Case against Gehl
Case has 14 machines here, Gehl 21. Neither brand wins this page — a range is not a machine, and the useful question is which one covers the work you do.

One thing to know before comparing any advertised figure between these two: Case rate track-loader capacity at 50 per cent of tipping load, where most makers use 35. The capacity rows above are recomputed on one basis so they are comparable, but the numbers on the brochures are not. Why that happens.
Which models actually line up
Machines within 12 per cent of each other on capacity, measured the same way, and of the same type. These are the pairs worth worth comparing directly.
