Mustang 2012 Troubleshooting
The
Mustang 2012 skid steer loader driveline system components: a 81.2 cu.in (1.3L)
Yanmar 3TNV82 four-cycle three-cylinder direct injection water-cooled diesel
engine with a rated power of 24 hp (17.9 kW), and 1-speed hydrostatic
transmission. The hydraulic system has a pump with a rated capacity of 10.1
gal/min (38.2 l/min). The system pressure is 2750 psi (190 bar). The Mustang
2012 is equipped with a radial-lift boom, 80K drive chains, and 5.70x12 tires.
The skid steer loader has a max lift height of 96" (2440 mm) to hinge pin and
dump height of 72.3" (1835 mm). The rated operating capacity is 850 lbs (386
kg), and tipping load is 1700 lbs (772 kg).
