Gehl 4635 SXT Troubleshooting
The
Gehl 4635 SXT skid steer loader is powered by 133 cu.in (2.2L) Deutz BF3M1011F
three-cylinder vertical direct injection turbocharged liquid-cooled diesel engine with a
rated power of 57 hp (42.5 kW) at 2500 rpm. The Gehl 4635SXT is equipped with a
radial-lift loader boom, single-speed hydrostatic transmission, 80E drive
chains, and 7.00x15 standard tires. The hydraulic system has a pump with fluid
flow rate of 19 gpm (72 lpm). The skid steer loader 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).
