Description:

The VT230 is powered by a 72-hp (53.7 kW) diesel engine, giving it robust performance for its size. Its rated operating capacity is 2,300 lb (measured at 35% tipping load), matching GEHL’s published figure for the model.

GEHL’s 2025 CTL lineup (including the VT230) now features an all-new vertical lift arm geometry designed to improve upward reach, reduce buildup of debris on the lift arms, and route hydraulic lines more cleanly and protected.

Hydraulics & Attachment Performance:

GEHL bumped up the auxiliary hydraulics on their newest compact track load models. The VT230 is rated for 23 gpm at 3,475 psi in standard flow, and an optional high-flow system delivers 30 gpm at 3,325 psi. These upgrades enhance its ability to power attachments such as mulchers, cold planers, brush cutters, and more, making it more capable for high-demand work.

Operator Comfort, Visibility & Controls:

GEHL has improved the operator environment for the VT230 with a cleaner cab design, larger windows, and new roof/window geometry to boost visibility — particularly upward along the lift arms. The new folding door option (IdealAccess) allows easier entry/egress and helps with maintenance and visibility.

Control responsiveness (lift, tilt, drive) is tuned to match job requirements, and operators can enjoy intuitive controls in a cab optimized for daily use and longer hours.

Serviceability & Track System:

GEHL’s CTL enhancements include IdealTrax, a track-tensioning system that correctly tensions the tracks at machine start and relieves tension when the engine is off - improving track life and easier cleaning. Additionally, the vertical lift arm design routes hydraulic lines under or in the arms rather than exposed, further improving durability and ease of maintenance.
