Bobcat S175 Troubleshooting
The
Bobcat S175 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 S175 is equipped with 1-speed or 2-speed
transmission, vertical-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 has a
rated operating capacity of 1750 lbs (794 kg) and tipping load of 3900 lbs (1770
kg). The boom lifting force is 3600 lbs (1633 kg), and bucket breakout force is
3550 lbs (1614 kg).
