Bobcat 883 G-Series Problems
The
Bobcat 883 G-Series skid steer loader driveline system components: a 178 cu.in
(2.9L) Deutz BF4M1011F 4-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine with a rated power
of 73.5 hp (54.8 kW), and 1-speed or 2-speed hydro transmission. The hydraulic
system has a pump with a rated capacity of 20.7 gal/min (78.4 l/min) or 30.7
gal/min (116.3 l/min). The Bobcat 883 is equipped with a vertical-lift loader
boom, 100HS drive chains, and 33x15.5x16.5 standard tires. The skid steer loader
has a max lift height of 124.3" (3155 mm) to hinge pin and dump height of
99" (2515 mm). The rated operating capacity is 2750 lbs (1275 kg), and tipping
load is 5500 lbs (2550 kg).
