Hi Y'all. I have a case 580B CK backhoe which works great albeit a bit cumbersome. I have other tracked excavators so don't really need the backhoe BUT it is a great front loader. Mostly just move stuff around the farm and small building jobs so it doesn't get used really and is just sitting there...Shame.
My idea is to remove the boom and bucket/arm etc. and leave the jacks etc. (for the weight) and just use it as a front loader. Removal from the kingpin and join the hoses flow to return, this would make it way more useable.
Anyone got any ideas why this won't work.
Anyone else done it.
Wouldn't take much to fit it back on if I needed it.
See picture and tell me what you think.
Cheers
Hank
