PART I

# Special Note Regarding
Forward-Looking Statements

Gehl
Company (the Company or Gehl) intends that certain matters
discussed in this Annual Report on Form 10-K are forward-looking statements
intended to qualify for the safe harbor from liability established by the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements other than statements of
historical fact are forward-looking statements. When used in this filing, words such as
the Company believes, anticipates, expects,
estimates or projects or words of similar meaning are generally
intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are not
guarantees of future performance and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties,
assumptions and other factors, some of which are beyond the Companys control that
could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated as of the date of
this filing. Factors that could cause such a variance include, but are not limited to,
those risk factors cited in Part I, Item 1A of this filing, any adverse change in general
economic conditions, unanticipated changes in capital market conditions, the
Companys ability to implement successfully its strategic initiatives (including cost
reduction initiatives), market acceptance of newly introduced products, unexpected issues
related to the pricing and availability of raw materials (including steel) and component
parts, unanticipated difficulties in securing product from third party manufacturing
sources, the ability of the Company to increase its prices to reflect higher prices for
raw materials and component parts, the cyclical nature of the Companys business, the
Companys and its customers access to credit, competitive pricing, product
initiatives and other actions taken by competitors, disruptions in production capacity,
excess inventory levels, the effect of changes in laws and regulations (including
government subsidies and international trade regulations), technological difficulties,
changes in currency exchange rates or interest rates, the Companys ability to secure
sources of liquidity necessary to fund its operations, changes in environmental laws, the
impact of any strategic transactions effected by the Company, and employee and labor
relations. Shareholders, potential investors, and other readers are urged to consider
these factors in evaluating the forward-looking statements and are cautioned not to place
undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements included
in this filing are only made as of the date of this filing, and the Company undertakes no
obligation to publicly update such forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events
or circumstances. In addition, the Companys expectations for the future, including
those listed in the 2008 Outlook below, are based in part on certain
assumptions made by the Company, including those relating to commodities prices, which are
strongly affected by weather and other factors and can fluctuate significantly, housing
starts and other construction activities, which are sensitive to, among other things,
interest rates and government spending, and the performance of the U.S. economy generally.
The accuracy of these or other assumptions could have a material effect on the
Companys ability to achieve its expectations.

# Item 1. Business

# Overview

The
Company is a leader in the design, manufacture and distribution of compact equipment for
construction and agriculture applications. Its compact equipment and related attachments
are primarily used in a variety of earthmoving and material handling applications where
space, mobility and manpower are at a premium. The Company also provides financing for its
dealers and their customers. The Company believes its products are recognized as providing
quality, reliability and performance to a loyal and growing customer base. It also
believes it is differentiated from other construction equipment manufacturers by its focus
on the growing compact equipment market, its extensive compact equipment-focused
distribution network, and its ability to offer a broad line of high-quality compact
equipment to a wide variety of customers. The Company was founded in 1859 and was
incorporated in the State of Wisconsin in 1890.

The
Company believes that it has one of the most extensive compact equipment-focused product
offerings in North America. Its compact equipment consists of skid loaders, telescopic
handlers, compact excavators, compact track loaders, all-wheel-steer loaders and asphalt
pavers. The Company also provides an assortment of related attachments, including pallet
forks, augers and backhoes, primarily for skid loaders. While the Company manufactures a
majority of the products it sells, it has also proactively established strategic alliances
with select European and Asian compact equipment manufacturers to distribute their
products under its brand names. These alliances further broaden the Companys product
offering and leverage its distribution network.

---

The
Company markets its products under the Gehl, Mustang and Edge brand names through its
network of independent dealers located primarily in North America and Europe. The
Companys dealers, which number in excess of 630 in North America along with
approximately 110 distributors in the rest of the world, sell its compact equipment and
attachments to contractors, sub-contractors, owner operators, rental stores, farmers,
landscapers and municipalities. Many of these dealers also operate their own rental
fleets. Over time, the Company has cultivated and built what it considers to be one of the
largest independent compact equipment distribution networks in North America. The Company
attempts to differentiate itself by offering dealers a comprehensive compact equipment
offering and allowing them to carry only the products which optimize their overall product
portfolio for their individually served markets. It also supports its dealer network by
providing floor plan, retail and rental fleet financing. It believes the combination of
its product offering and financing support provides a significant opportunity to continue
to expand sales to existing dealers and attract additional dealers in new territories.

The
Company manufactures its products at two facilities located in Yankton and Madison, South
Dakota, and it has selling and distribution facilities in Illinois, Minnesota, Wisconsin
and Germany. Also, under a license agreement with Manitou BF S.A., the worlds
largest manufacturer of telescopic handlers, the Company has the rights to manufacture and
distribute select models of Manitou telescopic handlers under the Gehl brand name for sale
in the United States.

