Hi Richard-

The specifications for those hoes are on the Murphy Tractor website- while the spec sheet for the 580C doesn't specifically discuss weight, the spec sheet for 580D does indicate the Extendahoe around 3000 pounds. To me that doesn't seem to be too excessive relative to the weight of the Model 51 hoe that could go on a 2010 at 2600 pounds.

The spec sheet for the Case does indicate that additional fron counterweight is needed for the Extendahoes but it would seem to me that your multipurpose (4in1) bucket would address that. Obviously the other issues include ensuring that the 580C is an open center attachment and fashioning the hoe bracket to fit one.

We mounted a case 580 hoe attachment (Non-extendable stick) on our 450C loader cat. It it much heavier than a 9550 or 9300 deere hoe and is about maximum size hoe for a 450. Also, the hoe is fairly slow as the cylinders are larger - the case 580 must have a higher flow pump.

We use this loader hoe cat for just around the yard for heavy lifting. The hoe is really just a counter weight in our case. We mostly use a non-hoed 450C loader for most of are yard work.

I would go with the smaller hoe, the 2010 is a much smaller tractor than a 450C. I would suggest a Case D125 off a trencher or skidsteer would be best option.

looks like 580 with extend is about 3800# 50/51/93/95 and 9550s are about 1000# less looks like im stuck with the 480 oh well no extend and only 12 foot deep pumps on 2010 are 24 gpm at 2200 and the 480 pump is 23.5 gpm at 1900 so that should be just fine and the reason im useing the 480 or 580 is i have both of them dont have any others
