AND FRONT AXLES
A heavy duty machine needs a transmission and axels
to match. That’s why Gehl backhoe loaders use a 4
speed synchro-shuttle transmission with a modulated
clutch pack which delivers excellent traction and
smooth forward & reverse shifting during loading and
dozing operation. When combined with a front axle
that allows for 16 degrees of oscillation and sealed
king pins, you have a highly durable machine that
delivers lower maintenance costs.

● BETTER BUCKETS MEAN

GREATER PERFORMANCE
The loader & backhoe buckets offered on our machines are specifically
designed to deliver durability and productivity. Backhoe buckets have a
maximum rotation of 194 degrees that allow operators to pick up more
material with less spillage. Our self-leveling loader buckets improve
4 stability, lessen spillage and come in range of sizes including the popular
7-in-1 bucket that allows you to tackle a wide range of jobsite tasks.
