Case 480F Backhoe Loader
The
Case 480F is a 2WD or 4WD backhoe loader. This model was manufactured from 1991
to 2002. The Case 480F is fitted with a 239 cu.in (3.9 L) J.I. Case 4-390
4-cylinder liquid-cooled diesel engine with a rated power of 69 hp (51.5 kW) and
maximum torque of 252 Nm (186 lb-ft) at 1200 rev/min.
The Power Shuttle transmission consists of a hydraulic clutch, 4x4
partially synchronized gearbox, and single stage torque converter. The
maximum travel speed (forward/reverse): 20.9 mph (33.7 km/h) and 18.2
mph (29.3 km/h).
The open center hydraulic system includes a gear pump with a flow of 23
gal/min (87 l/min). The hydraulic pressure is 169 bar (2450 psi). The
2WD models are equipped with 7.50x16 front tires and 14.9x24 rear tires.
The 12x16.5 front tires and 17.5Lx24 rear tires are used for 4WD
tractors. The wheelbase is 80" (2030 mm) for models with two-wheel drive
(4x2), or 81" (2050 mm) for models with four-wheel drive (4x4).
The loader has a max lift height of 130.4" (3300 mm) at pin and bucket
dump clearance of 105.5" (2670 mm). The lift capacity is 4600 lbs (2090
kg) at full height (pivot pin), and breakout force (bucket on ground) is
8300 lbs (3770 mm). The boom raising time is 5.1 seconds from ground
line to max height, and bucket dump time is 1.8 sec. The loader can be
equipped with a 74" (1870 mm) short lip bucket or 82" (2075 mm) long lip
bucket.
The backhoe can dig to a maximum depth of 181.8" (4610 mm) for
extendahoe. The digging force is 3710 lbs (1685 kg) for the dipperstick
cylinder (extendahoe) and 8630 lbs (3920 kg) for the bucket cylinder
(extendahoe). The overall reach from swing pivot at ground level is
224.2" (5690 mm). The backhoe is available with a 12", 18", 24", 30" and
36" buckets.
