Gehl RT175–RT250 Series Common Problems This Manual Covers
Hydraulic functions slow or weak
When lift, tilt, or travel functions become slow or intermittent, it often means low fluid, a clogged filter, or a pump problem. The manual gives the high flow pressure checks, with a main relief pressure of 2975 to 3125 psi to compare against.
Manual Section: Hydraulic Pressure Tests p. 277Track tension and undercarriage wear
These loaders use auto track tension, so tension faults, worn rollers, or track wear show up as unstable track handling. The maintenance section covers the tension system, undercarriage checks, and rubber track replacement.
Manual Section: Maintenance p. 121DPF regeneration problems
A diesel particulate filter that will not complete regeneration can put the machine into a derated state. The operation section documents the DPF regeneration procedures and the conditions that trigger them.
Manual Section: Operation p. 73No start or dash fault codes
Intermittent no start and warning behavior on the multi function display usually trace to battery, wiring, sensor, or interlock faults. The troubleshooting section covers engine and indicator lamp diagnosis.
Manual Section: Troubleshooting p. 285One track slow or weak travel drive
A weak travel drive or one slow track points to a travel motor or drive circuit issue. The hydraulic equipment section covers the travel drive motors, idle and speed adjustment, and gearbox oil.
Manual Section: Hydraulic Equipment p. 265Overheating under load
Repeated temperature warnings come from a restricted cooling system, low coolant, or a worn belt. The maintenance section covers the engine cooling system, V-belt service, and the permissible limits to work to.
Manual Section: Maintenance p. 121Frequently Asked Questions
