Two or three sources have listed the 580k 4x4 at around 9.1k pounds where the 580c 2 wheel drive is listed at 10.1k pounds. Honestly I like the lower weight as I’m fighting the need to upgrade my truck. My wife wants me to get f350 drw but I don’t transport in that weight range enough to justify it yet. Can rent a 3/4 ton for $300 a day.
I’m trying to get a hold of that 580k. With 4x4 and extend a hoe that seems like some where between a fair and good deal.
There’s things I like about the c and the k model but if it came down to two units both 2 wheel drive and comparable I’m leaning towards a c model. I like that the drive train is not all in one housing. If something went down on the k id probably just buy a refurb transaxle because I don’t want to pull it twice. The c because the clutch’s and transmission is more accessible id be less worried about rebuilding it myself if need be. Also won’t feel as much pressure to rebuild everything at once since it’s not all one unit.
All that said if that deal on the k pans out I’m going to get it, hard to pass up 4x4 and extend a hoe for only $3000 more….
