Better View, More Control Choices

To improve the operator's view, Mustang re-engineered its ROPS/FOPS enclosure for the 2054 (and 2044, in a smaller class) with a larger rear window and redesigned side screen. Hand controls require 18 percent less control effort. The 2054 and 2044 have two new control options: dual lever with foot controls and T-bar with foot controls.

Mid-sized skid-steer models: 3

Product-line features: Gehl provides skid-steers to Mustang, but the two lines are hardly identical. Gehl's 4640 and 4840 have no Mustang counterpart, and Mustang's 2054 has no comparable Gehl model. Even those models that share a basic platform (chassis and hydraulic pumps) retain significant distinctions such as Mustang's unique loader arms and Yanmar, instead of Deutz, engine.
