What owners say about each
Case SV340B
- The SV340B is Case's biggest wheeled skid steer, and its 3,400 lb capacity and 9,530 lb bucket breakout force impress operators doing heavy loading and digging.
- The vertical lift with a 131.6-inch hinge-pin height makes loading the tallest trucks and hoppers easy, competitive with the best large frames.
- Case pricing undercuts Bobcat and Cat large-frame skid steers, so value-focused buyers feel they get a lot of capability for the money.
- The 24.2 GPM standard flow plus high-flow option runs a wide range of demanding attachments for versatility.
- Case cabs are roomy and comfortable with good visibility, and owners appreciate the low-effort EH controls over long days.
- The FPT engine pulls strongly, and owners doing heavy work report the machine handles demanding loads without straining.
- Two-speed travel comes standard, making ground-to-ground moves quick on larger sites.
- Case's dealer and parts network is thinner than the big three, and owners in some regions report frustrating waits for service parts.
- Resale value trails Bobcat, Cat, and Deere, so the lower purchase price is partly offset by a bigger depreciation hit.
- Some owners report electronic and sensor issues on FPT-engined machines that can be tricky to diagnose without a good dealer.
- As a wheeled machine it lacks the flotation of the TV450B, making it less suited to soft or muddy ground.
- At 90 hp some heavy operators wish for more power relative to the machine's high capacity for the toughest dirt work.
- The attachment and used-implement ecosystem isn't as deep as Bobcat's, limiting options in some markets.
- Dealer support quality varies widely by region, and owners say the ownership experience depends heavily on the local dealer.
Gehl V275
- A 129-inch hinge pin height loads high-side and tri-axle bodies that mid-frame machines cannot reach over.
- 33 GPM high flow is enough for most mulching heads, cold planers and snow blowers, not just brooms and augers.
- Replaces two older machines at once - the radial R260 and the previous-generation V270 - so it is the single current answer in this capacity band.
- Self-leveling plus an A/C enclosed cab makes long pallet-handling days tolerable.
- 11 mph two-speed travel with 2,750 lbs of capacity is a rare combination at this price point.
- Dealer listings for 2026 units cluster in the high sixties, which undercuts comparably specified Bobcat and Cat machines.
- At 8,199 lbs, trailering needs a gooseneck or a heavy tandem - this is no longer a pickup-and-utility-trailer machine.
- Only 5,501 lbs of tipping load, so the 50%-basis rating is a genuine ceiling rather than a conservative one.
- Vertical lift trades away some of the ground-level digging bite that buyers coming off an R260 will notice.
- Gehl's thin dealer network is a real risk on a machine at this price, where downtime costs more.
- Dealer quotes for 2025 stock ran as high as the mid-eighties, so the price spread on this model is wide.
