Case 570LXT Loader Landscaper: Specs, Parts & Common Issues
Produced 1996 through 2002 — Case's loader/landscape tractor built on the 580L chassis. Cummins 4-390 engine, Carraro 4-speed power shuttle, wet-disc brakes, and standard 4WD only (no 2WD variant). Rear configuration is a 3-point hitch with 540 PTO instead of a backhoe.
The Case 570LXT is a "loader landscaper" — a four-wheel-drive utility tractor with a front loader and a rear three-point hitch with PTO, built on the same chassis as the 580L backhoe loader. There is no factory 2WD variant: every 570LXT is 4WD. The rear three-point hitch (commonly equipped with a Gannon box blade, which is why the LXT is sometimes called a "Gannon tractor") replaces the backhoe found on the 580L sibling. The 570LXT is widely used in landscape, golf course, municipal, and light grading applications.
Because the 570LXT shares the 580L's powertrain — Cummins 4-390 engine, Carraro 4-speed power shuttle, Carraro 4WD planetary front axle, wet-disc multi-plate brakes — most service parts cross directly from the 580L catalog. The chassis-specific parts are the rear 3-point hitch, 540 PTO assembly, and Case-LXT-specific cab and sheet metal.

Where to find the serial number plate
The 570LXT tractor serial is on a data plate on the left side of the dashboard inside the cab. All production uses the JJG prefix shared with the 580L backhoe — confirming common chassis and parts ecosystem. Read the full JJG serial to identify Series I vs. Series II.
Production years and Series I vs. II
Industry sources cite 1996–2002 as the volume production window. The most important serial break is JJG0225755 — machines built before this serial are Series I, after are Series II. Series II coincided with the introduction of the optional turbocharged Cummins 4-390 variant; Series I was naturally aspirated only.
Engine and powertrain
The 570LXT is powered by the Cummins 4-390 (4B 3.9L) — the same engine that powers the 580L, 580SL, early 580M Series I, and the 1845C skid steer. 239 cubic inches, 4.02 in bore × 4.72 in stroke, naturally aspirated on Series I machines, with an optional turbocharged 4T-390 on Series II. Stanadyne (Roosa Master) rotary mechanical injection pump. Maximum torque ~197–217 lb-ft at 1,200–1,400 rpm.
Transmission is a Carraro TLB 4-speed power shuttle — identical to the 580L. Hand-operated forward-neutral-reverse shuttle lever on the column, mechanical 4-speed gearbox. The Carraro transaxle and most internal components share part numbers with the 580L family. Top road speed approximately 20 mph.
Standard 4WD Carraro axle
Every 570LXT shipped factory 4WD only. There is no 2WD variant. The front axle is a Carraro Type 26.32M planetary drive axle — the same axle family Case used on 580L / 580M 4WD backhoes and 585G / 586G / 588G forklifts. Front axle parts cross widely from those models.
The 4WD axle is the defining mechanical difference between the 570LXT and the 580L. On a 580L, 4WD is optional; on the 570LXT, it's standard. If you're ordering front-end parts and the catalog lists 2WD vs. 4WD, always order the 4WD parts for a 570LXT.
Loader and 3-point hitch
The standard front loader is a pin-on quick-attach with a hydraulic cylinder hose group. Bucket options include the general-purpose bucket, the popular 4-in-1 (clamshell) bucket for grading and dozing work, and forks for material handling. Loader lift capacity is approximately 5,293 lb, with breakout force around 7,811 lb. Maximum dump clearance is roughly 8 ft 9 in.
The rear is configured with a Category II 3-point hitch and 540 rpm PTO — directly replacing the backhoe and stabilizer assembly found on the 580L. Most 570LXTs in the field run a Gannon box blade integrated into the 3-point. Optional rear hydraulic remotes and PTO priority valves were also offered.
Common problems documented by owners
Carraro shuttle hesitation
Slow F/R engagement after the machine sits — fixed by cleaning the transmission strainer screen and inspecting the modulator / control valve. Same complaint pattern as the 580L.
Loader pin and bushing wear
Heavy landscape duty cycles (lots of loader work) wear the boom pivot and bucket pins faster than equivalent components on a 580L backhoe. Complete pin and bushing rebuild kits cross from the 580L catalog.
Rear PTO seal leaks
Unique to the 570LXT — the 3-point hitch / PTO output seal leaks into the rear housing. The 580L backhoe has no PTO at the rear and doesn't share this failure mode. Replacement output seal is a documented service item.
Front axle outer planetary leaks
Carraro hub seals are wear items. Same failure mode as the 4WD 580L and 580M. Verify the lower kingpin grease zerk presence — missing or sheared zerks accelerate Carraro wear dramatically.
Cab AC evaporator failures
High failure rate in hot climates. Same 131127A2 evaporator core as the backhoe siblings.
Air pre-cleaner intake collapse
The air pre-cleaner (193867A1) can collapse from neglect during dusty work. Inspect and clean regularly.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Case 570LXT?
A "loader landscaper" — a 4WD utility tractor with a front loader and a rear three-point hitch with PTO. Built on the 580L backhoe chassis with the backhoe replaced by the 3-point assembly. Used in landscape, golf course, municipal, and light grading work.
What years was the 570LXT made?
1996 through 2002. The Tier 2 successor (570MXT) took over in 2003.
What engine is in a Case 570LXT?
The Cummins 4-390 (4B 3.9L) — the same engine that powers the 580L. 239 cubic inches, ~75 HP gross in naturally aspirated form, with a turbocharged option on Series II machines (after serial JJG0225755).
Is the 570LXT 2WD or 4WD?
4WD only. There is no 2WD variant. Every 570LXT shipped factory with a Carraro 26.32M planetary 4WD front axle — the same axle family as the 4WD 580L and 580M.
Does the 570LXT have a backhoe?
No. The 570LXT has a Category II 3-point hitch and 540 rpm PTO in place of the backhoe. Most 570LXTs in the field are equipped with a Gannon box blade or similar landscape implement.
What does "LXT" mean?
Case never officially decoded the suffix on spec sheets. The most common readings are "Loader Tractor" and "Extreme Tractor." The "L" tracks the 580L generation it's built on; the "XT" marks it as the loader-landscaper variant.
What is the Series I vs. Series II split on a 570LXT?
Serial break at JJG0225755. Series II coincided with the introduction of the optional turbocharged Cummins 4T-390 engine. Series I is naturally aspirated only. The site's dedicated filter category breaks parts at this serial.
Does the 570LXT share parts with the 580L?
Most parts cross. The engine, Carraro transmission, 4WD front axle, wet-disc brakes, hydraulic system, and many cab and electrical components are shared with the 580L parts catalog. The LXT-specific parts are the rear 3-point hitch assembly, 540 PTO drive, and rear sheet metal.
Where is the serial number on a Case 570LXT?
Stamped on a data plate on the left side of the dashboard inside the cab. All 570LXT serials carry the JJG prefix shared with the 580L.
Need parts for your Case 570LXT?
Cummins 4-390 engine kits, Carraro 4WD axle parts, wet-disc brake components, hydraulic seal kits, rear 3-point hitch parts, and complete pin and bushing kits — most parts cross from the 580L catalog. Talk to a tech for help identifying LXT-specific items: (800) 909-7060, Mon–Fri 7a–5p CT.
