The excavator is equipped with a powerful 88 hp (66 kW) turbocharged and air-to-air charge air cooled engine (model CC-4BG1TC), delivering 253 lb-ft of torque at 1600 rpm. The hydraulic system features a 55.5 gpm pump flow and a relief valve pressure of 4980 psi, ensuring strong digging force and responsive operation. The bucket capacity ranges from 0.5 to 1.6 cu yd, with a reference capacity of 0.9 cu yd.
