Bobcat M611 Troubleshooting
The
Bobcat 611 skid steer loader driveline system components: a 85.2 cu.in (1.4L)
Deutz F2L411 4-cycle 2-cylinder air-cooled diesel engine with a rated power of
27.5 hp (20.5 kW), and variable sheave transmission. The hydraulic system has a
pump with a rated capacity of 8.7 gal/min (32.1 l/min). The system relief
pressure is 1700 psi (117 bar). The Bobcat 611 is equipped with a radial-lift
loader boom, 60H drive chains, and 7.00x15 standard tires. The skid steer loader
has a maximum lift height of 108" (2745 mm) to hinge pin and dump height of 86"
(2185 mm). The rated operating capacity is 1000 lbs (454 kg), and tipping load
is 2100 lbs (955 kg).
