            NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                July 1, 1995
                                 (Unaudited)


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 and six month periods ended July 1, 1995 and July 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 six months ended July 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 by the
weighted average number of common stock and, if applicable, common stock
equivalents which would arise from the exercise of stock options and

was 6,255,959 and 6,170,707 for the three months ended July 1, 1995 and July
2, 1994, respectively, and 6,229,478 and 6,170,346 for the six months ended
July 1, 1995 and July 2, 1994, respectively. 

NOTE 3 - INCOME TAXES

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

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

     Net sales for the second quarter of 1995 of $42.7 million were
$814,000, or 2%, higher than the $41.9 million in the comparable period of
1994.  Gehl Agriculture sales decreased 4% to $26.4 million in the second
quarter of 1995 from $27.4 million in the second quarter of 1994.  This
decrease is reflective of the Company's overall strategy to further reduce
equipment inventory at agricultural dealers and reflects market conditions
slightly less strong than in comparable 1994.  Gehl Construction's net sales
increased 13% to $16.3 million in the second quarter of 1995 from $14.5
million in the second quarter of 1994.  The Gehl Construction increase
primarily resulted from strong demand for the Company's rough-terrain
telescoping boom forklift and service parts.  

     Gross profit decreased $157,000, or 1%, during the second quarter of
1995 versus the comparable period of 1994, primarily due to a change in the
product mix of shipments.  Gross profit as a percent of net sales decreased
to 29.7% for the second quarter of 1995 from 30.7% in the comparable period
of 1994.  Gross profit as a percent of net sales for Gehl Agriculture
decreased to 27.9% for the second quarter of 1995 from 31.2% in the second
quarter of 1994.  The primary reasons for the lower percentage were the
impact of a change in the mix of products shipped in the second quarter of
1995 versus products shipped in comparable 1994 and the percentage of export
sales, typically made at a lower gross margin than domestic sales,
constituting a higher portion of second quarter sales in 1995 than in 1994. 
The change in mix included a heavier emphasis on shipments of certain
products where vendor cost increases incurred by the Company exceeded price
increases to the Company's customers over the past twelve months.  Gross
profit as a percent of net sales for Gehl Construction increased to 32.7% in
the second quarter of 1995 from 29.7% in the second 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 second 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 second 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 $1.3 million, or
14%, during the second quarter of 1995 versus the comparable period of 1994. 
The decrease related primarily to reductions from 1994 second quarter
expense levels associated with allowance for doubtful accounts and product
liability costs.  As a percent of net sales, selling, general and
administrative expenses decreased to 18.3% during the second quarter of 1995
versus 21.8% in the comparable period of 1994.  

     Income from operations in the second quarter of 1995 was $4.9 million
versus $3.7 million in the second quarter of 1994.  The improvement was due
primarily to a reduction in selling, general and administrative expenses
from 1994 levels.  

     Interest expense decreased $218,000, or 12%, to $1.7 million in the
second quarter of 1995 from $1.9 million in the second quarter of 1994.  The
decrease was a result of a decrease in average debt outstanding to $64.6
million in the second quarter of 1995 versus $76.7 million in the second
quarter of 1994.  The impact of the decrease in average debt outstanding was
offset, in part, by an increase in the average rate of interest paid by the
Company.  The average interest rate paid rose to 10.2% in the second quarter
of 1995 from 9.6% in the second 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 in
October 1994.

     Other expense, net was $42,000 in the second quarter of 1995 versus
$557,000 in the comparable period of 1994.  The decrease in expense was
primarily due to a reduction in the costs of selling finance contracts and
from the quarterly revaluation of certain previous sales of finance
contracts made under variable interest rate arrangements, resulting in
income in the second quarter of 1995 versus expense in 1994's second
quarter.  

     Under generally accepted accounting principles, the Company was not
required to record a federal income tax provision related to either its 1995
or 1994 second quarter operating income due to the existence of net
operating loss carryforwards.

Six Months Ended July 1, 1995 Compared to Six Months Ended July 2, 1994

     Net sales for the first six months of 1995 of $81.0 million were $4.8
million, or 6%, higher than the $76.2 million in the comparable period of
1994.  Gehl Agriculture's net sales decreased slightly to $50.7 million in
the first six months of 1995 from $51.1 million in the first six months of
1994.  Gehl Construction's net sales increased 21% to $30.3 million in the
first six months of 1995 from $25.1 million in the first six months of 1994. 
The Gehl Construction increase resulted from strong demand for the Company's
products, particularly for skid steer loaders, rough-terrain telescoping
boom forklifts and service parts.

