Born to dig,

and a whole lot more.

It didn't take long to make the leap from “new kid on the block” to the recognized leader in compact excavators. But that's always been the mission for Gehl, now offering the most complete line of compact excavators in the business. More models. More choices. More performance. More value. There's a unit for any application, any jobsite. Take a look. It's here.

Gehl Compact Excavators are ready to work. They provide high-performance with variable-capacity hydraulic pumping power, while saving on fuel, maintenance, wear and tear. All Gehl Compact Excavators share the same standard features, including:

• High-output, high-torque engines - to supply extra power where and when it's needed
• Uncompromised operator comfort - for hours of fatigue-free operation
• Advanced, well-balanced hydraulic system - to allow simultaneous hydraulic functions without the loss of power or speed, and higher flow means improved digging and cycle times
• Standard auxiliary hydraulics - to power attachments for versatility and expanded capability
• Zero-Tail-Swing Maneuverability (Models 383Z, 503Z & 753Z) - the superstructure rotates entirely within the tracks without overhang, allowing operation close to obstructions without compromising site lines
• Industry-exclusive house leveling (Models 223 & 373) - to enable digging vertical trenches without benching or filling, and to perform better on side-hill applications
• Hydraulically dampened drive levers and pedals - to ensure precise handling for total control
• Independant boom swing, rubber tracks and dozer blade - standard on all models up to 12-ton
