Gehl

The RT Series includes two compact track loader models, the RT175 (pictured) and RT210, which feature the HydraTrac automatic track tensioning system designed to eliminate the need for manually tensioning the tracks on the loader before operation. When the machine is started, the hydraulic system automatically pressurizes a load device that provides the ideal tension for the track system. The HydraTrac System uses this excess hydraulic pressure to maintain proper track tension during use. The model RT175 engine produces up to 179 foot pounds of torque resulting in 11,840 pounds of tractive effort. The model RT210 engine produces 206 foot pounds of torque resulting in up to 12,359 pounds of tractive effort.
