ASV RC-60 Troubleshooting
The
ASV Posi-Track RC60 compact track loader driveline system components: a 135
cu.in (2.2L) Perkins 404C-22T 4-cylinder indirect injection turbocharged diesel
engine with a rated power of 60 hp (44.7 kW), and 1-speed hydro transmission.
The hydraulic system has a pump with a rated flow of 17.4 gpm (65.9 lpm). The
system pressure is 3000 psi (207 bar). The ASV RC-60 is equipped with
radial-lift loader boom, axial-piston drive pumps, and 15" (380 mm) rubber
tracks with embedded co-polymer cords. The loader has a max lift height of
115.5" (2920 mm) to hinge pin. The rated operating capacity is 1330 lbs (603
kg), and tipping load is 3800 lbs (1725 kg).
