    Trailering a 530CK or 580CK

    I know that it's on the ragged edge. a gooseneck/5th wheel would definitely be better than a bumper pull. Even then, it would be past the GCWR for a 3/4 ton, but within both GAWRs and the tire ratings. I was thinking that a 580B would be the limit as a 580 C/D get allot heavier. dwloop, how...

    What to look for in an Older Backhoe (580CK era)

    I'm looking for an older backhoe, something from the 580CK era. Not that I have any affinity for old backhoes other than their lower cost. Seems like I can get a 580CK for $4K. Also finding some 580B & 530CK at that price point, but as soon as I look even for a 580C the price jumps up allot...

    Trailering a 530CK or 580CK

    Can these size machines be trailered by a 3/4 ton truck w/ a trailer? I believe that w/ a loader & backhoe that the 530 is under 10K lbs. & that the 580CK is under 11K lbs. Thinking that a 14K trailer can handle a 11K payload. BTW, I do not have a 530 or 580, but am looking for one. When I...
