Turbo Power / High Speed Driving Performance

The Latest development of liquid-cooled, direct injected Diesel engines feature a power output between 46 HP and 82 HP.  This new generation of engines offer an automatic engine shutdown system to prevent engine damage from high oil temperature or low oil pressure.  Furthermore, the lower fuel consumption is unmateched.

Starting with the SL 4640E, a two-speed drive option is available, which enables for a maximum top speed of 18,0km/h.

The button for this two speed drive gear is integrated in the left hand drive control of the new control handles.  With the help of the “Soft-Shift-System” down-shifting from high to low speed is made smooth and easy.

T-bar / Joystick Controls
Starting with the SL 4640E GEHL offers for the first time the all new T-Bar/Joystick controls.  This is a new alternative control option that gives an operator the full single hand.  T-bar control for all drive movements and single joystick control for lift and tilt functions of the loader.
Gehl engineering has combined the proven advantages of its unique T-bar drive control along with a modern joystick for easy loading operations.  Operators confirm: This combination is the best of both worlds.

GEHL Hydraglide™
A feature recommended for the 2-speed option is the unique GEHL Hydraglide™ system, which provides for enhanced driving comfort.  On this option a nitrogen accumulator in the cylinders dampens oscillations in the lifting booms. And impact between chassis and lifting boom are dampened which prevents possible build-up of such oscillations.  Hydraglide comes as standard on all T-bar / Joystick models.

Superior Performance and Reliability
Besides all mentioned advantages the GEHL 40 series come with some extraordinary technical details:

Air Conditioning
Starting with the SL 5240E, an ex works installed air condition system is available as an option.  The A/C system has been designed to fit the engine hood cover to make sure overall dimensions of the loaders stay as compact as possible.

Designed for Service Efficiency
The arrangement of the individual components facilitates east service and maintenance work. This general feature plus the tiltable operator’s cabin provide quick access to these components for daily inspection and service.  Removable bottom access plates ensure an easy clean out.

Optional Control Systems

Dual Joystick Controls
The dual joystick provide operators with virtually everything “at their fingertips” for precise operation.  Using it in conjunction with the standard foot throttle makes operating the loader more efficient – the foot pedal allows to run the engine at a slower speed to save fuel, reduce speed and noise and it allows to increase engine speed when more power or speed is required.

Hand/Foot controls
This control option features new angle handle controls to include a rocker switch on the right handle for activating the aux.hydr.control.  The handles control all loader movements.  The foot pedals control all lift arm and bucket movements.

Power A-Tach™
In addition to the well-established GEHL ALL-TACH™ mounting plate which is compatible with most allied attachments on the market, the 40 series has an optional switch on the left control panel which allows the electric controlled locking of the attachment to be engaged or disengaged without even leaving the seat.
