The advanced hydrostatic drive system is proven to be both fuel efficient and long lasting. Additional advantages include up to 25% less tire wear and virtually no brake wear. The L 586 features a Tier III-compliant Liebherr diesel engine, producing 340 hp at 1,800 rpm. The significant reduction in horsepower requirement is due to the advanced hydrostatic drive system, and the L 586 does not sacrifice power or production capabilities.