# Discontinued Operations

In
March 2006, the Company decided to discontinue the manufacturing and distribution of its
agricultural implement products. The agricultural implement business included one
manufacturing facility and related manufacturing machinery and equipment. The reduction in
headcount totaled 140 employees, which included both manufacturing and administrative
positions related to the agricultural implement business. As a result of this action, the
Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes have been restated to present the
results of the agricultural implement product line as discontinued operations.

In
the fourth quarter of 2007, the discontinuation of the agricultural implement product line
was concluded and resulted in an after-tax charge to the Companys earnings for the
year ended December 31, 2007 of $0.3 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, which included
additional employee severance and related benefits costs.

For
the year ended December 31, 2006, the discontinuation of the agricultural implement
product line resulted in an after-tax charge of $7.8 million, or $0.63 per diluted share.
The cumulative after-tax charge is comprised of non-cash asset impairment charges of $5.9
million related to agricultural implement field and factory inventory and certain
property, plant and equipment, and cash charges related to severance and other employee
termination costs of $2.2 million.

The
Company has reflected the results of its agricultural implements product line as
discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Income and 2005 results have
been restated. Summary results of operations for the agricultural implements product line
were as follows (in thousands):

|                                  | Years ended December 31,

The
assets of the agricultural implements product line are reflected as net assets of
discontinued operations in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and were as follows (in
thousands):

|2007                                  
|--------------------------------------
|Accounts receivable, net              
|Inventories                           
|Property, plant, and equipment, net   
|                                      
|Assets of discontinued operations, net
|                                      

In
the three month period ended September 30, 2007, the Company reclassified property, plant
and equipment totaling $1.3 million from assets of discontinued operations to property,
plant and equipment  net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as the result of a
decision to renovate a discontinued manufacturing facility for use as a future research
and development facility.

# Marketing and
Distribution

The
Company markets its compact equipment in North America through approximately 630
independent dealers and internationally through approximately 110 distributors. The
Company markets its attachments through its dealer network as well as through non-Gehl or
Mustang dealers, catalogs and its Compact Equipment Attachments Inc. website. The
Companys top ten dealers and distributors of compact equipment accounted for
approximately 27% of the Companys consolidated   sales for the year ended December
31, 2007. One national account, Rental Service Corporation, accounted for approximately
11% of the Companys consolidated   sales for the year ended December 31, 2007.
Sales of the skid loader product line accounted for approximately 40%, 36% and 36% of the
Companys consolidated   sales in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Sales of the
telescopic handler product line accounted for approximately 32%, 33% and 26% of the
Companys consolidated   sales in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

The
Company believes that maintenance and expansion of its dealer network is important to its
ongoing success in the compact equipment market. Various forms of support are provided for
its equipment dealers, including world-wide sales and service training, and, in the United
States and Canada, floor plan financing for its dealers and retail financing for both its
dealers and their customers. The equipment dealers in North America are also supported by
district sales managers who provide a variety of services, including training, market
evaluation, business planning, equipment demonstrations and sales, and regional field
service representatives who assist in training and provide routine dealer service support
functions, including warranty and service assistance. The Company has a service agreement
with a vendor for a centralized parts distribution center located in Belvidere, Illinois.

# Industry and Competition

The
Company operates principally in the global compact equipment industry. Its equipment is
primarily used for earth moving, material handling and paving applications, particularly
in projects where space, mobility and manpower are at a premium. Sales in this market are
driven by activity in the residential, commercial and industrial construction, farming,
recycling and paving industries. The market for compact equipment is particularly
dependent on the level of light construction and repair projects such as residential and
light commercial building, landscaping and recycling. Job mechanization continues to drive
demand in the compact market as construction providers and farmers look to replace costly
manual labor with compact, affordable, multi-purpose machines.

The
Company primarily focuses on six compact equipment product categories: skid loaders,
telescopic handlers, compact excavators, compact track loaders, all-wheel-steer loaders
and asphalt pavers. It also provides an assortment of related attachments, including
pallet forks, augers and backhoes, primarily for skid loaders. The Company competes with
numerous companies in each of its served markets, primarily based on price, quality,
service and distribution. Its compact equipment product lines face competition in all of
the Companys markets. In general, each line competes with a small group of seven to
twelve different companies, some of which are larger than the Company.

The
primary markets for the Companys compact equipment outside of North America are in
Europe, Australia, Latin America, the Middle East and the Pacific Rim. The Company
believes it is a significant competitor in the skid loader market in most of these
markets.

# Backlog

The
backlog of unfilled equipment orders (which orders are subject to cancellation in certain
circumstances) as of December 31, 2007 was $39.6 million versus $51.6 million at December
31, 2006. Virtually all orders in the backlog at December 31, 2007, are expected to be
shipped in 2008. The decrease in the backlog is primarily attributable to a decrease in
lead times as a result of available industry manufacturing capacity for telescopic
handlers and available inventory in the market at December 31, 2007. This decrease is
being partially offset by increased demand for the Companys skid loaders in both
North America and internationally.

