   Statement.

                                     PART II

               INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

   Item 3.     Incorporation of Documents by Reference.

          The following documents filed by Gehl Company (the "Company") or
   the Gehl Savings Plan (the "Plan") with the Commission are hereby
   incorporated herein by reference:

          1.   The Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
   December 31, 1995, which includes certified financial statements as of and
   for the year ended December 31, 1995.

          2.   The Plan's Annual Report on Form 11-K for the year ended
   December 31, 1994, which includes certified financial statements as of and
   for the year ended December 31, 1994.

          3.   The description of the Company's Common Stock contained in
   Item 1 of the Company's Registration Statement on Form 8-A, dated November
   13, 1989, and any amendment or report filed for the purpose of updating
   such description.

          All documents subsequently filed by the Company or the Plan
   pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange
   Act of 1934, as amended, after the date of filing of this Registration
   Statement and prior to such time as the Company files a post-effective
   amendment to this Registration Statement which indicates that all
   securities offered hereby have been sold or which deregisters all
   securities then remaining unsold shall be deemed to be incorporated by
   reference in this Registration Statement and to be a part hereof from the
   date of filing of such documents.

   Item 4.     Description of Securities.

          Not applicable.

   Item 5.     Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

          Not applicable.

   Item 6.     Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

          Pursuant to the Wisconsin Business Corporation Law and the
   Company's By-laws, directors and officers of the Company are entitled to
   mandatory indemnification from the Company against certain liabilities and
   expenses (i) to the extent such officers or directors are successful in
   the defense of a proceeding and (ii) in proceedings in which the director
   or officer is not successful in defense thereof, unless it is determined
   that the director or officer breached or failed to perform his duties to
   the Company and such breach or failure constituted:  (a) a willful failure
   to deal fairly with the Company or its shareholders in connection with a
   matter in which the director or officer had a material conflict of
   interest; (b) a violation of the criminal law unless the director or
   officer had reasonable cause to believe his conduct was lawful or had no
   reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful; (c) a transaction
   from which the director or officer derived an improper personal profit; or
   (d) willful misconduct.  It should be noted that the Wisconsin Business
   Corporation Law specifically states that it is the public policy of
   Wisconsin to require or permit indemnification in connection with a
   proceeding involving securities regulation, as described therein, to the
   extent required or permitted as described above.  Additionally, under the
   Wisconsin Business Corporation Law, directors of the Company are not
   subject to personal liability to the Company, its shareholders or any
   person asserting rights on behalf thereof for certain breaches or failures
   to perform any duty resulting solely from their status as directors except
   in circumstances paralleling those in subparagraphs (a) through (d)
   outlined above.

          Expenses for the defense of any action for which indemnification
   may be available may be advanced by the Company under certain
   circumstances.

          The indemnification provided by the Wisconsin Business Corporation
   Law and the Company's By-laws is not exclusive of any other rights to
   which a director or officer may be entitled.

          The Company maintains a liability insurance policy for its
   directors and officers as permitted by Wisconsin law which may extend to,
   among other things, liability arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as
   amended.

   Item 7.     Exemption from Registration Claimed.

          Not Applicable.

                 amendments (included on the signature page to this
                 Registration Statement)

          The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to submit the Plan to
   the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") in a timely manner and will make all
   changes required by the IRS in order to qualify the Plan under Section 401
   of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

   Item 9.     Undertakings.

          (a)  The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

               (1)  To file, during any period in which offers or sales are
          being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration
          Statement:

               (i)   To include any prospectus required by
                     Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of
                     1933;

               (ii)  To reflect in the prospectus any facts or
                     events arising after the effective date of
                     the Registration Statement (or the most
                     recent post-effective amendment thereof)
                     which, individually or in the aggregate,
                     represent a fundamental change in the
                     information set forth in the Registration
                     Statement; and

               (iii) To include any material information with
                     respect to the plan of distribution not
                     previously disclosed in the Registration
                     Statement or any material change to such
                     information in the Registration Statement;

          provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not
          apply if the information required to be included in a post-
          effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic
          reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant
          pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange
          Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the Registration
          Statement.

               (2)   That, for the purpose of determining any liability
          under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective
          amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
          relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such
          securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide
          offering thereof.

               (3)   To remove from registration by means of a post-
          effective amendment any of the securities being registered which
          remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

          (b)  The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for
   purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933,
   each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or
   Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and each filing of
   the employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the
   Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in this
   Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
   relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such
   securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide
   offering thereof.

          (c)  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
   Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and
   controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing
   provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the
   opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is
   against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore,
   unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
   liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred
   or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in
   the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by
   such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the
   securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of
   its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit
   to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
   indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and
   will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

                                     PART II

               INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

   Item 3.     Incorporation of Documents by Reference.

