Case 85XT Troubleshooting
The
Case 85XT skid steer loader is powered by 239 cu.in (3.9L) Case 4-390 4-stroke
4-cylinder direct injection naturally aspirated diesel engine with a rated power
of 80 hp (59.7 kW) at 2200 rpm. The Case 85XT is equipped with a hydrostatic
transmission, 100HS continuous roller chains, vertical-lift boom, and 12x16.5
standard tires. The open center hydraulic system has a pump with fluid flow rate
of 20.3 gpm (77 lpm). The hydraulic pressure is 3000 psi (207 bar). The skid
steer loader has a rated operating capacity of 2400 lbs (1090 kg) and tipping
load of 4800 lbs (2180 kg). The boom lifting force is 4935 lbs (2245 kg), and
bucket breakout force is 6175 lbs (2805 kg).
