New Holland LX865 Troubleshooting

The New Holland LX865 skid steer loader is powered by 192 cu.in (3.2L) New Holland 332T 3-cylinder turbocharged water-cooled diesel engine with a rated power of 60 hp (44.5 kW) at 2100 rpm. The New Holland LX865 is equipped with a radial-lift loader boom, 1-speed hydrostatic transmission, ASA 100 drive chains, and 12x16.5 or 8.25x15 tires. The hydraulic system has a pump with fluid flow rate of 17.6 gpm (66.7 lpm) or 31 gpm (117.5 lpm). The skid steer loader has a rated operating capacity of 2200 lbs (998 kg) and tipping load of 4400 lbs (2000 kg). The lift height is 125.4 inches (3185 mm) to hinge pin, and dump height is 100.5 inches (2555 mm).
