CASE Construction Equipment has launched an exclusive 580 Super N Construction King backhoe loader edition honoring its founder Jerome Increase Case, with only 50 units available worldwide. The special edition combines vintage styling with modern performance, featuring a metallic silver and dark gray livery, the classic CASE “tread” logo, and individually numbered badge plates bearing the founder’s signature.
Blending Nostalgia with Cutting-Edge Performance
While paying homage to CASE’s 1957 breakthrough as the first manufacturer to integrate backhoe loaders, these limited machines maintain the standard 580 Super N’s 97-horsepower capability and advanced features. Buyers can choose between PowerDrive Powershift or Power Shuttle transmissions, along with ProControl swing dampening and ECO Mode fuel-saving technology that delivers up to 15% efficiency gains over conventional models.
Collector’s Item with Jobsite Credentials
“The Signature Edition represents our founder’s pioneering spirit in a machine that works as impressively as it looks,” said Terry Dolan, CASE VP for North America. The air-suspension seats with custom upholstery and vintage badging complement professional-grade components like four-wheel drive and Extendahoe technology that provide 24,485 lbf of bucket breakout force.
Engineering Legacy Meets Modern Demand
This release coincides with renewed interest in CASE’s backhoe heritage, as the company reports a 22% increase in loader backhoe sales last quarter. The limited run celebrates CASE’s 180th anniversary while demonstrating the enduring relevance of its original integrated loader-backhoe concept, which remains a jobsite staple six decades after its introduction.
Availability and Collector Interest
Interested buyers must contact authorized CASE dealers directly, with deliveries beginning in Q3 2023. Industry analysts predict rapid sellouts given the combination of collector appeal and full commercial functionality, mirroring the success of previous CASE heritage equipment releases that have appreciated up to 40% in secondary markets.
