Bobcat 753 Troubleshooting
The
Bobcat 753 skid steer loader driveline system components: a 134.1 cu.in (2.2L)
Kubota V2203-EB vertical 4-cylinder water-cooled diesel engine with a rated
power of 43 hp (31.8 kW), and single-speed hydro transmission. The hydraulic
system has a pump with a rated capacity of 15.9 gal/min (60.1 l/min). The system
relief pressure is 2750 psi (190 bar). The Bobcat 753 is equipped with a
radial-lift loader boom, 80HS drive chains, and 10.00x16.5 standard tires. The
skid steer loader has a max lift height of 109.1" (2770 mm) to hinge pin and
dump height of 84.6" (2150 mm). The rated operating capacity is 1300 lbs (590
kg), and tipping load is 2600 lbs (1180 kg).
