New Holland L215 Troubleshooting
The
New Holland L215 skid steer loader driveline system components: a 133.8 cu.in
(2.2L) Shibaura N844LT 4-cylinder IDI turbocharged diesel engine
with a rated power of 57 hp (42 kW), and 1-speed hydro transmission. The
hydraulic system has a pump with a rated capacity of 15.6 gal/min (59 l/min).
The system pressure is 3045 psi (210 bar). The New Holland L215 is
equipped with a radial-lift loader boom, ASA 80 drive chains, and 10x16.5
standard tires. The skid steer loader has a max lift height of 112" (2845 mm) to
hinge pin and dump height of 88.4" (2245 mm). The rated operating capacity is
1500 lbs (680 kg), and tipping load is 3000 lbs (1360 kg).
