CASE Showcase the SV Backhoe Loader Range with New Video
The new range is made up of three models: 580SV, 590SV and 695SV with outputs ranging from 96 to 110hp. All 3 models are fitted with the latest Stage 5 emissions compliant FPT F36 diesel engine.
One of the most noticeable features for me is the all-new cab which is wider than previous models and provides greater clearance for the operator’s legs when rotating the seat between forward facing and rear facing configuration.
A re-design to the left-hand cab console sees the wiper tank fitted beneath one of the new open tray storage units, enabling convenient refills via the left-hand door.
The new cab layout also features a relocated parking brake, new speedometer option, regrouped switches on the right-hand console, new integrated F-N-R switch in the loader control lever on the Power Shift model, new joystick roller switch for extending dipper operation and relocated stabiliser levers.
The FPT 3.6-litre engine’s High Efficiency SCR2 (Hi-eSCR2) aftertreatment system is said to be maintenance-free for the first 8,000 hours, and when teamed with the new Eco mode, contributes to 10% lower fuel consumption. Oil changes are now set at 500-hour interval; a new variable volume pump only provides oil when needed, helping to further reduce operating costs.
