New Holland LX465 Troubleshooting

The New Holland LX465 skid steer loader is powered by 91.3 cu.in (1.5L) Shibaura N843 3-cylinder indirect injection water-cooled diesel engine with a rated power of 30 hp (22.2 kW) at 2900 rpm. The New Holland LX465 is equipped with a radial-lift loader boom, single-speed hydrostatic transmission, ASA 80 drive chains, and 10x16.5 standard tires. The hydraulic system has a pump with fluid flow rate of 10.6 gpm (40.1 lpm). The hydraulic pressure is 2600 psi (176 bar). The skid steer loader has a rated operating capacity of 1250 lbs (570 kg) and tipping load of 2500 lbs (1140 kg). The lift height is 111" (2825 mm) to hinge pin, and dump height is 87.9" (2230 mm).
