John Deere 328 Troubleshooting
The
John Deere 328 skid steer loader is powered by 186 cu.in (3L) JD PowerTech
5030TW 5-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine with a rated power of 76 hp (56.7
kW) at 2800 rpm. The John Deere 328 is equipped with single-speed or two-speed
transmission, vertical-lift loader boom, 100 HD drive chains, hydraulic wet disc
brakes, and 14x17.5 tires. The hydraulic system has a pump with fluid flow rate
of 22 gpm (84 lpm). The hydraulic pressure is 3100 psi (214 bar). The skid steer
has a rated operating capacity of 2750 lbs (1250 kg) and tipping load of
5500 lbs (2500 kg). The boom lifting force is 4800 lbs (2180 kg), and bucket
breakout force is 10500 lbs (4767 kg).
