@hammerdwn20 Yea he's still working for the same company. The N is pretty good, he has had some minor issues with it but thats expected when you by a machine the first year it comes out. He doesn't say much about it compared to other backhoes because he not equipment crazy like me, to him its just another machine but he did say he didn't like running the older backhoe to much after being in the N so thats means it must be a pretty good machine lol.
@AlwaysDigging16 The lever for the boom snapped off because the weld was garbage. Your dad ran it with vise-grips in its place until we got it fixed. Other than that it's been a pretty good machine overall. The electronic throttle and parking brake are the biggest differences from the m's and before.
@AlwaysDigging16 The company im working for now will probable be getting a new 590n this year to replace the L. Id like to get another foot swing machine just to keep other operators off of it. i think if they get pilot controls more guys will want to give it a go.
I sure miss my old job playing with equipment all the time but the pay and bennies werent there
@hammerdwn20 Yea i hear in todays economy every penny counts and benefits are just as important because if you get hurt without benefits your screwed. Thats a good idea to keep people of equipment, just get a foot swing lol. I think once you get the hang of a foot swing machine you have better control, but you do lose some comfort with the 4 stick as compared to joysticks.
@mccormickchainsaw Nope because in the first vid of him digging I asked him if it was in gear and he checked and it wasn't so idk why it spins like that lol.
every Case backhoe I have ever seen has the wheel spin to it for some reason.
