We had some Gehl equipment. It was great! I had the pleasure of meeting a Gehl Exec in 1990. I complemented him for the ease of service and repair of Gehl equipment. He said they made the designer's think about how to improve, not depend on what used to work or what a computer said would work. 👍, Gehl!
We liked our Gehl machinery. Dad bought a BU86 forage wagon in 1963. We used it hard until I sold the machinery in '96. When the dealer sold out, a neighbor bought all the BU series parts for his wagons and he sold some, too. I had a couple Gehl forage harvesters as well. We got good service from them.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed! It is a shame the ag line didn't hold out. The issue was, the market was flooded due to the pool of farms shrinking. It's surprising they held on as long as they did.
Glad you enjoyed! Provided it isn't tired, you should like the 1260. They have a big appetite & can make short work of your crop if you have enough power on it.
It's too bad that Gehl discontinued the forage harvest business. I especially like their twin spinner blowers, but never got the chance to own one because they quit before I was ready to upgrade.
