The Gehl 803 excavator is a compact, versatile machine designed for precision and power in various excavation tasks. Powered by a Yanmar 4TNV98-VNS Tier II water-cooled, 4-cylinder diesel engine, it delivers a gross power of 69 hp (51 kW) and a net power of 57 hp (43 kW) at 2100 rpm. It operates on a 12-volt system with an 88-amp alternator and has a fuel capacity of 24.6 gallons, supporting extended job site use. The hydraulic system features a 63 gpm pump flow capacity and operates under a relief valve pressure of 4351 psi, using 26.2 gallons of hydraulic fluid, providing smooth and responsive control. The excavator’s operating weight stands at 17,548 lbs, with a ground pressure of 5.1 psi ensuring stability and minimal soil impact. Its rubber tracks measure 17.8 inches wide, supported by five track rollers per side, enabling a maximum travel speed of 3.2 mph. The compact dimensions include a ground clearance of 1 ft, a cab height of 8.9 ft, and a tail swing radius of 5.1 ft, allowing operation in confined spaces. Two boom/stick option configurations are available: Option 1 offers a max cutting height of 23 ft, max digging depth of 14.1 ft, and max reach along the ground of 23.6 ft; Option 2 extends these parameters slightly, with a 23.6 ft max cutting height, 15.1 ft digging depth, and 24.5 ft max reach. The maximum vertical wall digging depths are 12.1 ft and 13.1 ft, respectively. The bucket capacities range from 0.2 to 0.5 cubic yards, with a reference size of 0.3 cubic yards. The swing speed is 9.2 rpm, contributing to efficient operation in a broad range of excavation scenarios. This robust and compact excavator suits diverse construction and earthmoving applications.
