Operator's Cabin
|
Operators world-wide will find state-of-the-art ergonomics, unsurpassed visibility and ease of operation.
-
Steering column with center-mount instrumentation for easy operator reference.
-
The standard suspension seat is spring-suspended with a high amount of travel providing a comfortable ride for the operator.
-
Excellent 360-degree visibility is achieved by positioning the operator above instead of behind the load for safe operation and excellent view of the attachment.
-
All models feature comfortable and easy-to-access grab handles to assist entry and exit.

Controls
|
The Gehl 140 Articulated Loader features simple-to-use controls at your finger tips. Even the most un-accustomed operator will be comfortable operating these loaders.
-
Multi-function joystick lever controls the lift arm, bucket, float, travel direction, differential lock and auxiliary hydraulic functions
-
Inching pedal allows operators to vary the ground speed while maintaining a fixed engine speed, to optimally run attachments while enabling precise control.
-
Automatic limited slip feature
-
Engine speed can be conveniently controlled with the right foot throttle.
-
Optional speed control adds ability to tailor machine operating speeds to application, independent of engine rotation.

Engine
|
The Gehl 140 Articulated Loader is equipped with a industry-proven Yanmar diesel engine.
-
Powerful, quiet and efficient Interim Tier IV-certified Yanmar diesel engines with excellent performance for all applications.
-
Excellent reputation for reliable cold-starting and smooth operation.
|
|
Hydraulics
|
Power, performance and precision. Achieve this and more with superior hydraulics and handy time-saving features.
-
Two auxiliary hydraulic lines with flat-faced couplers power a variety of tools and make attachment changes easy.
-
Hydraulic hoses are nestled within the lift arms, keeping them out of the loader linkage “damage zone” during lifting and dumping operations.
-
Lift arm and bucket float features allow for “floating” of the lift arm for light scraping or rear-ward leveling actions. Bucket float is a special feature that adds control and more operator flexibility for operating certain attachments with only bucket float.

Lift Arm
|
The lift arm on the 140 is designed to achieve maximum strength, excellent visibility and fast cycle times.
-
Parallel-type linkage provides excellent bucket breakout forces.
-
Linkage becomes recessed in the lift arm at full lift heights for protection when dumping into trucks/trailers and provides excellent forward visibility.
-
Linkage design allows for mechanical self-leveling action in both up and down directions.
-
Nitro-steel rods on the hydraulic cylinders resist abrasion, pitting, scratching and corrosion.
-
Excellent bucket dump angles at the mid- and top-ranges of the lift path as well as outstanding forward reach at mid-range.
-
Adjustable down-stop positioning for low position height control.

|
Maneuverability
|
Get into the tightest spaces with ease. The 140 goes anywhere and does almost everything.
-
A heavy-duty articulating joint offers 45-degree turning angles each way and provides optimal maneuverability with a tight turning radius. Articulated steering has minimal affect on turf and ground surfaces and extends the life of the tires.
-
Chassis oscillates 10 degrees each way, for 20 degrees of total oscillation, to maintain traction by keeping the wheels on the ground on uneven terrain.
-
The tail follows where the front leads, providing excellent maneuverability. The bucket and tires follow a constant turn radius, so the rear of the loader follows the path of the front tires.
-
Narrow machine width allows access to tight, confined spaces that most skid loaders with comparable operating capacities cannot access.
-
High ground clearance allows the loaders to pass over objects in the work-path with ease.
|
|
Serviceability
|
Reduced downtime is made possible by intelligent engineering and advanced design.
-
Perform daily service checks with ease through the rear engine cover, which provides access to the engine, hydraulic reservoir filler and filter, radiator, and more.
-
The tilting iso-mounted operator’s platform with gas spring lift assistance provides access to the engine fuel and oil filters, battery, and hydraulic pump.
-
Hydraulic components are provided with diagnostic test ports for easy access when required.
-
The control module interlock system located behind the seat on the operator’s platform has LEDs for electrical diagnostic checking.
