The R190 has an operating weight of 6,880 lbs, which is 1.8% lighter than the average compact skid steer loader. With a net power output of 68 HP, it is just as powerful as a typical competing model in its class. It can lift up to 1,900 lbs. It travels at speeds up to 7.5 mph.

Application:  A skid-steer loader can sometimes be used in place of a large excavator by digging a hole from the inside. The skid loader first digs a ramp leading to the edge of the desired excavation. It then uses the ramp to carry material out of the hole. The skid loader reshapes the ramp making it steeper and longer as the excavation deepens. This method is particularly useful for digging under a structure where overhead clearance does not allow for the boom of a large excavator, such as digging a basement under an existing house. Also a great way to move large stones or rocks.
