Bobcat 853 Troubleshooting
The
Bobcat 853 skid steer loader is powered by 169 cu.in (2.8L) Isuzu 4JB1-PK03
vertical inline 4-cylinder liquid-cooled diesel engine with a rated power of 58
hp (43 kW) at 2600 rpm. The Bobcat 853 is equipped with a radial-lift loader
boom, single-speed hydrostatic transmission, 100HS drive chains, and 12.00x16.5
standard tires. The hydraulic system has a pump with fluid flow rate of 18 gpm
(68.1 lpm) or 24 gpm (90.8 lpm). The skid steer loader has a rated operating
capacity of 1700 lbs (772 kg) and tipping load of 3420 lbs (1548 kg). The lift
height is 119.6 inches (3035 mm) to hinge pin, and dump height is 93.1 inches
(2365 mm).
