New Holland LS185B Troubleshooting
The
New Holland LS185B skid steer loader is powered by 205 cu.in (3.4L) New Holland
334TM2 3-cylinder turbocharged liquid-cooled diesel engine with a rated power of
72 hp (54 kW) at 2300 rpm. The New Holland LS185B is equipped with a radial-lift
loader boom, one-speed or two-speed hydrostatic transmission, 100 HV drive
chains, and 12x16.5 standard tires. The hydraulic system has a pump with fluid
flow rate of 19.3 gpm (73.1 lpm) or 34.7 gpm (131.5 lpm). The skid steer loader
has a rated operating capacity of 2500 lbs (1134 kg) and tipping load of 5000
lbs (2270 kg). The lift height is 124.6 inches (3165 mm) to hinge pin, and dump
height is 100 inches (2540 mm).
