Gehl R260 Troubleshooting
The
Gehl R260 skid steer loader driveline system components: Yanmar 4TNV98CT-NMS
4-cylinder turbocharged liquid-cooled diesel engine with a rated power of 70.7
hp (52.7 kW), and 1-speed or 2-speed hydrostatic transmission. The hydraulic
system has a pump with a rated capacity of 23.5 gal/min (89.6 l/min) or 35
gal/min (132.6 l/min). The Gehl R260 is equipped with a radial-lift loader boom,
100H drive chains, and 12x16.5 HD standard tires. The skid steer loader has a
maximum lift height of 123" (3125 mm) to hinge pin and dump height of 94" (2390
mm). The rated operating capacity is 2600 lbs (1180 kg), and tipping load is
5200 lbs (2360 kg).
