Gehl 3510 Troubleshooting
The
Gehl 3510 skid steer loader driveline system components: a 67 cu.in (1.1L) Ford
VSG-411 vertical in-line 4-cylinder gasoline engine with a rated power of 27 hp
(20.2 kW), and single-speed hydrostatic transmission. The hydraulic system has a
pump with a rated capacity of 11 gal/min (42 l/min). The system relief pressure
is 2200 psi (152 bar). The Gehl 3510 is equipped with a radial-lift loader boom,
60H drive chains, and 5.70x15 or 27x8.50x15 tires. The skid steer has a maximum
lift height of 102" (2590 mm) to hinge pin and dump reach at max height of 15.5"
(395 mm). The rated operating capacity is 850 lbs (384 kg), and tipping load is
1700 lbs (770 kg).
