Bobcat S130 Troubleshooting
The
Bobcat S130 skid steer loader is powered by Kubota V2203-M-DI diesel engine with
a rated power of 46 hp (34.3 kW) or Kubota V2403-M-DI diesel engine with a rated
power of 49 hp (36 kW). The Bobcat S130 is equipped with 1-speed hydrostatic
transmission, radial-lift loader boom, 80 HSOC roller chains, and 10x16.5 or
31-12x16.5 tires. The hydraulic system has a pump with fluid flow rate of 16.9
gpm (64 lpm). The hydraulic pressure is 3350 psi (231 bar). The skid steer
loader has a rated operating capacity of 1300 lbs (590 kg) and tipping load of
2630 lbs (1195 kg). The lift height is 109.5 inches (2780 mm) to hinge pin, and
dump height is 82.7 inches (2100 mm).
