    "Gehl Wars" Articulating Loaders

    All the Gehl's are available with a folding 2 post ROPS or a 4 post canopy. The 340 and 540's can also come with a cab. Last I knew, they were still working on adding AC to them.

    "Gehl Wars" Articulating Loaders

    That's a bit over simplified. Distances from the front tire matter significantly, 6-700 lbs on firm level or up hill terrain is about it.

    On the vast majority of my jobs the articulated loaders kick the mini's butt. Rutting is one form of turf damage caused by soil compaction or displacement. On pneumatic tires, that is a function of psi and tread design. Machine weight has an exceedingly minimal effect on it. I'm planning...

    "Gehl Wars" Articulating Loaders

    Wouldn't a push blade get in the way of the loader? Think of the articulated loaders like a skid steer with better turning and frame occilaton.
