New to me.........580K.......haven't had time to play with it yet.......

It looks like you have the large front weight.
Be carefull with what you try to haul in the loader bucket.

Is it larger than normal??.......I did notice when I had a bucket load of concrete that the front tires were in a bind (flat) inflated to 40psi.........

They offerd two weights for the 580K
COUNTERWEIGHT front, 900 lbs
COUNTERWEIGHT front, 400 lbs

As told to me when i bought one.
The 900# is for hoe work mostly.
The 400# is for multi-purpose.
No front weight if loader work mostly.
The more counterweight you are carrying the less payload in the loader.
And the harder the machine will be on front end components.
Makes sense as the front axle does have a max load rating.
