New Articulated Loaders from Gehl
Gehl has introduced two all-new articulated loaders, the 650 and 750, expanding into the 60- to 80-hp. class, offering larger engines and higher horsepower. Both models offer high breakout forces and articulation angles up to 45 degrees for job site maneuverability.
Both models have Tier IV-certified engine emissions technology, with a Yanmar 64.4 hp
(48 kW) engine on the 650 and a Deutz 74.3 hp (55 kW) engine powering the 750. The Yanmar engine uses a diesel particulate filter after-treating system, while the Deutz uses a diesel oxidation catalyst after treatment system, which allows users to choose their preferred emissions system.
They are the largest wheel loaders in the Gehl product offering and include standard
convenience features such as a digital instrumentation display, Power-A-Tach Attachment
Mounting System and a multi-function joystick. Digging and scraping performance is maximized through some of the highest breakout forces in their respective classes and front and rear locking differentials.
A heavy-duty, oscillating articulation joint offers 45-degree turning angles to the left and right and 10 degrees of oscillation in both directions for optimal traction and maneuverability. The bucket and tires follow a constant turning radius, so the rear tires of the loader follow the path of the front tires. Narrow machine widths allow access to tight, confined spaces that most skid steer loaders with comparable operating capacities cannot access. The “Z” bar-type linkage allows for mechanical self-leveling action in both the up and down directions, excellent bucket dump angles at the mid- and top-ranges of the lift path and mechanical return-to-dig.
Proportional auxiliary hydraulics are standard equipment and are used with a roller switch on the joystick. Detent and pressure relief are included to optimize attachment hook-up and performance. Two easily accessible auxiliary hydraulic lines with flat-face couplers power a variety of tools and make attachment changes easy. Additionally, the 650 and 750 are available with an industry-leading three auxiliary circuit option to the front and rear, including high-flow.
