More than 50 years of setting the standard

Everybody wants to say they’re No. 1, but when you get right down to it, there’s only one leader of the pack. More than 50 years ago, Case built the world’s first fully integrated tractor loader/backhoe warranted from the factory and designed specifically for construction applications.

The Case M Series 2 Loader/Backhoe Lineup

Powertrain

Proven power - right when you need it

Case Family 3 engines have evolved over the years to meet Tier II emission certification and your most demanding expectations.

With a 500-hour oil change interval, dual element air cleaner, and optional aspirated air cleaner, these engines are smooth, high torque, fuel-efficient powerhouses. Increased displacement provides added lugging ability for faster loader and backhoe cycles.

The Power-Shift versions of the Super M models have a viscous fan drive that operates only when it's needed, resulting in maximum net horsepower for your toughest tasks. Whether you choose the four-speed synchro-mesh transmission or the optional Power-Shift, with automatic up/downshift on 4WD Super M models, you'll appreciate the smooth, easy operation of a Case M Series 2 Loader Backhoe

The lubed-for-life U-joints mean less maintenance and more productivity from your loader backhoe. For maximum protection, a heavy-duty steel weldment guards the in-line driveshaft on four-wheel-drive machines. Four-wheel-drive can be engaged on the fly and disengaged with the push of a button to help reduce tire wear.

Serviceability

Maximize uptime to maximize profit

When machines are down for service, they're not on the job making money. Fast and easy serviceability is designed into each Case M Series 2 Loader/Backhoe. Flip-up hood, visual checks for engine coolant and hydraulic fluid level, remote lube for axle pivots and permanently sealed and lubricated driveshafts minimize lubrication time. Coupled with spin-on filters to provide fast and clean 500-hour engine oil changes, M Series 2 maintenance costs are the lowest in the industry.

A componentized powertrain makes fast repairs of major components possible. The availability of remanufactured components for engines, torque converters, transmissions and axles keeps repair costs to a minimum

Operator Environment

Comfortable and productive

Operator comfort and visibility are key factors in maximizing productivity and profitability. The operator environment in the Case M Series 2 Loader Backhoe features modern styling, with a quiet, spacious work area for comfortable, precise operation all day long

It starts with wide access entry and continues with extra leg room. Expansive tinted and curved glass on cabs prevents distortion and reduces sound level for clear comfortable visibility to the loader and backhoe operations. Heater vents are directed low to warm feet in cold weather, while air conditioning vents direct cool fresh air around the operator's head.

The large cab increases operator comfort during a long workday and provides extra legroom when rotating the seat from loader to backhoe operation. Add an optional right-hand door for access from either side. A window in the door can be latched open in a vent position or fully opened, and the 3-piece rear window gives an operator more ventilation options.

Cab models can be equipped with an optional cloth air-suspension seat with armrests for ultimate all-day comfort. And the deluxe cab package lowers sound levels to 72 dB(A) for a quieter ride.

Case Pilot Controls, available on all models, feature exclusive infinite fore/aft position adjustment and infinite lateral adjustment. Exclusive height adjustable wrist rests and thumb-operated proportional control for the Extendahoe provide relaxed fingertip operation. In cab pattern change switch allows matching backhoe or excavator control preference for increased productivity.

Optional auto up stabilizer control allows the operator to raise the stabilizers while swiveling the seat to the loader position for faster turn around and increased productivity.

Loader Performance

More material moved in less time means greater productivity

To make the most of tight deadlines and ever-tightening profit margins, you need a productive (high performance) loader backhoe. Case loaders have more built-in perfromance features than any other machine on the market!

Long-life bushings in loader pivots make accurate grade control possible. Inline, dual bucket cylinders provide more break-out force with less stress. Dual linkage enables lengthy material such as culverts or pipe to be carried across the linkage. Trunion-mounted bucket cylinders provide powerful roll-back and rapid dump for fast loader cycle times.

Choose from an assortment of loader buckets to meet your particular needs, including general purpose, 4 IN 1® and scrap grapple designs. All Case buckets feature lift hooks and pre-drilled holes for reversible, bolt-on cutting edges. Bolt-on cutting edges come standard on 580 Super M and 590 Super M loader buckets.

You also get automatic hydraulic self-leveling on the lift cycle to maintain control of the load. For maximum bucket load retention and operator comfort, order your M Series 2 machine equipped with Ride Control.

Backhoe Performance

Speed, precision and power; the M Series 2 Loader Backhoe has it all

The M Series 2 backhoe delivers all the power you need with fine control. This productive combination of speed and precision gives you the optimum backhoe performance you expect from Case.

The exclusive Pro Control System lets you feel your way through backhoe functions and allows you to quickly position the bucket with pinpoint accuracy. The anti-rebound swing system cushions the boom to minimize over-swing, vibration and spillage when stopping suddenly. You’ll enjoy faster cycle times and appreciate the added feeling of control.

To help finish the job quickly and efficiently, large trenching buckets offer more capacity, moving more material with each cycle. An optional backhoe hydraulic quick-coupler makes switching bucket sizes or other attachments fast and simple without the operator ever leaving the cab.

The proven Case over-center backhoe design offers a smoother ride when roading or traveling around the job site. It also helps the backhoe lift heavy loads and provides superior stability for climbing grades, even with a hammer mounted on the backhoe. Sturdy ductile iron stabilizers give the machine sure footing on a variety of surfaces. Pinned in position, combination, flip-over pads ensure protection on improved surfaces or provide the stability necessary for maximum crowd force in soil.
