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, 2000 and July 3, 1999 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.  Due in part to the seasonal nature of the Company's business, the
results of operations for the six months ended July 1, 2000 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, 1999 as
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

NOTE 2   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.

NOTE 3   INVENTORIES

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

NOTE 4   ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

   The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Investments and Hedging Activities" which was originally effective for fiscal
quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999.  The statement, as
amended by SFAS No. 137 and 138, will be effective January 1, 2001 for the
Company.  Due to the Company's current limited use of derivative instruments,
the adoption of this statement is not expected to materially affect the
Company's financial condition or results of operations.

NOTE 5   EARNINGS PER SHARE AND COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

   Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the
weighted- average number of common shares outstanding for the period.  Diluted
net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the
weighted-average number of common shares, and, if applicable, common stock
equivalents which would arise from the exercise of stock options.

   A reconciliation of the shares used in the computation of earnings per
share follows (in thousands):

   Accumulated other comprehensive loss is comprised entirely of minimum
pension liability adjustments.  Comprehensive income equaled net income for
the six months ended July 1, 2000 and July 3, 1999, as the minimum pension
liability amount did not change from the respective prior year-end amount.

NOTE 6   STOCK REPURCHASE

   In March 2000, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a repurchase plan
providing for the repurchase of up to an additional 325,000 shares of the
Company's outstanding common stock.  As of July 1, 2000, 102,400 shares had
been repurchased in the open market under this authorization at an aggregate
cost of $1.7 million.  In March 1999, a repurchase plan relating to up to
325,000 shares of the Company's outstanding common stock was authorized.  As of
April 1, 2000, all of the authorized shares under that plan had been
repurchased at an aggregate cost of $5.8 million.  The treasury stock acquired
by the Company has been cancelled and returned to the status of authorized but
unissued shares.

NOTE 7   BUSINESS SEGMENTS

   The Company operates in two business segments:  Construction equipment and
Agricultural equipment.  The long-term financial performance of the Company's
reportable segments are affected by separate economic conditions and cycles.
The segments are managed separately based on the fundamental differences in
their operations.  Following is selected segment information (in thousands):

Item 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND
FINANCIAL CONDITION

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended July 1, 2000 Compared to Three Months Ended July 3, 1999

   Net sales for the second quarter of 2000 of $77.5 million were 8% lower
than the $83.8 million in the comparable period of 1999.  Construction
equipment net sales decreased 5% to $48.9 million in the second quarter of
2000 from $51.3 million in the second quarter of 1999. In general, the
reduction in Construction equipment sales from the 1999 level was due
primarily to the impact of higher interest rates on construction activity,
especially in the U.S. housing sector; low equipment rental rates resulting in
the deferral of purchases of equipment by some of the Company's customers; and
changes in dealers' purchasing patterns, resulting in dealers deferring orders
until closer to time of use. With respect to specific product lines, shipments
of telescopic handlers for the second quarter of 2000 were below comparable
levels of 1999.  The Company believes that telescopic handler sales are more
closely tied to the U.S. housing construction market than any other
construction equipment product sold by the Company.  Although Construction
equipment sales were down, the Company did realize a positive contribution in
the second quarter of 2000 from shipments of new equipment, primarily mini-
excavators, introduced within the past twelve months.

   Agricultural equipment net sales decreased 12% in the second quarter of
2000 to $28.6 million from $32.5 million in the second quarter of 1999 due
primarily to lower shipments of forage harvesting equipment and manure
spreading equipment.  Partially offsetting these reductions was an increased
level of disc mower conditioner shipments as a result of new product offerings
in 2000. Higher interest rates; the continuation of low milk prices; regional
weather conditions; and the fact that dairy farmers purchased higher levels of
equipment in 1998 and 1999, in part due to the more favorable milk prices
experienced during those years, contributed to the overall decline in demand
for agricultural equipment by farmers.

   Of the Company's total net sales reported for the second quarter of 2000,
$9.5 million represented sales made outside of the United States compared with
$11.8 million in the comparable period of 1999.  The decrease in export sales
was due primarily to a reduction in shipments into the Canadian agricultural
market and decreased orders from Europe due to a decline in the value of the
Euro versus the U.S. dollar.

