Gehl R105 Troubleshooting
The
Gehl R105 skid steer loader is powered by 100.2 cu.in (1.6L) Yanmar 3TNV88C
three-cylinder direct injection liquid-cooled diesel engine with a rated power
of 34.7 hp (25.5 kW) at 2800 rpm. The Gehl R105 is equipped with a single-speed
hydrostatic transmission, radial-lift loader boom, 80H roller chains, and
27-8.5x15 tires. The hydraulic system has a pump with fluid flow rate of 14.5
gpm (55 lpm). The hydraulic pressure is 2750 psi (190 bar). The skid steer
loader has a rated operating capacity of 1050 lbs (475 kg) and tipping load of
2100 lbs (950 kg). The lift height is 107.5 inches (2730 mm) to hinge pin, and
dump height is 82 inches (2085 mm).
