What to do if Gehl RT210 Compact Loader engine runs, but travel drive doesn't operate?
- R
  Robert RomeroAug 17, 2025
  If your Gehl Compact Loader's travel drive isn't working despite the engine running, several things could be the cause. The parking brake might be applied, so disengage it. There could be a parking brake switch malfunction, so replace the parking brake switch(es). A blown fuse could also be the issue, so check the circuit and replace the fuse. The operator might not be in the operator’s seat, so ensure the seat is occupied for the travel drive to operate. The cab door might be open (if equipped), so close the cab door. A drive system component malfunction could also be the problem or there might be an error code present.

Why aren't the hydraulics working on my Gehl RT210?

  Corey RichardsonAug 21, 2025
  If the hydraulics on your Gehl Compact Loader aren't working or have poor performance, there are several potential causes. There might be an error code present. The hydraulic oil level could be low, so top it off. The hydraulic oil might not be at operating temperature, so allow for a longer warm-up. Other possibilities include damage to the engine to pump coupling or hydraulic pump (contact dealer), pressure limiting valves set too low or damaged (contact dealer), damaged hydraulic cylinder(s) (contact dealer), damaged control valve(s) (contact dealer), engine speed too low (adjust engine speed), or dirty/restricted air filter(s) (replace filter(s) and/or remove restriction).

How to troubleshoot loss of electrical power in Gehl RT210 Compact Loader?
- M
  mherringAug 26, 2025
  If you're experiencing a loss of electrical power in your Gehl Compact Loader, start by checking the battery terminals and cables for looseness or corrosion; clean and tighten them as needed. If that's not the issue, the battery itself might be malfunctioning, so test it and recharge or replace it as necessary. Finally, a blown main fuse could be the culprit; correct the over-current problem and replace the main fuse.

What causes instrument display not to activate on Gehl RT210?
- D
  Dr. Karen HallAug 29, 2025
  If the instrument display on your Gehl Compact Loader doesn't activate when the ignition is turned on, it could be due to a few reasons. First, check for a blown main fuse and replace it after correcting any over-current issues. Also, inspect the battery terminals and cables for looseness or corrosion, cleaning and tightening them as needed. Another possibility is an ignition switch malfunction, which would require replacing the switch. In very cold weather, the display screen might be slow to activate, so allow a few minutes for it to display.
