<\/i><\/i><\/span>Is a Petrol or Diesel engine best for mini skid steer loaders?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n

Diesel Engines generally cost more upfront. However they should have a longer life and are guarded as being more industriously strong. Diesel engines generally have more torque and will not lug down and stall as easily a petrol engine. Therefore, they are well suited to driving auxiliary components like alternators, compressors, and hydraulic pumps. Diesel Engines used in Taskmaster Mini Loaders have a water-cooled engine and water-cooled hydraulic oil for the best efficiency. It\u2019s probably fair to say diesel is a safer fuel than petrol simply due to the fact petrol is way more volatile in terms of explosion and fumes created. It is for this reason that large construction and mine sites have restrictions on use of petrol.<\/p>\n

Petrol engines are often Air-Cooled and therefore do not have a Radiator. Instead, most rely on cooling fans or fins on the engine. Our Petrol machines have a Large Fan to cool the Hydraulic Oil Cooler and Engine.<\/p>\n

The biggest killer of engines is contamination from a blocked or leaking air cleaner, or foreign particles in the oil. With all engines, regular servicing is a must particularly in harsh conditions.<\/p>\n

At the end of the day both will do the job but there are clear advantages and disadvantages of both Engines.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
