With over 40 years of skid loader manufacturing experience, Gehl has taken performance to the next level with the R220 skid loader.

The new R220 has a spacious operator station with plenty of adjustability and enhanced comfort features that users have come to expect from Gehl.

• Large Level II ROPS/FOPS is standard equipment.
• New side-folding restraint bar and adjustable armrests enhance operator safety and comfort.
• Adjustable control pods (joystick and hand/foot configurations) and an optional air-ride seat deliver outstanding comfort.
• Cab forward design enhances view to the bucket edge. Lowered rear towers improve visibility to the rear of the machine.
• Extra-large side screens, combined with the Gehl PowerView® low-profile lift arm design, provide a wide field-of-view to the side work areas.
• Optional pressurized sealed cab enclosure, with sound reduction material and rear-mounted air filter, provides a cleaner, quieter, climate controlled operating environment.

Controls on the R220 incorporate intuitive design, state-of-the-art technology and plenty of options to suit the preference of any operator.

• Four control options include T-Bar, Joystick, Dual-Hand, and Hand/Foot.
• Auxiliary controls are located on the control grip in all control configurations for easy access.
• Customizable integrated digital display provides coolant, fuel, battery, environmental and engine regeneration, and more information in real time.
• Adjustable joystick control pods provide ease of operator control with minimal effort, reducing fatigue.
• New upper-left and upper-right instrument panels provide easy readout and switch access.
• Hydraloc™ system applies brakes whenever the operator raises the restraint bar, leaves the operator’s seat or switches off the ignition.

The R220 is equipped with a top-of-the-line Yanmar Tier IV engine that meets emissions standards and provides the muscle needed to tackle demanding jobs with ease.

• The DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) system provides clean emissions without the need for additional fuel after-treatment additives.
• The DPF requires regeneration to maintain optimal running conditions. This occurs passively as the machine is operated, but also requires occasional manual regeneration by the operator.
• Regeneration is intuitively managed through the digital display and a clearly labeled rocker switch.

The R220 has amped-up hydraulic systems which incorporate intuitive design for precise controllability.

• Impressive breakout forces deliver optimal digging and lifting performance.
• Improved cycle times increase productivity on the jobsite.
• Excellent ease of operation and proportionate flow adjustability are achieved with the auxiliary flow control rocker switch located on the control grip.
• HydraGlide™ option helps keep material in the bucket and provides a smoother ride by allowing the bucket to float when travelling over rough terrain.
• Hardened chrome cylinder rods resist pitting, rusting and scratching, extending the life of the cylinders.

The R220 is built with a robust, radial lift arm that incorporates performance and durability.

• Radial lift path offers enhanced performance in excavating, grading and digging below grade applications.
• Selectable hydraulic self-leveling option keeps the bucket level throughout the lift cycle.
• Over the tire design provides wider access.
• Gehl PowerView® low-profile boom design offers optimal side-to-side visibility.

Excellent service access and quality components pair up to provide durable machines that are easy to maintain.

• Oversized engine hood and rear door opens completely, exposing engine components and daily maintenance points.
• ROPS/FOPS tilts up with the aid of gas struts for access to hydraulic components.
• Drive chains and axle bearings are sealed systems that require no maintenance.
• All high-rotation pins have grease points for ease of maintenance.
• Features such as the remote oil drain and filter provide simple and easy maintenance access.
