Gehl 4835 SXT Troubleshooting
The
Gehl SL 4835 SXT skid steer loader is powered by 133 cu.in (2.18L) Deutz
BF3M1011F three-cylinder direct injection turbocharged diesel engine with a
rated power of 57 hp (42.5 kW) at 2500 rpm. The Gehl 4835SXT is equipped with a
radial-lift boom, single-speed hydrostatic transmission, 80E drive chains, and
10x16.5 or 12x16.5 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
loader has a rated operating capacity of 1625 lbs (737 kg) and tipping load of
3250 lbs (1475 kg). The lift height is 115 inches (2920 mm) to hinge pin, and
dump height is 87.2 inches (2215 mm).
