transmission. The hydraulic system has a pump with a rated capacity of 23
gal/min (87.1 l/min). The system pressure is 3550 psi (245 bar). The Bobcat T770
is equipped with hydraulic disc brakes and rubber tracks with steel inserts. The
compact track loader has a lift height of 132" (3350 mm) to hinge pin and
dump height of 104.3" (2650 mm). The rated operating capacity is 3135 lbs (1420
kg), and tipping load is 8960 lbs (4065 kg).
