Gehl 4510 Troubleshooting
The
Gehl SL 4510 skid steer loader is powered by 98 cubic inches (1.6L) Ford KSG-416
4-cycle 4-cylinder gasoline engine with a rated power of 40 hp (29.8 kW) at 3000
rpm. The Gehl SL 4510 is equipped with a radial-lift loader boom, single-speed
hydrostatic transmission, 80H drive chains, and 7.00x15 or 10.00x16.5 tires. The
hydraulic system has a pump with fluid flow rate of 16 gpm (60.6 lpm). The
hydraulic pressure is 2800 psi (193 bar). The skid steer loader has a rated
operating capacity of 3000 lbs (1362 kg) and tipping load of 6000 lbs (2724 kg).
The lift height is 114.5 inches (2910 mm) to hinge pin, and dump reach at max
height is 18 inches (455 mm).
