Mustang 2200R Troubleshooting

The Mustang 2200R skid steer loader is powered by 202.6 cu.in (3.32L) Yanmar 4TNV98CT-NMS 4-cylinder vertical in-line turbocharged liquid-cooled diesel engine with a rated power of 70.7 hp (52.7 kW). The Mustang 2200R is equipped with a radial-lift loader boom, one-speed or two-speed hydrostatic transmission, 100H drive chains, and 12x16.5 HD standard tires. The hydraulic system has a pump with fluid flow rate of 23.5 gpm (89.6 lpm) or 35 gpm (132.6 lpm). The skid steer loader has a rated operating capacity of 2200 lbs (998 kg) and tipping load of 4400 lbs (1995 kg). The max lift height is 123" (3125 mm) to hinge pin, and dump height is 94" (2390 mm).
