Dave, strictly from a stability standpoint, how did the Boxer articulated loaders compare with the Gehls?

First of all the Gehls are American made in South Dakota, They are basically clones of the German made Nueson (Wacker private labels them). gehl private labels the German Nueson wheel loaders and Mini excavators, there are Nueson components on their "American made" articulating series.
The Boxer is the Italian made Multione, marketed here for about 10 years under Multi one and Multi trac names also.
The "Boxer" Articulated are no longer supported by Boxer, for about a year and a half now.

SEXY machines, lots of plastic
This Company in Canada is now selling them and is the only North American current factory parts source.

Ok STABILITY between the multi's and the new Gehls
The Multis have a lower center of Gravity, and shorter
float tires then the Gehl. The Gehl 140 is the closest to the 20 and 30 series Multis, with its 40" wheelbase, with its taller float tires it would be LESS stable that's why I came up with the Duals. The Gehl 340s with their 50" wide stance are much stabile and comparable to the small swingers (100 series).
The Multis are pretty amazing and in my opinion are over/under engineered for the incredible specs they have. Tree guys and landscapers that consistently max out these specs experience metal fatigue and failure in the boom arms and the self leveling option.
Plastic/Fiberglass shrouds and covers also have a hard time surviving. time Put the two side by side and from a metal standpoint the Multi looks homeowner duty next to the Gehl commercial Duty, as the gross weights would indicate ~2200#s to 3800#s. Comparison Examples
