New Holland L213 Troubleshooting

The New Holland L213 skid steer loader is powered by 133.8 cu.in (2.2L) Shibaura N844L four-cylinder vertical in-line water-cooled diesel engine with a rated power of 46 hp (34 kW) at 2800 rpm. The New Holland L213 is equipped with a radial-lift loader boom, 1-speed hydrostatic transmission, ASA 80 drive chains, and 10x16.5 standard tires. The hydraulic system has a pump with fluid flow rate of 15.6 gpm (59 lpm). The hydraulic pressure is 3045 psi (210 bar). The skid steer loader has a rated operating capacity of 1300 lbs (590 kg) and tipping load of 2600 lbs (1180 kg). The lift height is 112 inches (2845 mm) to hinge pin, and dump height is 88.4 inches (2245 mm).
