1994-2023 GEHL 540 WHEEL LOADER

The Gehl 540 is a compact articulated wheel loader engineered for efficiency and maneuverability, featuring a 47 hp (35 kW) 4-cylinder Yanmar 4TNV88 diesel engine with a displacement of 133.6 cu in. It delivers power at 2800 rpm and supports up to 12.4 mph (20 kph) in both forward and reverse speeds through a two-speed hydrostatic transmission. The loader's hydraulic system operates at a relief valve setting of 5940 psi, providing a pump flow capacity of 31 gal/min (117 l/min) to facilitate smooth attachment performance. Equipped with a 5 ft (1.5 m) wide bucket, the Gehl 540 offers a dump clearance of 7.6 ft (2.3 m) at max raise and a maximum hinge pin height of 10.1 ft (3 m), optimizing load handling and placement. The machine measures approximately 14.8 ft (4.5 m) in total length with the bucket on the ground, 7.6 ft (2.3 m) in height to the top of the cab, and 4.6 ft (1.4 m) wide over the tires. Its ground clearance is 0.9 ft (0.27 m), and it features a 5.8 ft (1.77 m) wheelbase with a tight turning radius of 10.6 ft (3.2 m), ideal for confined job sites. With an operating weight of about 7,610 lbs (3,452 kg) and a fuel tank capacity of 18 gallons (68 liters), this loader is designed for continuous operation. Additional features include a hydraulically actuated oscillating chassis for traction on uneven terrain and multi-function joystick controls that manage the lift arm, bucket, differential lock, and auxiliary hydraulics, enhancing operator control and versatility across tasks. Tire size is 33x15.5-16.5, balancing traction and ground protection on various surfaces.
