GEHL AWS680 WHEEL LOADER

Technical Description

The Gehl AWS680 is a versatile wheel loader powered by a 4-cylinder BF4M 2011 engine delivering 75 hp (56 kW) at 2300 rpm and 199 lb-ft torque at 1600 rpm. It has a displacement of 190 cubic inches and operates on a 12 V electrical system supported by a 95-amp alternator. The loader features a bucket with a 2.4 cubic yard capacity and a breakout force of 9,217 lbs (4,181 kg), suitable for heavy-duty material handling. The bucket reaches a maximum hinge pin height of 11.2 ft (3.4 m), with a dump clearance of 8.8 ft (2.7 m) and a reach of 2 ft (0.6 m) at max lift and dump, optimizing loading efficiency. The machine’s dimensions support robust performance: 18.4 ft (5.6 m) in length with the bucket on the ground, 6.1 ft (1.85 m) width over tires, 6.8 ft (2.07 m) wheelbase, and a height to the top of the cab of 8.9 ft (2.7 m). Ground clearance is 1.1 ft (0.34 m), while the rear axle allows 18° oscillation for better traction over uneven terrain. Operating weight stands at 12,015 lbs (5,450 kg) with a static tipping load of 8,730 lbs (3,960 kg). Its hydraulic system employs a gear pump delivering 18.5 gallons per minute (70 liters/min) with a relief valve setting of 3,400 psi, holding 22.5 gallons (83 liters) of hydraulic fluid. Fuel capacity is 21.2 gallons (80 liters). The transmission allows a forward top speed of 12.4 mph (20 kph) with a turning radius of 13.1 ft (4 m), providing maneuverability and operational efficiency suitable for a variety of construction and agricultural tasks.
