With a 54-hp engine, the SK815-5 has a 5,785 pound operating weight with a 1,550 pound operating capacity. Other features include an auxiliary hydraulic circuit with a maximum flow of 16.1 gpm, with the option of a “Super Flow” auxiliary hydraulic circuit at a maximum flow at 26 gpm. This skid steer offers a standard, two-speed, shift-on-the-go transmission with a working speed of 6.5 mph and a travel speed of 10 mph.
