Gehl R150 Troubleshooting
The
Gehl R150 skid steer loader driveline system components: a 133.6 cu.in (2.2L)
Yanmar 4TNV88C-KMS 4-cycle 4-cylinder direct injection water-cooled diesel
engine with a rated power of 44.5 hp (33 kW), and 1-speed hydrostatic
transmission. The hydraulic system has a pump with a rated capacity of 17
gal/min (64.4 l/min). The system pressure is 3000 psi (207 bar). The Gehl
R150 is equipped with a radial-lift boom, 80H drive chains, and 10x16.5
HD standard tires. The skid steer loader has a max lift height of 119" (3025
mm) to hinge pin and dump height of 93.7" (2380 mm). The rated operating
capacity is 1500 lbs (680 kg), and tipping load is 3027 lbs (1383 kg).
