New Holland L330 Troubleshooting
The
New Holland L330 skid steer loader is powered by 195.2 cu.in (3.2L) FPT F5C
E5454 4-cylinder turbocharged liquid-cooled diesel engine with a rated power of
84 hp (63 kW) at 2500 rpm. The New Holland L330 is equipped with a vertical-lift
loader boom, one-speed or two-speed hydrostatic transmission, ASA 100 drive
chains, and 12x16.5 standard tires. The hydraulic system has a pump with fluid
flow rate of 22.4 gpm (85 lpm) or 34.6 gpm (131 lpm). The skid steer loader has
a rated operating capacity of 3000 lbs (1360 kg) and tipping load of 6000 lbs
(2720 kg). The lift height is 131 inches (3330 mm) to hinge pin, and dump height
is 104.7 inches (2660 mm).
