Mustang 2086 Troubleshooting

The Mustang 2086 skid steer loader is powered by Cummins B3.3 4-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine with a rated power of 80 hp (60 kW) or Yanmar 4TNV98T 4-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine with a rated power of 84 hp (63 kW). The Mustang 2086 is equipped with a radial-lift boom, single or two speed hydrostatic transmission, 100H drive chains, and 12x16.5 standard tires. The hydraulic system has a pump with fluid flow rate of 21.8 gpm (82 lpm) or 36.9 gpm (140 lpm). The skid steer has a rated operating capacity of 2600 lbs (1180 kg) and tipping load of 5200 lbs (2360 kg). The lift height is 123" (3125 mm) to hinge pin, and dump height is 95" (2415 mm).