# Floor Plan and Retail
Financing

Floor Plan Financing

The
Company, as is typical in its industry, generally provides floor plan financing for its
dealers. Products shipped to dealers under the Companys floor plan financing program
are recorded by the Company as sales and the dealers obligations to the Company are
reflected as accounts receivable.

The
Company provides interest-free floor plan financing to its dealers for equipment for
varying periods of time, generally up to nine months. Dealers who sell products utilizing
floor plan financing are required to make immediate payment for those products to the
Company upon sale or delivery to the retail customer. At the end of the interest-free
period, if the equipment remains unsold to retail customers, the Company generally charges
interest to the dealer at approximately 3% above the prime rate or, on occasion, provides
an interest-free extension of up to three months upon payment by the dealer of a
curtailment of 25% of the original invoice price to the dealer. This type of floor plan
equipment financing accounts for approximately 82% of the Companys dealer accounts
receivable, with all such floor plan receivables required to be secured by a first
priority security interest in the equipment sold.

Retail Financing

The
Company also provides retail financing primarily to facilitate the sale of equipment to
end users. Additionally, a number of dealers purchase equipment which is held for rent to
the public. The Company also provides rental fleet financing to such dealers in connection
with these purchases. Retail financing in the United States is provided by the Company
primarily through Gehl Finance, the Companys finance division. Retail financing is
provided in Canada by third parties at rates subsidized by the Company.

The
Company maintains arrangements with third parties pursuant to which the Company sells
retail and rental fleet finance contracts through an asset securitization program and
limited recourse arrangements. The finance contracts require periodic installments of
principal and interest over periods of up to 72 months; interest rates are based on market
conditions. The majority of these contracts have maturities of 12 to 60 months. The
Company continues to service the finance contracts it sells, including cash collections.

Financial Condition and Results of Operations  Liquidity and Capital Resources

As
of December 31, 2007, the Company had 848 employees, of which 473 were hourly employees
and 375 were salaried employees. Currently none of the Companys employees are
represented by unions. There have been no labor-related work stoppages at the
Companys facilities during the past thirty-four years.

# Manufacturing and
Sourcing

The
Company manufactures its products at two efficient and flexible manufacturing facilities
located in South Dakota. In April 2006, the Company discontinued the manufacturing and
distribution of agricultural implements at its facility in West Bend, Wisconsin. In 2006,
the Company began a second expansion of its Yankton, South Dakota facility that increased
its manufacturing space by 28,100 square feet in addition to the expansion completed in
2005 that increased the facilitys size by 53,200 square feet. The Company has
further enhanced its manufacturing capabilities through significant investments in
painting systems, laser cutting equipment, robotic welding and other metal-forming
technologies. The Company believes its ongoing investment in operational efficiency
enhances its competitive cost position and operating margins.

The
Company has established key strategic relationships with leading compact equipment
manufacturers to market their products through the Companys distribution network
under the Gehl and Mustang brands. In July 2004, the Company announced a strategic
alliance with the French company Manitou BF S.A. to manufacture and distribute select
models of its market-leading compact telescopic handlers in the United States. Since 1999
the Company has had a distribution arrangement covering North and South America with
Wacker Neuson AG (formerly Neuson Kramer Baumaschinen AG), an Austrian and German
manufacturer of compact excavators and all-wheel-steer loaders. The Company also has a
strategic alliance with Takeuchi Mfg. Co., Ltd. based in Japan to distribute compact track
loaders in North and South America. In addition, most of the products in the
Companys wide assortment of attachments are sourced from other leading
manufacturers. The Company has actively expanded its attachment offerings in response to
the growing demand for product versatility. The Company periodically assesses its sourcing
relationships and believes these relationships allow the Company to capitalize on its
partners expertise to provide a broad offering of top-quality compact equipment and
attachments.

The
Company purchases many commodities, such as steel and rubber, as well as component parts,
including engines and axles through various sources. In most cases, the Companys raw
materials are sourced through multiple suppliers. Some of the Companys products are
designed to work only with particular components and, as a result, rely on a single source
of supply for certain components.

# Research and Development

The
Company attempts to maintain and strengthen its market position through internal new
product development and incremental improvements to existing products. The Companys
research and development is devoted to developing new products that meet specific customer
needs and to devising incremental improvements to existing products. Research and
development performed by the Company includes the designing and testing of new and
improved products as well as the fabrication of prototypes. The Company expended
approximately $4.5 million, $2.8 million and $2.6 million on research and development for
the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

# Patents and Trademarks

The
Company possesses rights under a number of domestic and foreign patents and trademarks
relating to its products and business. While the Company considers the patents, trademarks
and service marks important in the operation of its business, including Gehl®, Gehl
Finance®, Mustang®, Dynalift®, EDGE®, Hydraloc, Powerview®,
Power Protection Plan® and Select-A-Boom, the business of the Company is not
dependent, in any material respect, on any single patent or trademark or group of patents
or trademarks.

