Gehl R135 Troubleshooting
The
Gehl R135 skid steer loader is powered by 133.6 cu.in (2.2L) Yanmar 4TNV88C-KMS
vertical 4-cylinder direct injection water-cooled diesel
engine with a rated power of 44.5 hp (33 kW). The Gehl R135 is
equipped with a radial-lift boom, single-speed hydrostatic transmission,
80H drive chains, and 10x16.5 HD standard tires. The hydraulic system has a pump
with fluid flow rate of 17 gpm (64.4 lpm). The hydraulic pressure is 3000 psi
(207 bar). The skid steer loader has a rated operating capacity of 1350 lbs (612
kg) and tipping load of 2700 lbs (1225 kg). The lift height is 109.6 inches
(2785 mm) to hinge pin, and dump height is 82.6 inches (2100 mm).
