Powered by a turbocharged 6-cylinder diesel engine producing 110 net horsepower (82 kW) at 2200 rpm and 342 lb-ft of torque at 1300 rpm, the machine delivers reliable performance across demanding jobsites. Its 414 cubic-inch displacement engine is paired with a 4-speed power shift planetary transmission, enabling forward speeds up to 27.9 mph and reverse speeds to 9.9 mph with a 14.6-foot turning radius. The loader features a general-purpose bucket with 2 cubic-yard capacity and exceptional breakout force of 20,520 pounds, allowing maximum lift capacity of 25,130 pounds at ground level. Hydraulic performance is impressive, with a gear-type pump delivering 45.8 gallons per minute at 2625 psi relief pressure, enabling rapid cycle times: 6.1 seconds to raise, 1.8 seconds to dump, and 4 seconds to lower. The machine reaches a maximum lift height of 12 feet and dump clearance of 9.5 feet. Dimensionally, the 544C measures 20.3 feet in overall length with the bucket on ground, 7.3 feet in width over tires, and operates at a weight of 22,620 pounds. Standard features include four-wheel drive, engine-driven hydraulic steering and braking systems, and operator-focused visibility from the elevated cab positioned 10.1 feet above ground. The loader accommodates optional attachments including backhoes and multipurpose buckets, making it versatile for construction, landscaping, and material handling applications.
