New Holland LS160 Troubleshooting
The
New Holland LS160 skid steer loader driveline system components: a 121.7 cu.in
(2L) Shibaura N844 vertical 4-cylinder indirect injection liquid-cooled diesel
engine with a rated power of 46 hp (34 kW), and single-speed hydrostatic
transmission. The hydraulic system has a pump with a rated capacity of 15.5
gal/min (58.7 l/min). The system relief pressure is 2600 psi (177 bar). The New
Holland LS160 is equipped with 80 HD roller chains and 10x16.5 tires. The skid
steer loader has a boom lifting force of 2825 lbs (1285 kg) and bucket breakout
force of 3712 lbs (1685 kg). The rated operating capacity is 1700 lbs (770 kg),
and tipping load is 3400 lbs (1540 kg).
