Historically, this era often used engines from manufacturers like Cummins, IH (International Harvester), or Perkins. The 480C typically featured a naturally aspirated diesel engine. Performance Horsepower Range: Typically in the 50-60 HP range for this size class of tractor loader backhoe from the late 1970s. Torque Characteristics: Designed for robust low-end torque for digging and lifting operations. Fuel System Fuel Type: Diesel Fuel Delivery: Typically mechanical injection, possibly with indirect injection (IDI) pre-combustion chambers common in that era. 🔧 Transmission Standard Transmission Type: Likely a manual transmission with a torque converter or a powershift transmission (e.g., a 4-speed or 8-speed transmission with synchromesh). Optional Optional Transmission: Powershift transmissions were often an option for increased operational efficiency. Features Gear Selection: Multiple forward and reverse gears optimized for loader and backhoe work. 📐 Dimensions Exterior Overall Length: Varies with backhoe attachment, but typically around 6-7 meters (20-23 feet) with backhoe deployed. Overall Width: Approximately 1.8-2.2 meters (6-7 feet) depending on tire configuration and loader bucket. Overall Height: Approximately 2.5-2.8 meters (8-9 feet) to the top of the ROPS (Roll Over Protective Structure) if equipped, or operator station. Weights Operating Weight: Typically in the range of 5,000-7,000 kg (11,000-15,500 lbs) depending on configuration (loader, backhoe, optional weights). Backhoe Digging Depth: Around 4-4.5 meters (13-15 feet). Loader Lift Capacity: Approximately 1,000-1,500 kg (2,200-3,300 lbs) at max height. 🛡️ Safety Features Ratings Rollover Protection: ROPS (Roll Over Protective Structure) and potentially FOPS (Falling Object Protective Structure) would have been available, often as optional equipment depending on regulatory requirements and market. Active Features Brake System: Typically mechanical or hydraulic drum brakes or enclosed wet disc brakes for durability and performance. Passive Features Operator Station: Designed with operator visibility and control in mind, though safety standards of the era were less stringent than modern equipment. 💡 Technology Features Infotainment Infotainment System: N/A - This era of heavy equipment did not feature modern infotainment systems.
