Gehl 3640E Troubleshooting
The
Gehl 3640E skid steer loader is powered by Yanmar 3TNV88-BKMS 4-cycle vertical
3-cylinder direct injection liquid-cooled diesel engine with a rated power of 35
hp (26 kW) at 2600 rpm. The Gehl 3640E is equipped with a radial-lift loader
boom, single-speed hydrostatic transmission, 80K drive chains, and 27x8.5x15
standard tires. The hydraulic system has a pump with fluid flow rate of 14.5 gpm
(55 lpm). The hydraulic pressure is 2750 psi (190 bar). The skid steer has a
rated operating capacity of 1050 lbs (476 kg) and tipping load of 2100 lbs (953
kg). The lift height is 108 inches (2745 mm) to hinge pin, and dump height is
84.5 inches (2145 mm).
