Gehl V330 Troubleshooting
The
Gehl V330 skid steer loader is powered by 202.6 cu.in (3.32L) Yanmar 4TNV98T
4-cylinder vertical in-line direct injection turbocharged liquid-cooled diesel
engine with a rated power of 70.7 hp (52.7 kW) at 2500 rpm. The Gehl V330 is
equipped with a vertical-lift loader boom, two-speed hydrostatic transmission,
100H drive chains, and 14x17.5 standard tires. The hydraulic system has a pump
with fluid flow rate of 21.8 gpm (82.3 lpm) or 36.3 gpm (137.4 lpm). The skid
steer loader has a rated operating capacity of 3300 lbs (1497 kg) and tipping
load of 6600 lbs (2995 kg). The lift height is 131.2" (3330 mm) to hinge pin,
and dump height is 99" (2515 mm).
