    Date plate for Case 480c

    Where is the data plate for a Case 480C located? I'm interested in buying one out of state and asked the seller to send me a picture of it so a friend of mine can research it. The seller emailed me, saying he checked the tractor top to bottom and can't find it.

    Case 480C TLB

    Is the Case480c something that should be avoided? I'm looking at one with a FEL and gannon for $6,000.00. It's a lot cheaper than the 580 I was looking at ($10,000).

    Which FEL/Backhoe?

    I want a FEL/backhoe for a little yard work and moving snow in the winter. We get a decent amount here in New Mexico. I plan on putting between 100 and 200 hours a year on the tractor. So I'm thinking an older unit should be ok? My limit is $7,000.00. I have seen many for under $5,000.00, but...

    need help with unknown diesel engine

    I'm hoping I can also get a decent tractor for no more than $5k. I'm still looking, but the ones that cheap sell right away. I really don't want to spend a lot of money because I'm only going to use it for around my house.

    Which excavators are made by the same people??

    So is there a particular brand to avoid? I'm really confused with my limited knowledge of tractors and such. I was under the impression to stay away from the "gray" market units.

    Mini loader cost?

    I'm in the market for a loader (possibly with backhoe). But my price range is $5k at most. I see these cheap tractors for sale often, but they sell right away. I'm just lookin g for something to use around my house and to clear snow. We get a lot out here. Thanks for any advice!

    backhoes and auctions

    What kind of shipping rates are you paying? I can only imagine what it would cost to ship a 12k pound machine a few hundred miles. I’m in NM and still looking for a backhoe. Hoprfully a cheap old unit I can afford:D

    Scaaaaaaaary 80 Feet!!!!

    A friend of mine said he did the same thing with his set up. He as a duelly dodge, and he said when he drove his tractor onto the goose-neck trailer, it lifted the back of the truck and caused the truck to slam into the trailer. Besides a new paint job, no one was hurt.