# Item 1A. Risk Factors

You
should carefully consider each of the risks described below, together with all of the
other information contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, before making an
investment decision with respect to our securities. If any of the following risks develop
into actual events, our business, financial condition or results from operations could be
materially and adversely affected and you may lose all or part of your investment.

# We operate in cyclical
industries, which could adversely affect our growth and results of operations.

Our
business depends upon general activity levels in the construction and agricultural
industries. Historically, these industries have been cyclical. As a result, our operating
profits are susceptible to a number of industry-specific factors, including:

| |  | prevailing
levels of construction, especially housing starts, and levels of industrial production;
| | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | public
spending on infrastructure;
| | - | ----------------------------------

| |  | market
interest rates and the availability of credit;
| | - | -----------------------------------------------------

| |  | volatility
of sales to rental companies;
| | - | ----------------------------------------

| |  | real
estate values;
| | - | -------------------

| |  | consumer
confidence;
| | - | --------------------

| |  | changes
in farm income and farmland value;
| | - | ------------------------------------------

| |  | the
level of worldwide farm output and demand for farm products;
| | - | ----------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | commodity
prices;
| | - | -----------------

| |  | energy
prices;
| | - | --------------

| |  | government
agricultural policies and subsidies;
| | - | -----------------------------------------------

| |  | animal
diseases and crop pests; and
| | - | -----------------------------------

| |  | weather.
| | - | --------

As
a result of these and other factors, including related effects on us and our
customers access to and cost of credit and dealer inventory management, a downturn
in demand for our products can occur suddenly, resulting in excess inventories,
under-utilized production capacity and reduced sales prices for our products. These
downturns may be prolonged and may result in lower net sales and earnings. Equipment
manufacturers, including us, have responded to downturns in the past by reducing
production and discounting product prices. These actions have resulted in restructuring
charges and lower earnings for us in past affected periods. In the event of future
downturns, we may take similar actions.

# Our dependence on, and
the price and availability of, raw materials and component parts may adversely affect our
profits.

We
are exposed to fluctuations in market prices for commodities, such as steel and rubber, as
well as component parts, including engines. In recent years, the prices of various raw
materials and component parts have increased significantly, and we have been unable to
avoid exposure to global price fluctuations and supply limitations, such as occurred in
2005, 2006 and 2007 with the cost and availability of steel and related products. In
addition, our products are designed to work with particular components. As a result, our
products, in certain cases, rely on a single source of supply for certain components. If
we are unable to purchase the raw materials and components we require or are unable to
pass on price increases to our customers, our future profitability may be adversely
affected.

7

---

# The construction and
agricultural industries in which we operate are competitive, and competitorsofferings
of new products or services  or lower prices could result in a decrease in our net sales
and earnings.

We
compete with global full-line suppliers (including Caterpillar Inc., Deere & Company,
Case Construction Equipment and Komatsu Ltd.) with a presence in every market and a broad
range of products as well as with product line specialists (including Oshkosh Corporation
(JLG), Doosan Infracore International(Bobcat) and Takeuchi Mfg. Co. Ltd.). Some of
our competitors are larger than us and have greater financial, manufacturing, marketing
and distribution resources. Competitive pricing, product initiatives and other actions
taken by our competitors could cause us to lose customers or force us to decrease our
sales prices, resulting in lower net sales and earnings.

# We source some of our
products from third parties and any interruption in the supply of these products could
adversely affect our  profitability.

We
source compact excavators, all-wheel-steer loaders and compact track loaders from
third-party foreign suppliers. Any interruption in the supply of these products or any
material increase in prices could adversely affect our net sales and profitability. We are
exposed to foreign currency risk with respect to the prices of these products. Any
material change in the value of the United States dollar versus other currencies could
adversely impact our profitability.

# Our success depends in
part on the introduction of new products, and the failure to introduce new products on a
timely basis could adversely affect our net sales and profitability.

Our
long-term results depend upon our ability to secure, introduce and market new products
successfully. Our success in this area will depend on a number of factors, including our
ability to develop new products internally or source new products from third-party
suppliers, product quality, competition, customer acceptance of new products and the
strength of our dealer networks. Any difficulties in developing or identifying and
sourcing new products, any manufacturing delays or problems with new product launches, or
any increased warranty costs from new products could adversely affect our operating
results. The introduction of new products could also result in a decrease in revenues from
our existing products. The internal development and refinement of products also consumes a
substantial amount of capital. We may need more capital for product development and
refinement than is available to us, which could adversely affect our net sales and
profitability.

# Cyclical and structural
declines in the demand for products we offer may cause us to undertake product line and
facility rationalization initiatives that could result in restructuring charges and lower
net sales and earnings.

The
construction and agricultural industries are continually evolving and undergoing cyclical
and structural changes that impact the demand for the products we offer. We have
historically reviewed these cyclical and structural changes in demand and have taken
action to rationalize our product offerings and production facilities in light of market
conditions. We expect to continue these reviews and to take appropriate action based on
future conditions. Those actions could result in restructuring charges and lower net sales
and earnings.

