Caterpillar 279D Specifications
The
Cat 279D compact track loader is powered by 203.1 cu.in (3.3L) Cat C3.3B
DIT 4-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine with a rated power of
71.8 hp (53.6 kW). The Caterpillar 279D is equipped with a two-speed
hydrostatic transmission, radial-lift loader boom, fully suspension
undercarriage, and 15.7" (400 mm) or 17.7" (450 mm) rubber tracks. The hydraulic
system has a high flow XPS pump with fluid flow rate of 32 gpm (121 lpm). The
hydraulic pressure is 4060 psi (280 bar). The loader has a rated operating
capacity of 2055 lbs (932 kg) and tipping load of 5870 lbs (2660 kg). The lift
height is 124.9" (3.18 m) to hinge pin, and dump height is 97.8" (2.49 m).
