JD PowerTech E 5030HT 5-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine with a
rated power of 80 hp (59.6 kW), and 2-speed hydro transmission. The hydraulic
system has a standard pump with a rated capacity of 21 gal/min (80 l/min). The
system relief pressure is 3450 psi (238 bar). The John Deere 328D is equipped
with vertical-lift loader boom, 100 HD drive chains, and 14x17.5 tires. The skid
steer loader has a maximum lift height of 127.1" (3230 mm) to hinge pin and dump
height of 101.2" (2570 mm). The rated operating capacity is 2800 lbs (1270 kg),
and tipping load is 5600 lbs (2540 kg).
