CASE 580C BACKHOE - How to get a backhoe unstuck in the mud (HD) 

Beating a dead horse here, but as mentioned brasmussen81 your concept was right on track, but you do not need to lift as high. Like mentioned either don't lift or just lift the outriggers so they keep you from tipping over. I usually try to pull strait back first before setting over if I can. My first go to action is to try and "bucket out" if I can. Lift your front bucket and curl it open than lower it to lift the front of the loader. While you curl the bucket closed and reverse this can sometimes push you back out of the hole and your front tire is lifted. This just saves me from having to unfold the hoe if I don't have to.

You did fine. You don't need to lift up so high, though. Also, you didn't have to raise your stabilizers up when you shifted over, either. Now, what I would do is unlock the boom, extend it out and try to back out of it. The weight of the boom will give you enough traction most of the time in situations like that. If your differential lock works, it can make a world of difference as well, which you may already know.

I've been running equipment for many years and getting stuck almost as long. I was just wondering why you put your outriggers down so much. Next time this happens to ya, lower them enough to keep your self from tipping over, and don't raise yourself up so high.

Obviously, if you don't wanna go forward, then pull instead of push. It's at times more difficult to pull, depending on the mud, you may need to turn the front bucket over and use it to help by pushing while you pull with the back. That's what has always worked for me, anyway. Again, you did fine, though so I wouldn't worry too much about what some people are saying. The RPM's you were running were fine, too. Where I worked, we were trained to run the backhoes at full throttle and it was easier

to control them, if you have any ability at all. We dug around all types of lines and utilities all day, every day. Anyway, that 580C looks like she's in pretty good shape for her age. The oldest I ran was a 580E, newest were a 580M's. Mostly a 580 Super L with Ride Control (fancy haha) and I loved that machine.

it's done all the time, they're made of steel for a reason, not legos. when you're working these things, you're usually not in an area where "help" is available, except a dozer or trackhoe. do what needs done, people running these things usually have a lick or two of common sense about them and generally know the risks and consequences. sure, could have been a bit smoother, but he got the job done.

Good job, you got the machine out nothing damage and no one hurt. thumbs up.

Hey dude, that machine is capable of “walking on it’s buckets” through terrain way worse than that!

You're not an idiot. Everyone has to learn, and at least you're listening to all the unsolicited advice. One thing I noticed is that you took off with the boom hanging. You do know how to lock the boom into travel position, don't you?

backhoe never dies :)

good video. That is how we learn. Kind of like learning to ride on a bike.

Wouldna thought that way/\ >> ___ versus forward bucket tip with boom lifts and push...neat to know it works when I get stuck...a few times in the grease we have here. Best of the Season too....

@jjgerg if you saw how completely saturated the ground was, and how quickly you sink like crazy.

yeah i never said i was demonstrating the textbook way to do it. just showing my way of doing it that day. maybe i am still an idiot :)

That tractor was not stuck to begin with. I have jumped more ditches with buckets full gravel than i care to remember. Put the bucket down flat and use it as sled runner both ways.......

Boa sorte e tomara que,hoje, você esteja dominando bem a máquina!

thanks for the advice

dickdog75 that was cool. I haven't operated a Case in several years. I enjoyed your video. Smooth. I work exploration drill-rig support, and my crew is two brothers whom are learning to operate hoes. I give them pointers then leave them to their own. We have three, a Deere 310, and two cats, 416B&C. We prefer the Deere,lighter not as heavy as the Cat.You did everything right in my book. Good job, and your machine appears to be in well-kept condition. Me, I enjoy my job, I operate blade.

how to unstick this machine,,,,,,,,,, put the digging bucket on hard ground, lift the machine and slew to the hard side, Time taken 2 minutes!

@jamesgebert thanks!

bucket and outriggers 2 steps 60seconds

Seems like you didn't need the outriggers at all? Just wondering.

slick move but went way higher than you needed to and really didn't need the out riggers

how did you do that?

thought it was going over for sure😂

yeah i know it was risky but i was very careful. just learning the abilities of the case 580c :)

yeah no big deal. i try to be careful. but you did say i was an idiot :)

You not stuck that’s daily for me

who has not experienced overturn the machine

@stevestew11 post negative comments somewhere else. people that call other people idiots on youtube are usually pussies who act tough on their couch. want to impress me? post your own video. at least post one video up on youtube. come on... lets see your skills

Please.... All of that was un-necessary. I have gotten hoes out of much worse using just the front and rear buckets.

Now I would say that is how you flip the son of a bitch over and fuck it up

try lifting it up 3 meters then flip it over.omg

oops. don't go through there. Skills are damn good. Next thing on the list is to get a 4x4 machine. lol

Nope.

A guy wanted to look cool but did the opposite lol😎

can we say dumb sure I knew this guy is

I wouldn't say that situation is called "stucked", it's too easy for me... putting this video embarass yourself and show you're not skilled enough...

Cut the revs and things will be a bit smoother and he's lacking a wee bit in experience.

You can tell he don't know what he's doing

thanks for the advice
