Gehl 4635 Troubleshooting
The
Gehl 4635 skid steer loader is powered by 133 cu.in (2.2L) Deutz F3M1011F
vertical inline 3-cylinder direct injection liquid-cooled diesel engine with a
rated power of 44 hp (32.8 kW) at 2600 rpm. The Gehl 4635 is equipped with a
radial-lift loader boom, one-speed hydrostatic transmission, 80E drive chains,
and 7.00x15 or 10.00x16.5 tires. The hydraulic system has a pump with fluid flow
rate of 19 gpm (72 lpm). The hydraulic pressure is 2750 psi (190 bar). The skid
steer has a rated operating capacity of 1425 lbs (646 kg) and tipping
load of 2850 lbs (1292 kg). The lift height is 115 inches (2920 mm) to hinge
pin, and dump height is 87.2 inches (2215 mm).
