Subject: Gehl 6640E skidloader?


SC Wisconsin
I have been casually looking around for a 5640 skidloader but i ran across a 2012 6640E with about 2800 hours for 15k. Price seems right, it has 2 speed, powerattach cab and heat. We currently have 4640E and 4635 that are nice for getting in tight spots but wanted to step up to a 5640 for handling baleage a little safer. How much bogger is a 6640 than a 56? The 56 would be pretty tight in some spots but doable. The 46 and 56 series have great track records around here, uncles use them on their dairy and get close to 10k hours before they start to have much problems. Is the 66 size as reliable? I know the bigger 78 size has its share of issues but not sure how much the 66 and 78 share as far as components. A 78 would be way to big for what i want to do with it. It has a yanmar motor also. Thanks
Edited to add- main jobs are scraping concrete lots, cleaning pens and loading manure and moving bales/baleage. The bigger machine would definitely be nice for loading spreader as the 46 size is really reaching if i want to get a NAT approved load on it
