Used 580C backhoe
I have a chance to purchase a 1980 or so case backhoe. 580. It presently belongs to a friend, so I have seen it work as well as have minor hose breaks etc for the last three years. It has ne wtire on front, and a heated cab. No broken glass,new batteries and alternator.It is in relatively good shape as far as I can tell. He only used it maybe four times a year on a light duty job. So I am comfortable that therer are no hidden troubles.
My question is its value, he wants 12,ooo. dollars. I ahave sean some with broken glass, twisted buckets etc.
Is this a good price? I think it is average. give the prices I have seen in this part of the country. New Hampshire.
Id appreciate any infor anyone has.
Thanks..feel free to email me
