NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
  The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been
prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations
of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance 
with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted 
pursuant to such rules and regulations, although management believes that the 
disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

  In the opinion of management, the information furnished for the three-month 
periods ended April 1, 1995 and April 2, 1994 includes all adjustments,
consisting only of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair 
presentation of the results of operations and financial position of the 
Company.  The results of operations for the three months ended April 1, 1995 
are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire 
year.

  It is suggested that these interim financial statements be read in 
conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the 
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994 as
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

NOTE 2 - EARNINGS PER SHARE

  Earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted
average number of common shares and, if applicable, common stock equivalents
which would arise from the exercise of stock options and warrants.  The 
weighted average number of shares used in the computations was 6,202,996 and
6,135,067 for the three months ended April 1, 1995 and April 2, 1994,
respectively. 

NOTE 3 - INCOME TAXES

  The income tax provision is determined by applying an estimated annual
effective income tax rate to income (loss) before income taxes.  The estimated
annual effective income tax rate is based on the most recent annualized 
forecast of pretax income (loss), permanent book/tax differences, and tax 
credits.

NOTE 4 - INVENTORIES

  If all of the Company's inventories had been valued on a current cost basis, 
which approximated FIFO value, estimated inventories by major classification
would have been as follows (in thousands):

NOTE 5 - CONTINGENCIES

  The Company has received informal notification from the City of West Bend,
Wisconsin that it may have some financial responsibility with respect to the
closure of a landfill site used by the City of West Bend from the mid-1960's
through 1984.  The amount of the Company's potential financial obligation, if 
any, is not presently determinable.  The City of West Bend is currently taking 
remedial action with respect to the landfill site.



MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL
 CONDITION

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended April 1, 1995 Compared to Three Months Ended April 2, 1994

  Net sales for the first quarter of 1995 of $38.3 million were $4.1 million, 
or 12%, higher than the $34.2 million in the comparable period of 1994.  Gehl
Agriculture sales increased 3% to $24.3 million in the first quarter of 1995 
from $23.6 million in the first quarter of 1994.  Gehl Construction's net 
sales increased 32% to $14.0 million in the first quarter of 1995 from $10.6 
million in the first quarter of 1994.  The Gehl Construction increase resulted 
from strong demand for the Company's products, particularly for skid steer 
loaders and rough-terrain telescoping boom forklifts.

  Gross profit increased $987,000, or 10%, during the first quarter of 1995 
versus the comparable period of 1994, primarily due to increased sales volume. 
Gross profit as a percent of net sales decreased to 27.9% for the first 
quarter of 1995 from 28.3% in the comparable period of 1994, due primarily to
a change in the product mix of shipments.  Gross profit as a percent of net 
sales for Gehl Agriculture decreased to 25.3% for the first quarter of 1995 
from 28.9% in the first quarter of 1994.  The primary reason for the lower 
percentage was the impact of a change in the mix of products shipped in the 
first quarter of 1995 versus products shipped in comparable 1994.  The change
in mix included a heavier emphasis on shipments of certain discontinued 
products at little or no gross profit and a higher level of 1995 shipments of
certain products where cost increases incurred by the Company exceeded price 
increases over the past twelve months.  Gross profit as a percent of net sales
for Gehl Construction increased to 32.4% in the first quarter of 1995 from 
27.0% in the first quarter of 1994.  The primary reasons for the percentage
improvement were: 1) the impact of a change in the mix of products shipped in
the first quarter of 1995 versus products shipped in comparable 1994, 2) the
percentage of export sales, typically made at a lower gross margin than 
domestic sales, constituting a smaller portion of first quarter sales in 1995
than in 1994, 3) the full impact of lowering the overall cost structure of 
Gehl Construction as a result of the first quarter 1994 transfer of paving
products production to the Yankton, South Dakota plant from the Lithonia, 
Georgia plant, which was closed in January, 1994, and 4) certain economies of
scale associated with the increased level of production at the plants 
manufacturing construction equipment.

  Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $312,000, or 4%, 
during the first quarter of 1995 versus the comparable period of 1994.  The 
decrease related primarily to reductions from 1994 first quarter expense 
levels associated with allowance for doubtful accounts and product liability 
costs, offset, in part, by increased sales promotion costs.  As a percent of 
net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to 19.9% 
during the first quarter of 1995 versus 23.2% in the comparable period of 
1994.

