Top 100: All-Wheel-Steering Allows Tight Turning Radius

Sept. 28, 2010

Gehl's 80 Series compact wheel loaders have all-wheel-steer, giving them a tight turning radius and allowing the machines to maintain the same tipping capacity whether transporting at full-turn or in a straight line, the company says. Four models have ranges of 7,055- to 12,015-pound operating weights and 38 to 76 horsepower. EcoSpeed transmission has ride control and enables loaders to travel up to 25 mph. The new series was totally redesigned with more modern looks and improved visibility. Estimated list price: $50,000 to $81,000.