     Gross profit increased $830,000, or 4%, during the first six months of
1995 versus the comparable period of 1994, primarily due to the increased
sales volume.  Gross profit as a percent of net sales decreased to 28.9% for
the first six months of 1995 from 29.6% 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 26.7% for the first
six months of 1995 from 30.1% in the comparable period of 1994.  The primary
reason for the lower percentage was the impact of a change in the mix of
products shipped in the first six months of 1995 versus products shipped in
comparable 1994.  The change in mix included a higher level of 1995
shipments of certain products where cost increases incurred by the Company
exceeded price increases over the past twelve months and a heavier emphasis
on shipments of certain discontinued products at little or no gross profit. 
Gross profit as a percent of net sales for Gehl Construction increased to
32.6% in the first six months of 1995 from 28.6% in the first six months 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 six months 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 the first six months 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 $1.6 million, or
9%, during the first six months of 1995 versus the comparable period of
1994.  The decrease related primarily to reductions, from 1994 first six
month 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 19.1% during the first six months of 1995 versus 22.4%
in the comparable period of 1994.

     Income from operations in the first six months of 1995 was $7.9 million
versus $5.5 million in the comparable period of 1994.  The improvement was
due primarily to a reduction in selling, general and administrative expenses
and increased sales volume from 1994 levels.

     Interest expense decreased $455,000, or 12%, to $3.2 million in the
first six months of 1995 from $3.6 million in the first six months of 1994. 
The decrease was a result of a decrease in average debt outstanding to $61.9
million in the first six months of 1995 versus $75.7 million in the
comparable period 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 10.1% for the first six months of 1995 from 9.4% in the first six months
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 in October 1994.

     Other expense, net was $216,000 in the first six months of 1995 versus
$1.1 million in the comparable period of 1994.  The decrease in expense
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 July 1, 1995 than at December 31, 1994, resulted
in $73,000 of income from revaluations performed in the first six months of
1995.  The quarterly revaluations performed during the first six months of
1994 had resulted in $420,000 of expense.  The decrease in other expense,
net was also the result of a $190,000 reduction in costs of selling finance
contracts.  The remainder of the decrease in other expense, net was the
result of Canadian foreign exchange income of $39,000 recorded in the first
six months of 1995 versus Canadian foreign exchange losses of $143,000
occurring in the comparable period of 1994.

     Under generally accepted accounting principles, the Company was not
required to record a federal income tax provision related to the net
operating income recorded in the first six months of either 1995 or 1994 due
to the existence of net operating loss carryforwards.

Financial Condition

     The Company's working capital was $85.4 million at July 1, 1995, as
compared to $73.9 million at December 31, 1994, and $83.4 million at July 2,
1994.  The increase since December 31, 1994 resulted primarily from seasonal
increases in accounts receivable and finance contracts receivable financed
with borrowings under the Company's line of credit facility.

     The Company's cash flow used for operating activities in the first six
months of 1995 was $3.3 million versus $5.5 million provided by operating
activities in comparable 1994.  The second quarter 1995 cash flow provided
by operations was $4.1 million as compared to 1994's second quarter of $11.6
million provided by operations.  The 1995 second quarter and six month cash
flow decreases from 1994 were due primarily to lower year-to-year reductions
of accounts receivable, as the levels of accounts receivable have been
reduced to more appropriate levels.

     Capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment during the first
six months of 1995 were approximately $709,000.  Outstanding commitments as
of July 1, 1995 totaled approximately $517,000.  The Company expects to make
approximately $3.0 million of capital expenditures during 1995.

     As of July 1, 1995, the weighted average interest rate paid by the
Company on outstanding borrowings under its line of credit facility was
9.6%.  The Company had available unused borrowing capacity of $20.2 million,
$19.2 million, and $18.1 million under the line of credit facility at July
1, 1995, December 31, 1994, and July 2, 1994, respectively.  At July 1,
1995, December 31, 1994, and July 2, 1994, the borrowings outstanding under
the line of credit facility were $52.5 million, $45.9 million and $52.3
million, respectively.  Total long-term debt outstanding was $61.4 million
at July 1, 1995, a $10.0 million, or 14%, reduction from $71.4 million at
July 2, 1994.

     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 July 1, 1995, Gehl serviced $58.3 million
of such contracts, of which $47.8 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 July 1, 1995 was $51.8 million.  This was $9.3
million higher than the $42.5 million of shareholders' equity at July 2,
1994, due primarily to income earned from July 3, 1994 through July 1, 1995.

