rated power of 44 hp (32.8 kW), and 1-speed hydrostatic transmission. The
hydraulic system has a pump with a rated capacity of 19 gal/min (72 l/min). The
system pressure is 2750 psi (190 bar). The Gehl 4635 SX is equipped with a
radial-lift loader boom, 80E drive chains, and 7.00x15 standard tires. The skid
steer loader has a max lift height of 115" (2920 mm) to hinge pin and dump
height of 87.2" (2215 mm). The rated operating capacity is 1425 lbs (646 kg),
and tipping load is 2850 lbs (1292 kg).
