marketplace | by Amy Materson SIZEABLE SKID STEER Gehl is touting the vertical lift V400 skid-steer loader – also launched as the 4000V under the Mustang brand – as the largest skid steer in the world. With a 4,000-pound rated operating capacity, a 9,150-pound breakout force and a 144-inch true vertical lift height, the V400 loads high trailers and trucks. The 99-horsepower Cummins diesel engine provides 326 foot-pounds of torque, and the V400's hydraulic system features an optional high fl ow of up to 40.8 gpm. The hydraulic fan with swing- out cooler improves accessibility for maintenance while reducing noise and fuel consumption. Hydraglide ride control enables the lift arm to fl oat during load transport, resulting in improved operator comfort while minimizing material loss. A new cab has a ROPS/FOPS cab forward design for a better view of the bucket, and a side folding restraint bar has adjustable armrests. An optional pressured cab is also avail- able, offering sound reduction material and a rear mounted air fi lter that provides a clean, quiet operating environment.