  Income from operations in the first quarter of 1995 was $3.1 million versus 
$1.8 million in the first quarter of 1994.  The improvement was due primarily
to increased sales volume and a reduction in selling, general and 
administrative expenses from 1994 levels.

  Interest expense decreased $237,000, or 14%, to $1.52 million in the first
quarter of 1995 from $1.75 million in the first quarter of 1994.  The 
decrease was a result of a decrease in average debt outstanding to $59.6 
million in the first quarter of 1995 versus $75.7 million in the first 
quarter of 1994 offset, in part, by an increase in the average rate of interest
paid by the Company.  The average interest rate paid rose to 9.8% in the 
first quarter of 1995 from 9.1% in the first quarter of 1994, due to 
increases in the prime rate which serves as the base for the Company's 
interest rate under its line of credit facility.  The rate increase was
partially offset by the impact of a decrease in the mark-up over the prime 
rate on the Company's loans under its line of credit facility, which decrease
was effective October 1994.

  Other expense, net was $167,000 in the first quarter of 1995 versus $559,000 
in the comparable period of 1994.  The decrease resulted, in part, from the 
quarterly revaluation of certain previous sales of finance contracts made 
under variable interest rate arrangements.  Lower U.S. Treasury bill rates at 
April 1, 1995 than at December 31, 1994, resulted in $15,000 of income from 
this year's first quarter revaluation.  The quarterly revaluation one year ago
at April 2, 1994 had resulted in $222,000 of expense.  The remainder of the 
decrease in other expense, net is a result of Canadian foreign exchange 
income of $8,000 recorded in the first quarter of 1995 versus Canadian foreign
exchange losses of $150,000 incurred in the first quarter of 1994.

  Under generally accepted accounting principles, the Company was not required
to record a federal income tax provision related to its 1995 first quarter
operating income due to the existence of net operating loss carryforwards, 
nor was the Company permitted to record a deferred tax benefit related to its
1994 first quarter net operating loss.

Financial Condition

  The Company's working capital was $84.4 million at April 1, 1995, as 
compared to $73.9 million at December 31, 1994, and $90.7 million at April 2, 
1994.  The increase since December 31, 1994 resulted primarily from seasonal 
increases in accounts receivable, finance contracts receivables and 
inventories financed with borrowings under the Company's line of credit 
facility.  The decrease from April 2, 1994 primarily relates to a reduction in 
accounts receivable.

  The Company's first quarter 1995 cash flow used for operating activities was
$7.4 million versus $6.1 million used for operating activities in comparable 
1994. The first quarter cash flow from operating activities is normally 
negative due to seasonal increases in accounts receivables and inventories.  
The Company currently anticipates that cash flow from operations will be 
positive for the remaining quarters of 1995, as was the case in 1994.

  Capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment during the first 
quarter of 1995 were approximately $234,000.  Outstanding commitments as of
April 1, 1995 totaled approximately $266,000.  The Company plans to make 
approximately $3.5 million of capital expenditures during 1995.  

  As of April 1, 1995, the weighted average interest rate paid by the Company
on outstanding borrowings under its line of credit facility was 9.7%.  The
Company had available unused borrowing capacity of $18.0 million, $19.2 million
and $12.7 million under the line of credit facility at April 1, 1995, 
December 31, 1994, and April 2, 1994, respectively.  At April 1, 1995, December
31, 1994, and April 2, 1994, the borrowings outstanding under the line of 
credit facility were $55.0 million, $45.9 million and $60.7 million, 
respectively.

  The sale of finance contracts is an important component of the Company's 
overall liquidity.  Gehl has arrangements with several financial institutions
and financial service companies to sell, with recourse, its finance contracts
receivable.  The Company continues to service all contracts whether or not 
sold. At April 1, 1995, Gehl serviced $56.9 million of such contracts, of 
which $48.1 million were owned by other parties.  The Company believes that it
has sufficient capacity to sell its retail finance contracts for the 
foreseeable future.

  Shareholders' equity at April 1, 1995 was $48.1 million.  This was $7.4 
million higher than the $40.7 million of shareholders' equity at April 2, 1994,
due primarily to income earned from April 3, 1994 through April 1, 1995.
