Gehl R165 Troubleshooting
The
Gehl R165 skid steer loader is powered by 201.5 cu.in (3.3L) Yanmar 4TNV98C-NMS2
4-cylinder vertical in-line direct injection liquid-cooled diesel engine with a
rated power of 68.4 hp (51.1 kW). The Gehl R165 is equipped with a radial-lift
boom, single or two speed hydrostatic transmission, 80K drive chains, and
10x16.5 HD standard tires. The hydraulic system has a pump with fluid flow rate
of 18.9 gpm (71.4 lpm). The hydraulic pressure is 3000 psi (207 bar). The skid
steer loader has a rated operating capacity of 1650 lbs (748 kg) and tipping
load of 3275 lbs (1486 kg). The lift height is 119" (3025 mm) to hinge pin, and
dump height is 93.7" (2380 mm).
