Gehl V330 GEN:2
The bright segment is what Gehl V330 GEN:2 is rated to carry; the grey run past it is the rest of its tipping load. Bar length is tipping load drawn to the same scale on every machine on the site, so a short bar is a smaller machine and not a conservative rating.
Gehl publishes no list price for this machine, and we found no dealer listing worth quoting, so there is no number here to give you. What we can say is what the machines around it cost: the middle half of the 9 wheeled machines within 15 per cent of its capacity list between $67,909 and $79,590. That is a fact about them, not a quote for this one.
Second-generation V330, distinct from the superseded V330 that gehl.com still serves a page for, carrying 3,300 lbs on a 9,090 lb frame. It overlaps the newer large-frame V325 closely, so the choice between them usually comes down to what a dealer has on the lot.

What owners report
Summarised from the sources listed below. Nothing here was tested by us.
Sitting at the top of Gehl's standard-frame wheeled range before the large-frame machines arrived, this is a 3,300 lb loader built around a familiar 72 hp Yanmar and a genuinely useful high-flow option. The GEN:2 update is the current version, and the distinction matters commercially: the earlier V330 is still listed in plenty of places, and buying the wrong one is an easy mistake to make from a photograph.
What owners actually talk about is the hydraulics, and mostly in a good way that creates its own problem. A standard auxiliary circuit in the 23-24 GPM range at well over 3,000 psi is more flow and pressure than many attachments expect. One owner fitting a grapple spent weeks chasing a loud squeal and unusable open-and-close speed, first discovering the attachment had been sold to him in a tractor-loader specification, then finding that the replacement's coupler carried a restrictor union with a very small orifice - it took progressively opening that orifice to get smooth, safe operation. It is a good reminder that flow is only an advantage if the attachment is rated for it. The other recurring theme is hydrostatic drive behaviour that only shows up warm: slow boom and lost steering after several minutes, which in one case followed hard right turns specifically and pointed at pressure relief rather than the drive motors.
Standard-frame running costs with large-frame-adjacent capacity is the pitch, provided you are handling material rather than running the heaviest attachments - 72 hp is the ceiling on what the high-flow circuit can do. Gehl publishes no list price, so quotes are the only benchmark, and it is worth pricing under the Manitou badge as well. On a used example, run it until the hydraulic oil is hot, then work the boom and turn hard in both directions before you agree anything.
What owners like
- 3,300 lbs of capacity with roughly 35 GPM available on the high-flow option is the most attachment flow Gehl offers on a standard-frame wheeled machine, and it sits under a 72 hp Yanmar that has been in the range long enough to be a known quantity.
- 12 mph two-speed travel is a notch quicker than the large-frame machines around it, which matters more than it sounds on a site where the stockpile and the work are a few hundred yards apart.
- Self-leveling and an air-conditioned cab are available, matching the operator specification of machines a frame size up.
- Unlike the September 2025 large-frame range, this model has been in the field long enough that owners are publicly working through real faults on it - there is an actual service conversation to learn from before you buy.
- The Yanmar engine keeps it on the same parts and service relationship as the rest of Gehl's mid-range, rather than adding the Deutz relationship the large-frame machines bring.
What owners complain about
- The GEN:2 designation is doing real work: the plain V330 is a different, superseded machine, and the two are easy to confuse in listings and on dealer lots. Check the serial plate, not the decal.
- It sits awkwardly between the V325 and V335 on capacity, and once the large-frame range arrived the case for it became harder to make on paper.
- A 131-inch lift height is the shortest of Gehl's 3,250 lb-and-up wheeled machines, so the tallest truck bodies still favour the large-frame models.
- 72 hp under 3,300 lbs is the same engine output Gehl fits to the much smaller V230, which caps what the high-flow circuit can actually deliver to an attachment.
- Owners report the standard auxiliary circuit is strong enough to cause trouble with attachments not specified for it - one traced a loud squeal and erratic grapple speed to an attachment built for tractor loaders, then to an undersized restrictor union in the coupler that had to be opened up before the attachment behaved.
- Owners of V330-series machines have also chased hydrostatic drive faults that only appear once the oil is warm - loss of steering and slow boom after several minutes of running, in one case traced to pressure dropping away on hard right turns - so a cold test drive proves nothing on a used example.