During
March 2006, we decided to discontinue the manufacturing and distribution of our
agricultural implement products. As a result, we recorded a $5.9 million after-tax
non-cash impairment charge related to agricultural implement field and factory inventory
and certain property, plant and equipment and a $2.2 million after-tax cash charge related
to severance and other termination costs. Of the charge, $0.3 million and $7.8 million was
recorded in 2007 and 2006, respectively. See Part II, Item 7. Managements
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations 
Discontinued Operations. If we incur additional unanticipated expenses associated
with the discontinuation of our implement product line, then our net income could be
adversely affected in future periods.

# Our leverage could
adversely affect our financial health and make us vulnerable to adverse economic and
industry conditions.

At
times, we may incur indebtedness that is substantial relative to our shareholders
equity. Our indebtedness has important consequences. For example, it could:

| |  | make
it difficult for us to fulfill our obligations under our credit agreement;
| | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | make
it more challenging for us to obtain additional financing to fund our business strategy,
debt service requirements, capital expenditures and working capital;
| | - | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | increase
our vulnerability to interest rate changes and general adverse economic and industry
conditions;
| | - | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | require
us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to service
indebtedness, thereby reducing the availability of cash flow to fund working capital,
capital expenditures, research and development efforts and other general corporate
activities;
| | - | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | limit
our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and markets; and
| | - | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | place
us at a competitive disadvantage relative to our competitors that have less debt.
| | - | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In
addition, our credit facility requires us to maintain specified financial ratios and
satisfy certain financial condition tests, which may require that we take action to reduce
our debt or to act in a manner contrary to our long-term business objectives.

# We are subject to risks
and associated changes in the business climate that could limit our access to capital.

Our
business is capital intensive and the fulfillment of our strategic plan depends, at least
in part, upon our ability to access capital at attractive rates and terms. If access to
capital becomes significantly constrained because of changes in the business climate or
other factors, then our results of operations and financial condition could be
significantly adversely affected.

# We are subject to
significant environmental, health and safety laws and regulations and related compliance
expenditures and   liabilities.

We
are subject to various laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment
and human health and safety and have incurred and will continue to incur capital and other
expenditures to comply with these regulations. If we fail to comply with any environmental
regulations, then we could be subject to future liabilities, fines or penalties or the
suspension of production at our manufacturing facilities. If unexpected obligations at
these or other sites or more stringent environmental laws are imposed in the future, our
future profitability may be adversely affected.

# Item 1B. Unresolved
Staff Comments

The
Company has no unresolved staff comments to report pursuant to Item 1B.

# Item 7.
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

# Overview

The
Companys net sales in 2007 of $457.6 million were $28.6 million, or 6%, below the
2006 net sales of $486.2 million. The Companys performance continued to be strong
despite weakness in the domestic residential construction market, driven by continued
market share gains, the value of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar, and the
underlying strength of the international construction markets during 2007.

Income
from operations in 2007 was $43.6 million, or 9.5% of net sales, compared with 2006 income
from operations of $46.1 million, or 9.5% of net sales.

Income
from continuing operations in 2007 was $24.9 million, or $2.00 per diluted share, compared
with $28.1 million, or $2.26 per diluted share in 2006.

The
Companys total assets increased to $407.3 million at December 31, 2007 from $365.1
million at December 31, 2006, and total outstanding debt increased to $71.6 million at
December 31, 2007 from $50.5 million at December 31, 2006. Both increases are primarily
due to increased retained interest in finance contracts sold through the Companys
securitization program.

# Discontinued Operations

In
March 2006, the Company decided to discontinue the manufacturing and distribution of its
agricultural implement products. The agricultural implement business included one
manufacturing facility and related manufacturing machinery and equipment. The reduction in
headcount totaled 140 employees, which included both manufacturing and administrative
positions related to the agricultural implement business. As a result of this action, the
Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes have been restated to present the
results of the agricultural implement product line as discontinued operations.

In
the fourth quarter of 2007, the discontinuation of the agricultural implement product line
was concluded and resulted in an after-tax charge to the Companys earnings for the
year ended December 31, 2007 of $0.3 million, or $0.02 per diluted share which included
additional employee severance and related benefits costs.

For
the year ended December 31, 2006 the discontinuation of the agricultural implement product
line resulted in an after-tax charge of $7.8 million, or $0.63 per diluted share. The
cumulative after-tax charge is comprised of non-cash asset impairment charges of $5.9
million related to agricultural implement field and factory inventory and certain
property, plant and equipment, and cash charges related to severance and other employee
termination costs of $2.2 million.

