replacement parts.

Loader Bucket Capacity (m3)

The loader bucket capacity of the Case 590SR 4WD PS Ext* is 1m3, which refers to the volume of material that can be loaded into the bucket at one time. This feature is important for tasks that require moving bulk materials, such as gravel, sand, or dirt. A higher loader bucket capacity can increase productivity and reduce the number of trips required to move the material, but it may also affect the stability and balance of the machine, especially when working on uneven or sloping terrain.

Dump height (mm)

The dump height specification of the Case 590SR 4WD PS Ext* is 2693mm, which refers to the maximum height the loader bucket can be lifted to dump its contents. This feature is important for tasks that require dumping the material into a truck or container, such as construction or demolition. A higher dump height can increase efficiency and reduce the time required for loading and unloading, but it may also require additional support or anchoring to prevent tipping or overloading.

Bucket width (mm)

The bucket width specification of the loader bucket of the Case 590SR 4WD PS Ext* is 2250mm, which provides a wide range of options for loading and unloading materials. A wider bucket can increase productivity and reduce the time required for loading, while a narrower bucket can provide greater precision and control. However, the choice of bucket width also depends on the type of material being loaded and the capacity of the machine.

Bucket breakout (kgf)

The bucket breakout force specification of the loader bucket of the Case 590SR 4WD PS Ext* is 6521kgf, which indicates the maximum force the bucket can exert on the material being loaded. This feature is important for tasks that require heavy lifting or pushing, such as construction or mining. A higher breakout force can increase productivity and reduce the time required for loading, but it may also have an impact on the material being loaded, and cause damage or instability.

Engine Make & Model

The Case 590SR 4WD PS Ext* is equipped with a Case 445TA M2 engine, which is a 4.5L, 4-cylinder diesel engine that delivers 82kW of power at 2200rpm. This engine is designed to provide high performance and efficiency, while meeting the latest emissions standards. However, the size and complexity of the engine may also increase the maintenance and repair costs of the machine.