                            FIRST AMENDMENT TO AMENDED AND
                         RESTATED LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT

               This Amendment is made to that certain Amended and Restated
          Loan and Security Agreement between Gehl Company and its
          subsidiaries/divisions including but not limited to Hedlund
          Martin, Inc. and Gehl Power Products, Inc. (individually and
          collectively, "Gehl Company") and Deutsche Financial Services
          Corporation (formerly known as ITT Commercial Finance Corp.)
          ("DFS") dated as of October 1, 1994, as amended ("Agreement").

               FOR VALUE RECEIVED, DFS and Gehl Company agree as follows:

               1.   All references in the Agreement to "ITT: will be deemed
          to be references to "DFS".

               2.   Section 2.1(a) of the Agreement is hereby restated in
          its entirety to read as follows:

                    "(a) `Maximum Line of Credit':  In consideration of
                         Gehl Company's performance of its Obligations and
                         subject to Sections 3 and 4, DFS grants to Gehl
                         Company separate lines of credit of (a) SIXTY-
                         EIGHT MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES
                         DOLLARS ($68,500,000.00 U.S.) (the `U.S. Line'),
                         and (b) that fluctuating amount of Canadian
                         Dollars which, from day-to-day, shall equal, based
                         on the daily noon spot exchange rate of the Royal
                         Bank of Canada (the `Exchange Rate') SIX MILLION
                         FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS
                         ($6,500,000.00 U.S.) (the `Canadian line') for the
                         period commencing on the execution of this
                         Agreement until December 31, 1997.  Such lines of
                         credit are collectively called the `Maximum Line
                         of Credit'; loans under the U.S. Line are called
                         `U.S. Loans'; and loans under the Canadian Line
                         are called `Canadian Loans'.  U.S. Loans shall be
                         repayable only in United States Dollars and
                         Canadian Loans shall be repayable only in Canadian
                         Dollars.  Gehl Company agrees that for purposes of
                         determining loan availability and over-advance 
                         positions, all outstanding Canadian Loans shall be
                         valued daily, at the then current Exchange Rate
                         (for example:  if on January 1, Gehl Company
                         borrowed $8,500,000 Canadian which at the time was
                         equivalent to $6,500,000 U.S., and on January 3,
                         the Exchange Rate changed such that $8,500,000

                         Accounts, arising from sale payable in United

                         Company agrees that all reports, agings, records
                         and other information provided by it pursuant to

               3.   Section 2.1(b) of the Agreement is hereby restated in
          its entirety to read as follows:

                         ($25,000,000.00) of the U.S. Line."

               4.   The first sentence of Section 2.3 of the Agreement is
          hereby restated in its entirety to read as follows:

                    "Gehl Company acknowledges that DFS may, in its sole
                    discretion, make any Canadian Loan by causing its
                    Canadian affiliate, Deutsche Financial Services Canada
                    Corporation, or any other affiliate of DFS ("DFS
                    Canada") to fund or make advances of such loans on DFS'
                    behalf, or to make or continue such Canadian Loans
                    directly."

               All references in the Agreement to "ITT Canada" will be
          deemed to be references to "DFS Canada".

               5.   Section 4.2 of the Agreement is hereby restated in its
          entirety to read as follows:

                    "4.2 Available Credit.  On receipt of each Inventory
                         Schedule and Retail Account Schedule, DFS will
                         credit Gehl Company at the following percentages
                         of the net amount of the Eligible Inventory and
                         Eligible Retail Accounts, respectively, listed in
                         such Schedule:

                         Finished Goods                               75%
                         Service Parts                                25%
                         Eligible Retail Accounts (except Eligible
                              Repurchased Retail Accounts)            75%
                         Eligible Repurchased Retail Accounts         50%

                         DFS will loan Gehl Company, on request, such
                         amounts so credited or a part thereof as provided
                         by the terms of Section 2.1 and this section;
                         provided, however, that (i) the outstanding
                         principal balance of all advances or loans made on
                         Eligible Repurchased Retail Accounts will at no
                         time exceed One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00),
                         (ii) the aggregate outstanding principal balance
                         of all advances or loans made on Finished Goods
                         and Service Parts will at no time exceed Fourteen
                         Million Dollars ($14,000,000.00), and (iii) the
                         outstanding principal balance of all advances or
                         loans made on Eligible Retail Accounts (except
                         Eligible Repurchased Retail Accounts) will at no
                         time exceed Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000.00). 
                         No advances or loans need be made by DFS if Gehl
                         Company is in Default."

               6.   All other terms and provisions of the Agreement, to the
          extent not inconsistent with the foregoing, are ratified and
          remain unchanged and in full force and effect.
