The
New Holland L320 skid steer loader is powered by 133.8 cu.in (2.2L) Shibaura
N844LT 4-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine with a rated power of 57 hp (42.4
kW) at 2900 rpm. The New Holland L320 is equipped with a vertical-lift loader
boom, one-speed or two-speed hydrostatic transmission, ASA 80 drive chains, and
12x16.5 standard tires. The hydraulic system has a pump with fluid flow rate of
19 gpm (72 lpm) or 28.8 gpm (109 lpm). The skid steer loader has a rated operating capacity of 2000 lbs (905 kg)
and tipping load of 4000 lbs (1810 kg). The lift height is 121 inches (3075 mm)
to hinge pin, and dump height is 94.6 inches (2405 mm).
