Unlike other models, the 580N EP obviates the need for diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) and particulate filter maintenance, making it an exceptionally straightforward and low-maintenance choice for operators. Its combination of user-friendly controls, optional four-wheel drive (4WD), and standard SiteWatch™ Telematics positions the 580N EP as not only accessible for operators of varying experience levels but also as a prime candidate for rental markets. Excelling in versatility, it offers the digging prowess of a light-duty excavator, the loading capability of a wheel loader, and the adaptability of a skid steer, crafting a balance where efficiency meets formidable power.

Purpose-Built Performance

Performance in the 580N EP begins with its design. It features a heavy-duty loader with long arms and an in-line linkage system, optimizing truck loading tasks, even under uneven loads. A revolutionary over-center design mitigates “porpoising” and, when paired with the optional Ride Control, delivers a significantly smoother ride while preserving more material. Powered by a robust 74-hp FPT engine and equipped with a standard Power Shuttle transmission, it assures dependable performance across various applications. The Comfort Steer feature enhances operational efficiency, reducing the turning radius by half and minimizing effort during loading or stockpiling tasks.

The backhoe component boasts nearly 3,000 lbs of lifting force and over 11,500 lbs of breakout force. The optional ProControl anti-rebound feature offers precise and responsive control. A universal coupler option allows compatibility with various attachments, and a factory-installed thumb further enhances its utility. Moreover, standard SiteWatch Telematics facilitates optimal machine performance and maintenance tracking.

Common-Sense Fuel Efficiency

The 580N EP employs a Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC) to adhere to Tier 4 Final emissions standards, promoting fuel efficiency without additional operator intervention. This compliance is achieved without needing DEF addition, DPF replacement, fuel-burning regeneration, streamlining operations and minimizing costs.

CASE Comfort & Visibility

The 580N EP is designed with operator comfort and visibility in mind. Optional comfort enhancements include:

• Climate control.
• A hands-free Bluetooth radio with USB.
• An adjustable heated suspension seat.

Its design prioritizes visibility, featuring floor-to-ceiling windows and a low-profile hood for superior sightlines. The machine is equipped to operate efficiently in various lighting conditions, with standard Easy-Flex cab lights and optional LED lights for enhanced visibility with reduced power consumption. Operators can choose between standard CASE foot-swing controls and optional dual-lever mechanical “wobble sticks” or opt for adjustable pilot controls with intuitive fingertip functions for a tailored operational experience.

Simple Serviceability

Efficiency extends to the 580N EP’s serviceability. Routine maintenance is streamlined through conveniently grouped, ground-level service points. Features like swing-out coolers, a flip-up hood, spin-on filters, and externally adjustable Extendahoe® wear pads simplify upkeep. Standard battery disconnect and jumpstart terminals offer security and easy access, while the DOC Tier 4 Final solution eliminates the concern of DPF maintenance.

In conclusion, the CASE 580N EP Backhoe Loader stands out for its power, efficiency, and ease of use, making it a versatile and reliable choice for any construction equipment fleet.