The
Company has reflected the results of its agricultural implements product line as
discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Income and 2005 results have
been restated. Summary results of operations for the agricultural implements product line
were as follows (in thousands):

|                                  | Years ended December 31,
|--------------------------------- | ------------------------

|                                 
|Loss from discontinued operations |                         
|                                 

16

---

The
assets of the agricultural implements product line are reflected as net assets of
discontinued operations in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and were as follows (in
thousands):

|2007                                  
|--------------------------------------
|Accounts receivable, net              
|Inventories                           
|Property, plant, and equipment, net   
|                                      
|Assets of discontinued operations, net
|                                      

In
the three month period ended September 30, 2007, the Company reclassified property, plant
and equipment totaling $1.3 million from assets of discontinued operations to property,
plant and equipment  net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as the result of a
decision to renovate a discontinued manufacturing facility for use as a future research
and development facility.

# Stock Repurchase Plan

On
October 26, 2007, the Companys Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase plan
providing for the repurchase of up to 1,000,000 shares of the Companys outstanding
common stock in open market or privately negotiated transactions. All treasury stock
acquired by the Company will be cancelled and returned to the status of authorized but
unissued. The plan does not have an expiration date. As of December 31, 2007, a total of
123,600 shares had been repurchased. The Companys Board of Directors terminated the
previous plan which was authorized in September 2001. The Company had repurchased an
aggregate of 227,850 shares of the 500,000 authorized shares under the previous plan.

# Results of Operations

# 2007 vs. 2006

Net Sales

Net
sales for 2007 were $457.6 million compared to $486.2 million in 2006, a decrease of $28.6
million, or 6%. The Companys performance continued to be strong despite weakness in
the domestic residential construction market, driven by continued market share gains, the
value of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar, and the underlying strength of
the international construction markets during 2007. Demand for the Companys skid
loaders was strong as total shipments of skid loaders increased 5% from 2006, including
shipments of skid loaders by the Companys European subsidiary, Gehl Europe. Sales
outside of the United States were $131.0 million, or 29% of total company sales, in 2007, an
increase of 31% versus the same period in 2006. Skid loader shipments outside of the U.S.
represented 44% of total company skid loader shipments in 2007, up from 34% in the prior
year.

While
industry retail demand in North America fell over 8% for skid loaders and 28% for
telescopic handlers, the Companys retail performance continued to reflect market
share gains as its skid loader retail settlements fell only 3% and its telescopic handler
retail activity declined only 9%. Decreased demand for compact track loaders and compact
excavators during 2007 resulted in sales decreases from 2006 of 27% and 17%, respectively.
Sales by the Companys attachment subsidiary, CE Attachments, Inc. were flat compared
to 2006. Partially offsetting the shipment information noted above, approximately 3.4
percentage points of the net sales increase was due to price increases during 2006 and
2007.

Of
the Companys total net sales reported for 2007, $131.0 million, or 29%, were made to
customers located outside of the United States compared with $100.2 million, or 21% in
2006.

Gross Profit

Gross
profit was $103.2 million in 2007 compared to $104.4 million in 2006, a decrease of $1.2
million, or 1%. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales (gross margin) was
22.6% for 2007 compared to 21.5% for 2006. Gross margin in 2007 was favorably impacted by
approximately 2.5 percentage points due to 2006 and 2007 price increases and approximately
1.2 percentage points due to decreases in the cost of steel and component parts. These
favorable impacts were partially offset by the impact of changes in product and customer
mix (approximately 2.2 percentage points), currency adjustments on foreign sourced
products (approximately 0.2 percentage points) and slightly lower plant efficiencies and
increased overhead spending (approximately 0.2 percentage points).

17

---

Selling, General and
Administrative Expenses

Selling,
general and administrative expenses were $59.6 million, or 13% of net sales, for 2007
compared to $58.3 million, or 12% of net sales, for 2006. The increase in spending is the
result of planned incremental spending in research and development and information
technology projects which totaled $2.5 million in 2007. In addition, due to the weakening
North American economy, the Company recorded an increase of $3.7 million in bad debt
reserves on its non-securitized finance contract portfolio. These increases in spending
were partially offset by items that vary with sales levels.

Income from Operations

Income
from operations for 2007 was $43.6 million, or 9.5% of net sales, compared to income from
operations of $46.1 million, or 9.5% of net sales, for 2006, a decrease of $2.5 million,
or 5%. The decrease in income from operations is primarily due to the planned incremental
spending in research and development and information technology projects as the 6%
decrease in net sales from 2006 was mostly offset by the increase in gross margin to 22.6%
from 21.5% in 2006. As a percentage of net sales, income from operations remained flat at
9.5% despite the planned incremental spending.

Interest Expense

Interest
expense was $4.7 million for 2007 compared to $3.6 million for 2006, an increase of $1.1
million, or 29%. The increase in interest expense was due to an increase in the average
outstanding debt during 2007 compared to 2006. See Liquidity and Capital
Resources below for a discussion of changes in outstanding debt.

Interest Income

Interest
income was $3.9 million for 2007 compared to $4.3 million for 2006, a decrease of $0.4
million, or 9%. The decrease in interest rates throughout 2007, as well as higher
utilization of programs offering low rate financing or extended terms was partially offset
by an increased average balance of accounts receivable and finance contracts receivable
compared to 2006. See Liquidity and Capital Resources below for a discussion
of the changes in the balance of finance contracts receivable and accounts receivable.

