Bobcat 741 Troubleshooting
The
Bobcat 741 skid steer loader is powered by 101 cu.in (1.65L) Deutz F2L511
four-cycle two-cylinder air-cooled diesel engine with a rated power of 29.7 hp
(22.1 kW) at 2800 rpm. The Bobcat 741 is equipped with a radial-lift loader
boom, single-speed hydrostatic transmission, 80HS drive chains, and 7.00x15
standard tires. The hydraulic system has a pump with fluid flow rate of 11 gpm
(41.6 lpm). The hydraulic pressure is 2400 psi (165 bar). The skid steer loader
has a rated operating capacity of 1300 lbs (590 kg) and tipping load of 2600 lbs
(1180 kg). The lift height is 109 inches (2770 mm) to hinge pin, and dump height
is 86.3 inches (2190 mm).
