its nice to see young mature kids learning to work ive been fascinated with equipment since i was a kid ,i have a b7100 as well as an ex mark its funny because you own a lot of the equipment i do! i just bought a 24hp walker to mow with so i can bag the clippings
@shamanmant Actually, no that is the "master brake pedal." That uses the left and right brake at the same time. Source: Operating the Case 580C myself and Case 580C operator's manual.
Hey, thanks for the video. I have a 480C and didn't understand how to change gears until I saw this video. I have the landscape box on the back of mine. I've had it in the garage over the winter trying to figure out how the heck to change the fan belt. Wow, what a job.... the fan pulley was split. I think the previous owner had the spacer backward and the tension pulled it apart. Anyway... I learned a lot about it and now I know a bit more. Was thinking of putting out a video of my adventure. I took some clips, but my home pc is NOT WORKING...thanks Windows 10 upgrade!!! not. Have a great day and thanks again.
the pedal to the right of the brakes is the clutch, the little one below the brakes might be another pedal for the clutch, which would make sense, when u apply the clutch it typically applies the brake, just like my 580ck
3 levers... wow she's an oldie. Hey considering you had one free hand, and 3 levers to actuate, I have to say you did quite well! I still only have a handful of combined hours on the hoe-end of several machines... but none as old as this.
I liked this viedo a lot. Hat's off to you, I've been running equipment most of my life and I can not run a Case 3 lever at all. I learned how to dig on a Deere but I've been running excavator w/ Cat controls for most of the last 10 years. I have never "got" Case controls, I turn into freakin' moron on a strange new world and all I can is gouge holes and make a mess. This sub we use for granite curb has Case SM &SN's with 3 lever, and those guys are down right amazing to watch, so fast & smooth
Pedals, alright. I haven't run one like that in decades, but I bet it would all come back. You have to learn how to move 2 levers at once with each hand. Then you'll be smooth and fast.
We have a 580C at the golf course I work at. I am a good operator with 2 stick controls, and even old 4 stick Ford controls. I can barely use the 3 stick Case with foot pedal controls. I understand how it works but my motor skills are hardwired to those 2 sticks. These don't make any sense to me it's so much more complicated...
boardingpass04 well everyone starts out GREEN you’re not born knowing how to operate equipment... I fucking hate veterans acting like they started out ace at operating anything. It’s fucking annoying.
