Gehl RT210 Compact track loaders tech specs

Overview

The Gehl RT210 is a sensible mid-size compact track loader for contractors who need more than a light landscaping unit but do not need a giant production machine. It brings useful lift, decent hydraulics, and enough machine weight to feel planted in daily work.

Performance & Efficiency

With 52.72 kW of net power and a 952.55 kg lifting capacity, the RT210 is suited to pallets, general bucket work, cleanup, and routine contractor loading. Hydraulic flow at 82.51 L/min gives it enough ability for common attachments, while the 12.71 km/h travel speed keeps site movement practical without making this machine feel especially fast or aggressive.

Maintenance & Ownership

The turbocharged Yanmar 4TNV98-XNMS is a known engine platform, and the overall package looks geared toward straightforward daily ownership. With a 92.35 L fuel tank and a practical layout, the RT210 makes sense for contractors who want a modern CTL that can work consistently without pretending to be a specialized high-output unit.

In Cabin & Interior

The cab is compact and work-focused. At 2.13 m to the top of cab, it stays manageable on most sites, and the 1.64 m turning radius helps in tighter spaces. It feels built around usability and routine productivity rather than premium polish.

Safety Features

Safety comes mainly from the machine’s balanced stance, decent visibility, and predictable compact-track behavior. The 1.77 m width and 0.32 bar ground pressure give it a stable footprint for mixed site conditions, though it is not the softest option for delicate finished surfaces.

Verdict

Rated 4 stars, the Gehl RT210 is a practical compact track loader for grading, cleanup, light-to-medium loading, and daily contractor support. It works best for buyers who want a modern, manageable CTL with balanced performance rather than a machine built to dominate one specific job.
