Why Contractors Are Switching
3 Reasons GEHL Outperforms Bobcat
IdealTrax™ — 15% Longer Track Life
GEHL's proprietary IdealTrax system automatically maintains optimal track tension during operation and releases tension when the engine shuts off. No competitor offers this. The result: tracks that last approximately 15% longer, directly reducing the single largest maintenance cost on any compact track loader.
Your Dealer Is a Diesel Engine Specialist
Bluegrass Diesel Specialists is not a general equipment retailer — it’s a full-service diesel engine repair facility with an on-site machine shop, engine rebuilding capability, and 30+ years of diesel expertise. When your GEHL needs engine work, the same dealer that sold it can perform valve grinding, cylinder boring, head resurfacing, and complete overhauls in-house.
More Power Where It Counts
The GEHL V335 delivers 100 hp vs the Bobcat S770’s 92 hp. The V360 pushes that to 114 hp — 22 more horsepower than Bobcat’s top skid steer. With optional side counterweights boosting capacity to 3,800 lb, GEHL’s large-frame lineup is the most powerful available from any dealer in Northern Kentucky.
