single-speed or two-speed transmission, 100 HD roller chains, and 12x16.5 R4
standard tires. The hydraulic system has a pump with fluid flow rate of 18.5 gpm
(70.1 lpm). The hydraulic pressure is 2600 psi (176 bar). The skid steer loader
has a rated operating capacity of 2400 lbs (1090 kg) and tipping load of 4800
lbs (2180 kg). The lift height is 124.6 inches (3165 mm) to hinge pin, and dump
height is 100 inches (2540 mm).