          The following documents filed by Gehl Company (the "Company") or
   the Gehl Savings Plan (the "Plan") with the Commission are hereby
   incorporated herein by reference:

          1.   The Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
   December 31, 1995, which includes certified financial statements as of and
   for the year ended December 31, 1995.

          2.   The Plan's Annual Report on Form 11-K for the year ended
   December 31, 1994, which includes certified financial statements as of and
   for the year ended December 31, 1994.

          3.   The description of the Company's Common Stock contained in
   Item 1 of the Company's Registration Statement on Form 8-A, dated November
   13, 1989, and any amendment or report filed for the purpose of updating
   such description.

          All documents subsequently filed by the Company or the Plan
   pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange
   Act of 1934, as amended, after the date of filing of this Registration
   Statement and prior to such time as the Company files a post-effective
   amendment to this Registration Statement which indicates that all
   securities offered hereby have been sold or which deregisters all
   securities then remaining unsold shall be deemed to be incorporated by
   reference in this Registration Statement and to be a part hereof from the
   date of filing of such documents.

   Item 4.     Description of Securities.

          Not applicable.

   Item 5.     Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

          Not applicable.

   Item 6.     Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

          Pursuant to the Wisconsin Business Corporation Law and the
   Company's By-laws, directors and officers of the Company are entitled to
   mandatory indemnification from the Company against certain liabilities and
   expenses (i) to the extent such officers or directors are successful in
   the defense of a proceeding and (ii) in proceedings in which the director
   or officer is not successful in defense thereof, unless it is determined
   that the director or officer breached or failed to perform his duties to
   the Company and such breach or failure constituted:  (a) a willful failure
   to deal fairly with the Company or its shareholders in connection with a
   matter in which the director or officer had a material conflict of
   interest; (b) a violation of the criminal law unless the director or
   officer had reasonable cause to believe his conduct was lawful or had no
   reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful; (c) a transaction
   from which the director or officer derived an improper personal profit; or
   (d) willful misconduct.  It should be noted that the Wisconsin Business
   Corporation Law specifically states that it is the public policy of
   Wisconsin to require or permit indemnification in connection with a
   proceeding involving securities regulation, as described therein, to the
   extent required or permitted as described above.  Additionally, under the
   Wisconsin Business Corporation Law, directors of the Company are not
   subject to personal liability to the Company, its shareholders or any
   person asserting rights on behalf thereof for certain breaches or failures
   to perform any duty resulting solely from their status as directors except
   in circumstances paralleling those in subparagraphs (a) through (d)
   outlined above.

          Expenses for the defense of any action for which indemnification
   may be available may be advanced by the Company under certain
   circumstances.

          The indemnification provided by the Wisconsin Business Corporation
   Law and the Company's By-laws is not exclusive of any other rights to
   which a director or officer may be entitled.

          The Company maintains a liability insurance policy for its
   directors and officers as permitted by Wisconsin law which may extend to,
   among other things, liability arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as
   amended.

   Item 7.     Exemption from Registration Claimed.

          Not Applicable.

   Item 8.     Exhibits.

    (5)          Opinion of Foley & Lardner

                 amendments (included on the signature page to this
                 Registration Statement)

          The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to submit the Plan to
   the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") in a timely manner and will make all
   changes required by the IRS in order to qualify the Plan under Section 401
   of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

   Item 9.     Undertakings.

          (a)  The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

               (1)  To file, during any period in which offers or sales are
          being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration
          Statement:

               (i)   To include any prospectus required by
                     Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of
                     1933;

               (ii)  To reflect in the prospectus any facts or
                     events arising after the effective date of
                     the Registration Statement (or the most
                     recent post-effective amendment thereof)
                     which, individually or in the aggregate,
                     represent a fundamental change in the
                     information set forth in the Registration
                     Statement; and

               (iii) To include any material information with
                     respect to the plan of distribution not
                     previously disclosed in the Registration
                     Statement or any material change to such
                     information in the Registration Statement;

          provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not
          apply if the information required to be included in a post-
          effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic
          reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant
          pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange
          Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the Registration
          Statement.

               (2)   That, for the purpose of determining any liability
          under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective
          amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
          relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such
          securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide
          offering thereof.

               (3)   To remove from registration by means of a post-
          effective amendment any of the securities being registered which
          remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

          (b)  The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for
   purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933,
   each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or
   Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and each filing of
   the employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the
   Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in this
   Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
   relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such
   securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide
   offering thereof.

          (c)  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
   Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and
   controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing
   provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the
   opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is
   against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore,
   unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
   liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred
   or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in
   the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by
   such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the
   securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of
   its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit
   to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
   indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and
   will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
