Case Launches New Loader/Backhoes

Case Construction Equipment recently launched a complete update of its loader/backhoe product line, introducing four new N Series loader/backhoe models. The new Case 580N, 580 Super N, 580 Super N Wide Track and 590 Super N loader/backhoes replace the company’s M Series 3 product line. The new machines all feature 4,5 l, turbocharged engines, ranging from 79 hp in the 580N to 108 hp in the 590SN.

“One new feature that is a real game-changer on the N Series is Case-exclusive Power Lift™,” said Rob Marringa, marketing manager, Case Construction Equipment. “Power Lift channels the hydraulic power directly to the boom with the touch of a button. As a result, our backhoe lifting capabilities outperform competitive models by as much as 39% while running at low engine RPMs.”

A new fabricated boom design increases strength while maintaining the over-center design. Backhoe bucket pins are larger and stronger to accommodate the improved lift capacities. By providing lift capabilities comparable to a five-ton excavator, with superior dig depths, the N Series loader/backhoes may eliminate the need to trailer an excavator to the jobsite.

The Case N Series introduces a new transmission family, the Powershift S-Type™, Powershift H-Type™ and Powershuttle options. All transmission choices are available on the 580SN, 580SN WT and 590SN. The 580N offers the Powershift S-Type and Powershuttle transmissions.

The N Series machines deliver improved cycle times and efficiencies through the new Variable Volume Hydraulic (VVH) System. The VVH System operates at a lower temperature than competitive hydraulic systems. The 580N continues to offer a single gear pump open hydraulic system.
