New Holland L221 Troubleshooting
The
New Holland L221 skid steer loader is powered by 207 cu.in (3.4L) FPT F5H FL463
4-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine with a rated power of 68 hp (51 kW) at
2500 rpm. The New Holland L221 is equipped with a radial-lift boom,
1-speed or 2-speed hydrostatic transmission, ASA 100 drive chains, and 12x16.5
standard tires. The hydraulic system has a pump with fluid flow rate of 24.2 gpm
(91.5 lpm) or 33.2 gpm (125.7 lpm). The hydraulic pressure is 3045 psi (210
bar). The skid steer loader has a rated operating capacity of 2100 lbs (953 kg)
and tipping load of 4200 lbs (1905 kg). The lift height is 123" (3125 mm)
to hinge pin, and dump height is 98.2" (2495 mm).
