Need help with a Case 580B weight

[tresslers]

I am new to the group here, I just bought a Case 580b diesel backhoe and I am trying to find out how much it weights and the height to the top of the cab so i can get it shipped. Does anyone here know that info? This is my first backhoe so I hope things go well
thanks

The 580E weighs about 14-15K with loader and hoe. I'd guess your B would be similar. Cab height is about 10'. The 580's hauled in my area are usually towed by a dump truck with a deck over trailer.

It's listed in my Book at 15738#

I started a new thread on some help that I need for the machine. I will watch the ebay auctions and see if I can win them. What about the ones on cd?

A paper manual for my 580D was $130.00 at the dealer. I couldn't find any much cheaper than that. It has EVERYTHING in it for my tractor. It's new with no missing pages or smudges. Just FYI.

a paper service manual is $371 from the dealer for a 580b. Or that is what i was quoted.

AIE CURUMBA!! I now understand.... I can't imagine why it's so much higher.
Unless they got the parts,owners, and service all together?

At that price, it must include some yoga lessons so you are more flexible.
