I ran one for several years digging various jobs but mainly joint utility trench for PG and E, the utility company in the Santa Clara (Silicon) Valley, California, back in the 1970's. Those old 580's were pretty good units, sure, certain things wear out, but there were no really weak,points.....the 188 Diesel engines were real good and quite powerful. Only thing I ever thought about them was the tractor unit itself was a little small,or light to carry the heavy backhoe/loader equipment.......later versions, B's, C's etc., had bigger tractor components. As a part time use tool a "good" 580CK loader/backhoe should be real useful on a farm I would think.....But bear in mind, they are all old and most of them gotta be pretty well worn out by now, so check out them real well for excessive wear in the various joints and links and leaky hydraulic equipment as well as the engine and tractor drive train.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
