Hi
I want to buy a 4x4 hoe for homesite work.
I looked at a 1990 Ford 555 B? maybe. It has 4500 hrs and some worn pins. It also has a problem with the lever that puts the mach in forward. Maybe an adjustment? Has some rust.
I also looked at a 1986 Case 580E. It has 6500hrs and a bad fuel leak out of the top of the IP. It has more rust than the Ford. Other than the fuel leak and the rust, it looks good.
I know nothing about backhoes. I do like the Cummins in the Case cause my Dodge has the same type of motor.
I also know of a 1995 Cat 416B with 7000 hrs for the same price as the other machs. I haven't seen it yet.
So which one would you get?
Thank you
Dean
