Join me as I borrow my friend John's new 2019 Gehl RT215 skid steer to take it for a test run and get some initial thoughts and comparisons. John owns H and H Pest control and covers all of Southern Illinois and is super reliable, so if you are anywhere down in this area and need any kind of pest control look him up at (618) 7713774. Now on to the skid steer. Gehl has a unique hydraulic track tension system that is really slick. Basically every time you turn the machine off it will loosen the tension on the tracks automatically, thereby adding life to the whole track system. They also have a really good traction control system (there are several videos out there on it) that works great in slippery conditions. Join me in the cab as I take a test run, run it up to full speed, do a little skid steer loader work, and then run it over some really rough ground (kind of fast..) to really get a feel for how rough the ride might be in rough terrain. As far as me personally, I am looking for the most comfortable ride available since I need 3 back surgeries that I am try to hold off as long as I possibly can!
