GEHL‘s five new models of skid steers and compact track loaders on the North American market range in operating capacity from 3,250 pounds to 3,600 pounds, with all-new critical operating metrics including rated operating capacity, breakout force, hydraulic horsepower, auxiliary hydraulics, and hinge pin height.
Each machine has undergone a major industrial redesign that matches practical functionality with a modern look that emphasizes size, strength, and power while also highlighting the history of the GEHL brand serving the construction, agricultural, and landscaping industries in North America for more than 160 years.
The five new models are:
The V325 skid steer: 72 Horsepower, 3,250 pounds rated operating capacity
The V335 skid steer: 100 Horsepower, 3,350 pounds rated operating capacity
The V360 skid steer: 114 Horsepower, 3,600 pounds rated operating capacity
The VT335 CTL: 100 Horsepower, 3,350 pounds rated operating capacity
The VT360 CTL: 114 Horsepower, 3,600 pounds rated operating capacity
Each machine is also features bucket breakout force (10,624 pounds), lift arm breakout force (7,041 – 7,116 pounds), hinge pin height (up to 136 inches), and auxiliary hydraulic performance (both in standard and high-flow, gallons per minute (GPM) and pressure. The new lineup is built with vertical lift arms for optimal truck loading and stable material handling, while strong cast link construction supports ground-engaging performance and steady attachment handling. And rated operating capacity reaches as high as 3,800 pounds with optional side counterweights that both add strength and stability while protecting the rear of the machine.
“These new machines are second to no other make or model of skids and CTLs in the industry in terms of comprehensive performance, effectiveness, style, and safety,” says Nathan Ryan, global product manager — skid steers and CTLs, GEHL. “They are built big, strong, simple, and easy to maintain to uphold the demands of the job site: uptime, performance, utilization, and efficiency.”
“The frame, structure, and strength of these machines allow for confident lifting, carrying, and placing of heavy loads,” says Ryan. “Match that with the comprehensive hydraulic performance of the machine, from movement and power to attachment operation, and you have an extremely effective and satisfying-to-operate machine.”
