Gehl Unleashes Beast-Mode Skid Steers and CTLs

Gehl has rolled out a completely reimagined generation of skid steers and compact track loaders, unveiling five new machines designed to push the limits of performance, comfort and durability.

Manufactured at the company’s facility in Madison, South Dakota, the new line-up comprises three skid steer models – the V325, V335 and V360 – and two compact track loaders, the VT335 and VT360. The launch runs in tandem with sister-brand Manitou’s latest developments, signalling a coordinated drive to raise the bar in compact equipment engineering.

According to Gehl, the machines “retain Gehl hallmarks like the IdealTrax automatic track-tensioning system, now adjustable from the in-cab monitor, and the fold-up IdealAccess doors,” combining trusted reliability with new-generation innovation. 

The new loaders have vertical-lift arms for better stability and easier truck loading. They lift 3,250–3,600 lbs, or up to 3,800 lbs with a counterweight. The cast-link arm improves visibility and prevents debris, while protected hydraulics and greasable pins simplify maintenance.

Standard hydraulics pump 25 gallons per minute at 3,450 psi, with a high-flow option of 40 gallons per minute and a high-power package for tougher attachments.

Breakout forces impress too – bucket breakout is rated at 10,624 pounds, while lift-arm forces range between 7,041 and 7,116 pounds. All models boast a hinge pin height of 11 feet 4 inches, enhancing versatility in high-load applications.

Inside the cab, comfort and usability take centre stage. The redesigned operator station is 23% larger than before, featuring a 7-inch colour display, back-lit keypad built into the armrest, adjustable workstation, and removable footrest.

Gehl’s Hydraglide boom suspension system comes as standard across all models, providing a smoother ride over rough terrain.

For precision work, the loaders include a smart throttle that adjusts engine speed automatically, and a creep mode that allows separate control of ground speed and throttle input.

Gehl has also introduced a forestry-site preparation package for the CTL variants, offering impact-resistant doors and glass, a reinforced rear cage, an integrated winch and additional rear weight.

With upgraded undercarriages, sloped roofs fitted with skylights, and optional Level 2 FOPS protection, Gehl’s latest loaders look ready to meet the toughest site demands — combining power, durability and modern comfort in one robust package.
