ASV VS-75 Troubleshooting

The ASV VS-75 skid steer loader is powered by 177 cu.in (2.9L) Deutz TD2.9L4 vertical four-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine with a rated power of 74 hp (55 kW) at 2800 rpm. The ASV VS-75 is equipped with a two-speed hydrostatic transmission, 100 ANSI continuous roller chains, and 12x16.5 standard tires. The hydraulic system has a gear pump with fluid flow rate of 26 gpm (98.4 lpm) or 30.9 gpm (117 lpm). The hydraulic pressure is 3335 psi (230 bar). The skid steer loader has a rated operating capacity of 3500 lbs (1587 kg) and tipping load of 7000 lbs (3175 kg). The boom lifting force is 6325 lbs (2828 kg), and bucket breakout force is 5920 lbs (2685 kg).
