Gehl 5240 Pros/Cons

[artesianspringsfarm]

Needing a skidsteer for the farm. Just bought one of these at auction. Seemed like reasonable value. Anyone ever use one? If so, pluses and minuses would be appreciated.

I'll have to double check the # but I think the 5240 is the skidloader.we have for around the farm at work, and I really like it, it's very smooth to operate and is very stable, I use it alot to load unload big square bales (900 lbs) and it will lift 3 and is really stable with 2 and loading them on tall semi flatbed trailers. I think it is a great all around machine, ours has no front door but has a great heater and you stay comfortable even in really cold weather. It's also 2 speed which is really nice.

I was wrong, the one at work is a 4840 which looks identical but the 5240 has 8 more horsepower. I think you will be happy with it.
