CASE Construction Equipment has launched a rare, limited edition 580 Super N Construction King backhoe loader, designed to celebrate the company’s long-standing history of innovation. Known as the J.I. CASE Signature Edition, this unique machine combines standout performance with a distinctive aesthetic, hitting select CASE dealers in December 2024.
“The 580 Super N backhoe loader has always been an iconic machine in terms of jobsite performance. Now, we’re giving it an iconic jobsite presence with this signature edition,” Terry Dolan, vice president — North America, CASE Construction Equipment said.
“Who says your workhorse machine can’t also be a show horse?”
Production is limited to just 50 machines, each featuring a striking metallic silver and dark gray color scheme, the retro CASE “tread” logo and an individually numbered badge plate bearing the signature of CASE founder Jerome Increase Case.
The design also includes premium features such as an air-suspension seat with custom upholstery, providing added comfort and distinction.
This special edition celebrates CASE’s legacy of over 180 years of groundbreaking innovation, which includes pioneering road construction equipment, introducing the first factory-integrated backhoe loader in 1957, and releasing the industry’s first commercially available electric backhoe loader, the 580EV, in 2024.
The J.I. CASE Signature Edition matches the standard 580 Super N in performance, offering 97 horsepower, leading breakout forces and advanced features like four-wheel drive, PowerLift and Extendahoe technology, ProControl swing dampening and ECO Mode for fuel savings.
Buyers can choose between PowerDrive Powershift or Power Shuttle transmission options, as well as pilot or CASE foot swing controls.
“We’ve designed this machine to celebrate the ingenuity and work ethic of the man who started it all for this company,” Dolan said.
“It’s an ethos we carry on to this day and we want to commemorate him with a machine that delivers both standout performance and presence on the job.”
With its powerful capabilities and striking design, the J.I. CASE Signature Edition backhoe loader offers a bold statement for crews looking to stand out on the jobsite.
