Hey Guys,
I'm looking at buying a 580B Construction King that's for sale not too far from me. I don't know a lot about these, and don't use heavy equipment much. I'm looking at this for some farm-type use, pushing some smaller trees, doing a little ditch digging, digging some footings, installing some culverts, some drive maintenance, digging a half mile of utility trenches, etc.
I'm not sure what the year is. The owner says that it runs great, no blowby, smoke, etc, says the pump is strong and it's a power shuttle. The right steering hydro cylinder has a leak, and some small leaks on some of the other hydro cylinders. The swing cylinders were rebuilt a few years ago by the previous owner (this guy had it a year). Also could use a set of brakes.
He's asking $6500, what are your thoughts? I haven't really seen any 580C's that are in my price range. Here are a few pics:
