New Holland L785 Troubleshooting

The New Holland L785 skid steer loader is powered by 204 cu.in (3.3L) Perkins 4.2032 4-cylinder liquid-cooled diesel engine with a rated power of 57 hp (42.5 kW) at 2300 rpm. The New Holland L785 is equipped with a radial-lift 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 16 gpm (60.6 lpm). The hydraulic pressure is 2600 psi (176 bar). The skid steer loader has a rated operating capacity of 2050 lbs (930 kg) and tipping load of 4100 lbs (1860 kg). The lift height is 121.5 inches (3085 mm) to hinge pin, and dump height is 99 inches (2515 mm).
