I always assumed they were the 580C, but when I look at old pictures of the 580C the levers are always on the floor at the front of the cab. I'm sure the machines I remember had the excavator control levers at the side of the seat. These were definitley pre 580D machines as the 580D was a far more modern machine in it's looks and in the cab with a better interior and gaters around the levers.
Did later versions of the 580C have the levers at the side of the seat or am I thinking of a different model of Hymac. Maybe I'm just remembering it wrong and they were 580Cs with the levers at the front I also seem to remember the button for the horn being on the side of the cab I think
Cheers, Col
Col,
There were some 580CT's which were made primarily for the Scandinavian market, having said that some did find there way onto UK sites.
Here is an example ...
