New Holland L150 Troubleshooting
The
New Holland L150 skid steer loader is powered by 91.3 cubic inches (1.5 L)
Shibaura N843H three-cylinder indirect injection liquid-cooled diesel engine
with a rated power of 38 hp (28.3 kW) at 3200 rpm. The New Holland L150 is
equipped with a single-speed hydrostatic transmission, 50/80 HD roller chains,
and 10x16.5 standard tires. The hydraulic system has a pump with fluid flow rate
of 11.6 gpm (44 lpm). The hydraulic pressure is 2500 psi (172 bar). The skid
steer loader has a rated operating capacity of 1350 lbs (612 kg) and tipping
load of 2700 lbs (1225 kg). The lift height is 115.8 inches (2940 mm) to hinge
pin, and dump height is 92.2 inches (2340 mm).
