Isuzu 4JB1-PK01 4-cylinder liquid-cooled diesel engine with
a rated power of 54 hp (40.3 kW), and 1-speed hydro transmission. The hydraulic
system has a pump with a rated capacity of 16.2 gal/min (61.3 l/min). The system
relief pressure is 2400 psi (165 bar). The Bobcat 843B is equipped with a
radial-lift loader boom, 100H drive chains, and 8.25x15 standard tires. The skid
steer loader has a max lift height of 119.6" (3035 mm) to hinge pin and dump
height of 94.5" (2400 mm). The rated operating capacity is 1700 lbs (772 kg),
and tipping load is 3400 lbs (1545 kg).
