• 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.

GEHL AL550 articulated loaders are equipped with industry-proven Deutz diesel engines.

• Powerful, quiet and efficient Deutz diesel engines with excellent performance for all applications.

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.

• The Float feature allows for "floating" of the lift arm for light scraping or rear-ward leveling actions.

The lift arm on the AL550 is designed to achieve maximum strength, excellent visibility and fast cycle times.

• The Z-bar 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.

• Excellent bucket dump angles at the mid- and top-ranges of the lift path as well as outstanding forward reach at mid-range.
