Case 580N EP Backhoe Loader

The 580N EP Case backhoe loader is positioned as an “efficient power” (EP) version of the 580N, with a maintenance-free Tier 4-Final engine that uses a DOC and no DPF. At 74 horsepower, which is smaller than the standard 580N’s engine, the EP version has backhoe breakout force of 11,517 pounds, backhoe lift capacity of 2,858 pounds, and peak torque of 233 lb.-ft. This, says Case, provides performance “similar” to the N. Lift capacity on the loader bucket is slightly less, 6,500 pounds versus 6,800 for the N.