Other Expense, net

The
Company recorded net other expense of $5.5 million and $3.9 million in 2007 and 2006,
respectively. The increase in net other expense was primarily due to $0.3 million of
foreign currency gains recorded during 2007 compared to $0.8 million of foreign currency
gains recorded in 2006. In addition, the company recorded an increase in expected losses
within the securitized finance contract portfolio as a result of the weakening North
American economy, of $2.6 million. See notes 5 and 12 in Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements.

Provision for Income Taxes

The
Companys effective income tax rate was 33.2% in 2007 and 34.5% in 2006. The decrease
in the effective tax rate was primarily due to a $0.9 million increase in the Domestic
Manufacturing Deduction due to a rate increase from 3% to 6% and a $0.2 million increase
in the research and development credit as a result of the increased spending discussed
above. In addition, the Company reduced the valuation allowance related to state net
operating losses by $0.5 million in 2007.

Income from Continuing
Operations

Income
from continuing operations in 2007 was $24.9 million, or 5.5% of net sales, compared to
income from continuing operations of $28.1 million, or 5.8% of net sales, in 2006, a
decrease of $3.1 million, or 11%. Diluted income per share from continuing operations were
$2.00 in 2007 compared to $2.26 in 2006.

18

---

Loss from Discontinued
Operations, Net of Tax

The
Company recorded a loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, of $0.3 million in 2007
compared to a loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, of $0.8 million in 2006.

Loss on Disposal of
Discontinued Operations, Net of Tax

The
Company recorded a $0.3 million and $7.8 million loss on the disposal of discontinued
operations, net of tax, in 2007 and 2006, respectively. See Discontinued
Operations above for additional discussion.

Net Income

Net
income was $24.4 million in 2007, or 5% of net sales, compared to net income of $19.5
million in 2006, or 4% of net sales, an increase of $4.9 million, or 25%. The 2007 and
2006 net income included the $0.3 million and $7.8 million loss on disposal of
discontinued operations noted above. Diluted net income per share was $1.96 in 2007
compared to $1.57 in 2006. The 2007 net income includes the previously discussed $0.3
million or $0.02 per diluted share loss on disposal of discontinued operations and the
2006 net income includes the previously discussed $7.8 million, or $0.63 per diluted
share, loss on disposal of discontinued operations.

# 2006 vs. 2005

Net Sales

Net
sales for 2006 were $486.2 million compared to $447.0 million in 2005, an increase of
$39.3 million, or 9%. Net sales, in general, were favorably impacted by market share gains
and the solid fundamentals of the Companys global markets during 2006. International
demand for the Companys skid loaders was strong as total shipments of skid loaders
increased 5% from 2005, including shipments of skid loaders by the Companys European
subsidiary, Gehl Europe. Telescopic handler shipments in 2006 increased 34% from 2005 as
demand from larger rental customers remained strong through most of 2006. These increases
were partially offset by decreased demand for compact track loaders and compact excavators
during 2006 that resulted in sales decreases from 2005 of 1% and 9%, respectively. The
Companys attachment subsidiary, CE Attachments, Inc. increased sales 7% from 2005.
In addition to the increased shipments noted above, approximately 2.4 percentage points of
the net sales increase was due to price increases during 2005 and 2006.

Of
the Companys total net sales reported for 2006, $100.2 million, or 21% were made to
customers residing outside of the United States compared with $72.9 million, or 16% in
2005. The increase in export sales was primarily due to increased sales in Europe.

Gross Profit

Gross
profit was $104.4 million in 2006 compared to $92.3 million in 2005, an increase of $12.1
million, or 13%. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales (gross margin) was
21.5% for 2006 compared to 20.6% for 2005. Gross margin in 2006 was favorably impacted by
approximately 1.7 percentage points due to 2005 and 2006 price increases and approximately
1.1 percentage points due to improved plant efficiencies and reduced overhead spending.
These favorable impacts were partially offset by the impact of changes in product mix
(approximately 1.3 percentage points) and increases in the cost of steel and component
parts (approximately 0.6 percentage points).

Selling, General and
Administrative Expenses

Selling,
general and administrative expenses were $58.3 million, or 12% of net sales, for 2006
compared to $53.4 million, or 12% of net sales, for 2005. The increase in spending is
primarily the result of items that vary with sales levels, as well as compensation expense
of $1.1 million, or 0.2% of net sales, related to the expensing in 2006 of stock-based
awards pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement No.
123R. Selling, general and administrative expenses in 2006 also included a fourth quarter
charge of $1.1 million for an accounts receivable reserve related to a customer account
currently in collection. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of
net sales remained flat in 2006 despite the fourth quarter accounts receivable charge and
the expense recorded under FASB Statement No. 123R as the growth in net sales more than
exceeded expense increases.