   Gross profit decreased $2.6 million, or 11%, during the second quarter of
2000 versus the comparable period of 1999, due primarily to decreased sales
volume.  Gross profit as a percent of net sales decreased to 27.7% for the
second quarter of 2000 from 28.8% in the comparable period of 1999.  Gross
profit as a percent of net sales for Construction equipment decreased to 25.6%
in the second quarter of 2000 from 27.5% in the second quarter of 1999.  The
decrease in Construction equipment gross margin was a function of a) decreased
telescopic handler sales, which sales are generally at higher gross margins
than other construction equipment, b) increased industry competition which has
resulted in overall gross margin compression, and c) increased mini-excavator
shipments, which sales are generally at lower gross margins than other
construction equipment.   Gross profit as a percent of net sales for
Agricultural equipment increased to 31.3% in the second quarter of 2000 from
30.8% in the comparable period of 1999.

   Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $989,000, or 8%,
during the second quarter of 2000 versus the comparable period of 1999, due
primarily to lower sales related costs.  As a percent of net sales, selling,
general and administrative expenses decreased slightly to 14.8% during the
second quarter of 2000 versus 14.9% in the comparable period of 1999.

   Income from operations in the second quarter of 2000 was $10.0 million
versus $11.6 million in the second quarter of 1999.

   Interest expense increased $614,000 to $1,391,000 in the second quarter of
2000 from $777,000 in the second quarter of 1999.  This resulted from an
increase in average debt outstanding to $61.0 million in the second quarter of
2000 versus $36.2 million in the second quarter of 1999, and an increase in
the average rate of interest paid by the Company to 8.6% in the second quarter
of 2000 versus 7.6% in the comparable period of 1999.

   Other expense increased $361,000 to $1,138,000 in the second quarter of
2000 from $777,000 in the second quarter of 1999.  This was caused by
increased costs of sales of finance contracts which resulted from a) selling
$4.3 million more receivables in the second quarter of 2000 versus the
comparable period in 1999, b) lower finance rates offered to Gehl finance
customers, and c) increased discount rates used in selling finance contracts
to third parties resulting from the general trend of overall interest rates.

   Second quarter 2000 net income was $5.1 million versus $6.8 million in the
second quarter of 1999.  Diluted earnings were $.90 per share for the second
quarter of 2000 versus $1.01 per share  in the second quarter of 1999.

Six Months Ended July 1, 2000 Compared to Six Months Ended July 3, 1999

   Net sales for the first six months of 2000 of $148.2 million were $4.6
million, or 3%, lower than the $152.8 million of net sales in the comparable
period of 1999.  Construction equipment net sales decreased 3% to $89.2
million in the first six months of 2000 from $91.6 million in the first six
months of 1999.  In general, the reduction in Construction equipment sales
from the 1999 level was due primarily to the impact of higher interest rates
on construction activity, especially in the U.S. housing sector; low equipment
rental rates resulting in the deferral of purchases of equipment by some of
the Company's customers; and changes in dealers' purchasing patterns, resulting
in dealers deferring orders until closer to time of use.  With respect to
specific product lines, shipments of telescopic handlers for the first six
months of 2000 were below comparable levels of 1999 which was reflective of a
reduction in retail sales activity of telescopic handers throughout the
industry for the first six months of 2000.  Although Construction equipment
sales were down, the Company did realize a positive contribution in the first
six months of 2000 from shipments of new equipment, primarily mini-excavators,
introduced within the past twelve months.

   Agriculture equipment net sales decreased 4% to $59.0 million in the first
six months of 2000 from $61.2 million in the first six months of 1999 due
primarily to reduced shipments of forage harvesting equipment. Partially
offsetting this reduction was an increased level of disc mower conditioner
shipments as a result of new product offerings in 2000. Higher interest rates;
continuation of low milk prices; regional weather conditions; and the fact
that dairy farmers purchased higher levels of equipment in 1998 and 1999, in
part due to the more favorable milk prices experienced during those years,
contributed to the overall decline in demand for agricultural equipment by
farmers.

   Of the Company's total net sales reported for the first six months of 2000,
sales made outside the United States of $20.3 million were comparable to the
level of international sales experienced in the first six months of 1999.

   As the Company has increased its sale of Construction equipment products,
the Company has been successful in reducing the seasonality of its sales.
However, some sales seasonality still remains, primarily in the Company's
second quarter which historically has tended to be its strongest quarter for
sales.

   Gross profit decreased $2.1 million, or 5%, in the first six months of 2000
versus the comparable period of 1999, due primarily to decreased sales volume.
Gross profit as a percent of net sales decreased to 27.5% for the first six
months of 2000 from 28.1% in the comparable period of 1999.  Gross profit as a
percent of net sales for Construction equipment decreased to 25.5% in the
first six months of 2000 from 27.1% in the first six months of 1999. The
decrease in Construction equipment gross margin was a function of a) decreased
telescopic handler sales, which sales are generally at higher gross margins
than other construction equipment, b) increased industry competition which has
resulted in overall gross margin compression, and c) increased mini-excavator
shipments, which sales are generally at lower gross margins than other
construction equipment.  Gross profit as a percent of net sales for
Agriculture equipment increased to 30.6% for the first six months of 2000 from
29.5% for the first six months of 1999, due in part to improved efficiencies
at the manufacturing plants.

   Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $1.8 million, or 7%,
during the first six months of 2000 versus the comparable period of 1999, due
primarily to lower selling related costs in 2000 versus 1999.  As a percent of
net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to 15.7%
during the first six months of 2000 versus 16.4% in the comparable period of
1999.

   Income from operations in the first six months of 2000 of $17.5 million was
2% lower than the $17.9 million for the comparable period of 1999.

   Interest expense increased $710,000 to $2.3 million in the first six months
of 2000 from $1.6 million in the first six months of 1999.  The increase was a
result of an increase in average debt outstanding to $51.2 million in the
first six months of 2000 versus $35.7 million in the comparable period of 1999
combined with an increase in the average rate of interest paid by the Company
to approximately 8.5% in the first six months of 2000 versus 7.7% in the
comparable period of 1999.

   Other expense increased $706,000 to $1,923,000 for the six months ended
July 1, 2000 from $1,217,000 for the six months ended July 3, 1999.  This was
caused by increased costs of sales of finance contracts which resulted from a)
selling $4.6 million more receivables in the first six months of 2000 versus
the same period in 1999, b) lower finance rates offered to Gehl finance
customers, and c) increased discount rates used in selling finance contracts
to third parties resulting from the general trend of overall interest rates.

   Net income was $9.2 million for the six months ended July 1, 2000 versus
$10.3 million for the six months ended July 3, 1999.  Because of the reduced
number of outstanding shares of Company stock as of July 1, 2000, compared to
July 3, 1999, resulting from stock repurchased by the Company during the
twelve month period, earnings per diluted share for the first six months of
2000 of $1.60 per share exceeded the $1.53 per diluted share reported for the
first six months of 1999.  Based upon the market conditions described above,
the Company expects earnings for the year ended December 31, 2000 to be less
than the earnings realized for the year ended December 31, 1999.

Financial Condition

   The Company's working capital of $99.4 million at July 1, 2000 increased
from $69.5  million at December 31, 1999, and $71.8 million at July 3, 1999
due primarily to increases in accounts and finance contracts receivable and
inventory.  The increase in inventories at July 1, 2000 compared to July 3,
1999 reflects the impact of new products offered since mid-1999 combined with
an inventory build-up resulting from the slowing sales trend.  The Company has
adjusted production levels in an attempt to reduce inventory in accordance
with current market demand.

   Capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment during the first six
months of 2000 were approximately $8.5 million.  The Company plans to make up
to $15 million in capital expenditures in 2000. Outstanding capital
expenditure commitments as of July 1, 2000 totaled approximately $3 million.

   As of July 1, 2000, the weighted-average interest rate paid by the Company
on outstanding borrowings under its line of credit facility was 8.5%.  The
Company had available unused borrowing capacity of $19.8 million, $49.8
million and $60.2 million under the line of credit facility at July 1, 2000,
December 31, 1999, and July 3, 1999, respectively.  At July 1, 2000, December
31, 1999, and July 3, 1999, the borrowings outstanding under the line of
credit facility were $53.3 million, $22.0 million and $13.4 million,
respectively.  The increased amounts outstanding under the line of credit
facility at July 1, 2000 were primarily the result of borrowings used to
repurchase Company stock, expand plant facilities and fund working capital
increases.

   The sale of finance contracts is an important component of the Company's
overall liquidity.  The Company has arrangements with several financial
institutions and financial service companies to sell, with recourse, its
finance contracts receivable.  The Company continues to service substantially
all contracts whether or not sold.  At July 1, 2000, the Company serviced
$127.3 million of such contracts, of which $101.5 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, 2000 was $103.2 million.  This was $1.3
million lower than the $104.5 million of shareholders' equity at July 3, 1999,
due primarily to the $22.1 million expended to repurchase Company stock from
July 4, 1999 to July 1, 2000 which was substantially offset by income earned
during the same period.

   In March 2000, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a repurchase plan
providing for the repurchase of up to an additional 325,000 shares of the
Company's outstanding common stock.  As of July 1, 2000, 102,400 shares had
been repurchased in the open market under this authorization at an aggregate
cost of $1.7 million.  In March 1999, a repurchase plan relating to up to
325,000 shares of the Company's outstanding common stock was authorized.  As of
April 1, 2000, all of the authorized shares under that plan had been
repurchased at an aggregate cost of $5.8 million.
