The Bobcat S595 skid steer loader is powered by 146.5 cu.in (2.4L) Bobcat Doosan D24 four-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine with a rated power of 74 hp (55.2 kW) at 2600 rpm. The Bobcat S595 is equipped with 1-speed or 2-speed hydrostatic 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 17.1 gpm (64.7 lpm). The hydraulic pressure is 3500 psi (241 bar). The skid steer loader has a rated operating capacity of 2200 lbs (998 kg) and tipping load of 4400 lbs (1996 kg). The boom lifting force is 4796 lbs (2180 kg), and bucket breakout force is 5620 lbs (2554 kg).
