(3.3L) Cat C3.3B DIT 4-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine with a rated
power of 72.9 hp (54.4 kW), and 2-speed hydro transmission. The hydraulic
system has a pump with a rated capacity of 23 gal/min (86 l/min) or 32 gal/min
(121 l/min). The system relief pressure is 3335 psi (230 bar) or 4060 psi (280
bar). The Cat 262D3 is equipped with 100HS continuous roller chains and 12x16.5
tires. The skid steer loader has a max lift height of 124.9" (3170 mm) to hinge
pin and dump height of 93.7" (2380 mm). The rated operating capacity is 2700 lbs
(1255 kg), and tipping load is 5400 lbs (2450 kg).
