I had a hydraulic problem on my skid steer and called all my local dealers in the lake Ozark area. They were all weeks out and really acted like they didn’t want to take the job. We called Luby Equipment out of Springfield and they pulled it in the next day to diagnose, and got the ball rolling. Travis at the desk answered all our phone calls and let us know the progress. If my Case machine needs work from here on out, I’ll be taking it to Luby. Customer service was tip top

Response from the owner:Cody, we appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review. We’re glad we could get you taken care of on such short notice. We know downtime is money lost, so keeping customers updated and getting machines back to work matters. We’ll make sure Travis and the Springfield team see this.

Fall Is Prime Time for Utility and Road Work

In the Midwest, fall is often one of the last optimal windows for open-ground projects before frost and frozen soil make digging more difficult. Missouri municipalities and contractors commonly use this season to:

• Repair and replace utility lines
• Patch and maintain roads
• Install stormwater systems
• Prepare new job sites for winter shutdown

Backhoes are especially well-suited for this type of work because they combine excavation and material handling capabilities in one machine.

Why CASE Backhoes Fit the Bill

CASE backhoes, including models such as the 580N EP, are designed for reliability, fuel efficiency, and straightforward operation—qualities that are crucial when crews are working against seasonal deadlines.

Key benefits include:

• All-day comfort: Enclosed, climate-controlled cabs help operators stay productive during fluctuating fall temperatures.
• Efficient power: With 74 HP and a Tier 4 Final engine that doesn’t require a diesel particulate filter (DPF), the 580N EP is a cost-effective option for daily utility work.
• Flexible design: With both a front loader and rear excavator, CASE backhoes can handle trenching, grading, lifting, and debris cleanup with minimal setup time.

Common Fall Job Examples

Here are a few typical fall projects in Missouri where CASE backhoes shine:

• Emergency water line repairs: Seasonal temperature changes can stress older infrastructure. Backhoes allow for quick excavation and backfilling.
• Road shoulder restoration: After a summer of traffic and rain, road edges often need stabilization and grading.
• Drainage installation: Fall is an ideal time to install culverts or stormwater systems before heavy winter runoff arrives.

CASE Backhoe Models for Fall Projects

Luby Equipment offers several CASEbackhoe models suited for fall roadwork and utility tasks, including:

• CASE 580N EP: Fuel-efficient and cost-effective, ideal for municipalities and general contractors.
• CASE 580N Construction King: Offers upgraded features and enhanced hydraulic performance for heavier-duty applications. Built for contractors who need more capability and all-day productivity.
• CASE 580 Super N: Provides enhanced breakout force and backhoe performance for harsh digging conditions.
• CASE 590 Super N: The most powerful option in the lineup, built for larger excavation and material-handling projects.

Each model offers dependable CASE engineering, easy serviceability, and versatile functionality to meet the diverse needs of various job site demands.

Maximizing Productivity With the Right Attachments

Fall projects often benefit from attachments like hydraulic hammers (for breaking up old concrete), compactors, and hydraulic thumbs for picking up brush or broken materials. CASE backhoes are compatible with a wide range of tools that increase efficiency and minimize manual labor during short work windows.

Local Support for Fall Projects

At Luby Equipment, we help Missouri contractors and municipal crews keep their CASE machines in peak condition through the fall season and beyond. Whether you need a new backhoe, seasonal maintenance, or job-specific attachments, our team can help you gear up for critical end-of-year work.
