Articulated Loaders

The Gehl 340 Articulated Loader features simple-to-use controls at your finger tips. Even the most un-accustomed operator will be comfortable operating these loaders.

• Multi-function joystick lever controls the lift arm, bucket, float, travel direction, differential lock and auxiliary hydraulic functions
• Inching pedal allows operators to vary the ground speed while maintaining a fixed engine speed, to optimally run attachments while enabling precise control.
• Engine speed can be conveniently controlled two ways: (1) with the right foot throttle or (2) with the convenient hand throttle, which also allows the ground speed to be controlled independently of engine speed.
• Differential lock button on joystick increases traction for 100% effective engagement of axles.
• 2-speed hydrostatic drive can be activated “on the go” by a switch on the joystick.

Gehl Articulated Loaders are equipped with industry-proven Yanmar diesel engines.

• Powerful, quiet and efficient Interim Tier IV-certified Yanmar diesel engines with excellent performance for all applications.
• Excellent reputation for reliable cold-starting and smooth operation.

Power, performance and precision. Achieve this and more with superior hydraulics and handy time-saving features.

• Two auxiliary hydraulic lines with flat-faced couplers power a variety of tools and make attachment changes easy.
• Hydraulic hoses are nestled within the lift arms, keeping them out of the loader linkage “damage zone” during lifting and dumping operations.
• Lift arm and bucket float features allow for “floating” of the lift arm for light scraping or rear-ward leveling actions. Bucket float is a special feature that adds control and more operator flexibility for operating certain attachments with only bucket float.

The lift arm on a 340 is designed to achieve maximum strength, excellent visibility and fast cycle times.

• Parallel-type linkage provides excellent bucket breakout forces.
• Linkage becomes recessed in the lift arm at full lift heights for protection when dumping into trucks/trailers and provides excellent forward visibility.
• Linkage design allows for mechanical self-leveling action in both up and down directions.
• Nitro-steel rods on the hydraulic cylinders resist abrasion, pitting, scratching and corrosion.
• Excellent bucket dump angles at the mid- and top-ranges of the lift path as well as outstanding forward reach at mid-range.
• Adjustable down-stop positioning for low position height control.

Get into the tightest spaces with ease. The 340 Articulated Loader goes anywhere and does almost everything.

• A heavy-duty articulating joint offers 45-degree turning angles each way and provides optimal maneuverability with a tight turning radius. Articulated steering has minimal affect on turf and ground surfaces and extends the life of the tires.
• Chassis oscillates 10 degrees each way, for 20 degrees of total oscillation, to maintain traction by keeping the wheels on the ground on uneven terrain.
• The tail follows where the front leads, providing excellent maneuverability. The bucket and tires follow a constant turn radius, so the rear of the loader follows the path of the front tires.
• Narrow machine width allows access to tight, confined spaces that most skid loaders with comparable operating capacities cannot access.
• High ground clearance allows the loaders to pass over objects in the work-path with ease.

• Perform daily service checks with ease through the rear engine cover, which provides access to the engine, hydraulic reservoir filler and filter, radiator, and more.
• The tilting iso-mounted operator’s platform with gas spring lift assistance provides access to the engine fuel and oil filters, battery, and hydraulic pump.
• Hydraulic components are provided with diagnostic test ports for easy access when required.
• The control module interlock system located behind the seat on the operator’s platform has LEDs for electrical diagnostic checking.
