New Holland LS150 Troubleshooting
The
New Holland LS150 skid steer loader driveline system components: a 91.3 cu.in
(1.5L) Shibaura N843H 3-cylinder naturally aspirated liquid-cooled diesel engine
with a rated power of 38 hp (28.3 kW), and 1-speed hydrostatic transmission. The
hydraulic system has a pump with a rated capacity of 12 gal/min (45.4 l/min).
The system relief pressure is 2600 psi (177 bar). The New Holland LS150 is
equipped with 50/80 HD roller chains and 10x16.5 tires. The skid steer loader
has a boom lifting force of 2400 lbs (1090 kg) and bucket breakout force of 3500
lbs (1590 kg). The rated operating capacity is 1400 lbs (635 kg), and tipping
load is 2850 lbs (1295 kg).
