What owners say about each
Case SR240B
- The 8,680 lb bucket breakout force is the strongest of any radial B-series Case and embarrasses machines with far more horsepower in the dirt.
- Tier 4 compliance via cooled EGR and a DOC only - no DPF regens, no DEF tank - keeps emissions maintenance at effectively zero.
- The 3.4L FPT's 232 lb-ft of torque is the story rather than the 74 hp rating, and owners consistently report it lugs through hard pushing without stalling.
- The 24.2 GPM standard flow with an available 37.6 GPM high-flow package runs a genuinely wide attachment range for a radial machine.
- A heavy-duty hydraulic attachment coupler comes standard on the SR240B - it's only optional on the smaller B-series machines.
- The B-series update added the 8-inch LCD display with backup camera, push-button start, and adjustable EH controls over the outgoing SR240.
- Price per pound of capacity undercuts a comparable Bobcat S76 or Cat 260 build by a healthy margin.
- Radial lift geometry limits reach and dump height at the top of the arc, so loading tall trucks is the vertical-lift SV280B's job.
- Owners report B-series sensor faults - the operator-presence seat sensor especially - that can lock out hydraulics until cleaned or replaced.
- Resale value trails Bobcat, Cat, and Deere, clawing back some of the attractive purchase price at trade-in.
- At 7,400 lbs with a bucket it's past half-ton towing territory, needing a 3/4-ton truck and a stout trailer.
- Electrical gremlins and display glitches show up in owner forums often enough to be a pattern, usually resolved by dealer software updates.
- High-flow, ride control, and the comfort cab package are all extra-cost options that move the real price well above base.
- The FPT engine is less familiar to independent mechanics than Cat or Kubota power, which can complicate rural or out-of-warranty service.
Gehl V210
- As a 2023-introduced model it's one of the freshest designs in Gehl's lineup, with updated ergonomics over the older R-series cabs.
- The naturally aspirated Yanmar 4TNV98C is the same base engine family Gehl has run for years, with a strong reputation for simple reliability.
- An optional 30 GPM high-flow package covers most hydraulic attachments short of the largest mulchers.
- Optional two-speed pushes travel to over 11 mph, quick for a wheeled machine moving between piles on a big yard.
- Available switchable self-leveling keeps forks flat automatically but can be turned off for precise bucket work.
- An optional counterweight kit raises rated capacity to about 2,250 lbs for heavier pallet loads.
- Gehl's limited dealer network remains the brand's biggest weakness, and a newer model means fewer techs have hands-on experience with it.
- The 120.5-inch hinge pin height trails the V270's 130-plus inches, so the tallest truck sides still favor its bigger sibling.
- At 7,480 lbs it needs a heavy trailer, giving up the easy-towing advantage of Gehl's smaller frames.
- Options add up quickly - cab, A/C, two-speed, high-flow, and self-leveling are all extra-cost items.
- The 22.9 GPM standard flow is adequate but unremarkable when Case and Cat ship similar or better flow standard.
