Power, Comfort and Control, for Latest Evolution of CASE Construction Equipment’s Iconic 580SV Backhoe Loader

CNH’s CASE Construction Equipment has updated its popular 580SV backhoe loader, with a host of improvements that will cut operating costs for customers and increase productivity for operators. With best-in-class engine power and torque, the 580SV delivers improved lifting and digging performance, with increased fuel efficiency.

A new transmission option incorporates Automatic Direct Drive, which engages in third and fourth gears, locking the power of the engine to the transmission. This reduces losses in the transmission, increasing gradeability and acceleration, resulting in reduced travel times for the operator and improved fuel consumption while travelling. The machine also benefits from lower noise levels at higher travel speeds, as the engine and transmission work together.

The 580SV also comes with a brake enable idle system, that allows the operator to use the machine in a cruise control manner, using the hand throttle to maintain engine and machine travel speeds. When it is necessary to slow the machine, pressing the foot brakes automatically switches the throttle to an idle position, making it easier to reduce speed.
