Abstract: A skid steer machine includes an operator cage supported on a skid steer machine frame, a pair of lift arms pivotably attached to the skid steer machine frame behind the operator cage and extending longitudinally on both sides of the operator cage, and a rear mounted engine compartment supported on the skid steer machine frame. The rear mounted engine compartment includes an internal combustion engine, a diesel particulate filter fluidly connected to the internal combustion engine and positioned between the internal combustion engine and the operator cage, and a cooling package having a predominantly horizontal orientation. The cooling package is at a higher location within the rear mounted engine compartment than the diesel particulate filter.

Abstract: A skid steer type machine is equipped with an overheat protection algorithm that keeps the machine productive even when the hydraulic system is in an overheated condition. When an elevated hydraulic fluid temperature is detected, an electronic controller derates a pump of the hydraulic system to limit pump output to a reduced flow rate down from a rated flow rate. The hydraulic fluid tends to cool down when the pump is derated, but the machine remains productive while the hydraulic system is cooling down.

Abstract: A skid steer machine includes an operator cage supported on a skid steer machine frame. A pair of lift arms are pivotably attached to the skid steer machine frame behind the operator cage and extend longitudinally on both sides of the operator cage. A cooling package includes a first heat exchanger and a second heat exchanger, and a blower fan configured to blow air in parallel through the first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger. The cooling package is pivotably mounted to the skid steer machine frame using at least one pivotable mounting assembly and is pivotable between an operational position and a maintenance position. At least one non-metallic vibration isolator is positioned between the cooling package and the skid steer machine frame.
