Mustang 1500R Troubleshooting
The
Mustang 1500R skid steer loader driveline system components: Yanmar 4TNV88C-KMS
4-cylinder direct injection naturally aspirated diesel engine with a rated power
of 44.5 hp (33 kW), and 1-speed hydrostatic transmission. The hydraulic system
has a pump with a rated capacity of 17 gal/min (64.4 l/min). The system relief
pressure is 2750 psi (190 bar). The Mustang 1500R is equipped with a radial-lift
loader boom, 80K drive chains, and 10x16.5 HD standard tires. The skid steer
loader has a maximum lift height of 119" (3325 mm) to hinge pin and dump height
of 93.7" (2380 mm). The rated operating capacity is 1500 lbs (680 kg), and
tipping load is 3000 lbs (1360 kg).
