The
Gehl 6635SXT skid steer loader is powered by 187 cu.in (2.9L) Deutz BF4M1011F
four-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine with a rated power of 75 hp (56 kW) at
2500 rpm. The Gehl 6635 SXT is equipped with a single-speed or two-speed
hydrostatic transmission, radial-lift loader boom, 100H roller chains, and
12x16.5 or 33-15.5x16.5 tires. The hydraulic system has a pump with fluid flow
rate of 23 gpm (87.1 lpm). The hydraulic pressure is 3000 psi (207 bar). The
skid steer loader has a rated operating capacity of 2350 lbs (1065 kg) and
tipping load of 4700 lbs (2130 kg). The max lift height is 122.7" (3120 mm) to
hinge pin, and dump height is 93.7" (2380 mm).