Income from Operations

Income
from operations for 2006 was $46.1 million, or 9.5% of net sales, compared to income from
operations of $38.8 million, or 8.7% of net sales, for 2005, an increase of $7.3 million,
or 19%. The increase in income from operations is primarily due to the 9% increase in net
sales from 2005 and the increase in gross margin to 21.5% from 20.6% in 2005. The
favorable impact of these increases was partially offset by an increase in selling,
general, and administrative expenses including a $1.1 million accounts receivable reserve
and $1.1 million of expense related to stock based awards pursuant to FASB Statement No.
123R.

Interest Expense

Interest
expense was $3.6 million for 2006 compared to $5.5 million for 2005, a decrease of $1.8
million, or 33%. The decrease in interest expense was due to a decrease in the average
outstanding debt during 2006 compared to 2005. See Liquidity and Capital
Resources below for a discussion of changes in outstanding debt.

Interest Income

Interest
income was $4.3 million for both 2006 and 2005. The increase in accounts receivable and
interest rates throughout 2006 was offset by a decreased average balance of finance
contracts receivable compared to 2005. See Liquidity and Capital Resources
below for a discussion of the changes in the balance of finance contracts receivable and
accounts receivable.

Other Expense, net

The
Company recorded net other expense of $3.9 million and $4.3 million in 2006 and 2005,
respectively. The decrease in net other expense was primarily due to a $0.8 million
decrease in costs incurred with the implementation of the asset securitization programs
that occurred during 2006 and 2005 as well as $0.8 million of foreign currency gains
recorded during 2006 compared to a minimal loss recorded in 2005. These impacts were
partially offset by a $1.4 million increase in the cost of selling finance contracts,
which in 2005 included a $0.4 million realized gain on the termination of interest rate
swap contracts the Company had previously put in place to hedge the gain/loss on sale of
finance contracts. See notes 5 and 12 in Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements. The Company sold $234.7 million of contracts during 2006 compared to
$220.8 million during 2005.

Income from Continuing
Operations

Income
from continuing operations in 2006 was $28.1 million, or 5.8% of net sales, compared to
income from continuing operations of $22.1 million, or 5.0% of net sales, in 2005, an
increase of $5.9 million, or 27%. The 2006 income from continuing operations includes the
previously discussed accounts receivable pre-tax charge of $1.1 million. Diluted income
per share from continuing operations was $2.26 in 2006 compared to $2.00 in 2005.

Loss from Discontinued
Operations, Net of Tax

The
Company recorded a loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, of $0.8 million in 2006
compared to a loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, of $0.3 million in 2005.

Loss on Disposal of
Discontinued Operations, Net of Tax

The
Company recorded a $7.8 million loss on the disposal of discontinued operations, net of
tax, in 2006. See Discontinued Operations above for additional discussion.

Net Income

Net
income was $19.5 million in 2006, or 4% of net sales, compared to net income of $21.8
million in 2005, or 5% of net sales, a decrease of $2.3 million, or 11%. The 2006 net
income included the $7.8 million loss on disposal of discontinued operations noted above.
Diluted net income per share was $1.57 in 2006 compared to $1.97 in 2005. The 2006 net
income includes the previously discussed accounts receivable reserve charge after-tax of
$0.7 million, or $.06 per diluted share, and the $7.8 million, or $0.63 per diluted share,
loss on disposal of discontinued operations.

# Liquidity and Capital
Resources

Working Capital

The
Companys working capital increased to $207.6 million at December 31, 2007 from
$201.5 million twelve months earlier. The increase was primarily the result of an increase
in current retained interest in finance contracts receivable sold through the
securitization program, offset, in part, by an increase in short-term borrowings as a
result of a $25.0 million increase in the Companys commercial paper arrangement. See
Short-term Borrowings for additional discussion.

The
Companys working capital decreased to $201.5 million at December 31, 2006 from
$212.6 million twelve months earlier. The decrease was primarily the result of a decrease
in finance contracts receivable and assets of discontinued operations and an increase in
short-term borrowings, offset, in part, by an increase in accounts receivable and
inventories.

Accounts Receivable and
Inventories

The
Companys accounts receivable increased $2.9 million to $190.4 million at December
31, 2007. The increase in accounts receivable was due to a higher percentage of total
company net sales to national accounts which carry longer terms. The Companys
inventories increased $0.4 million to $49.1 million at December 31, 2007. The increase in
inventories was primarily due to the timing of receipts and distribution of products
manufactured by third parties which are distributed by the Company.

The
Companys accounts receivable increased $28.9 million to $187.6 million at December
31, 2006. The increase in accounts receivable was due to the 9% increase in net sales
during 2006, which was primarily driven by strong demand for skid loaders and telescopic
handlers. The Companys inventories increased $9.5 million to $48.6 million at
December 31, 2006. The increase in inventories was primarily due to the timing of receipts
and distribution of products manufactured by third parties which are distributed by the
Company.

Finance Contracts
Receivable

Finance
contracts receivable decreased $3.7 million to $4.7 million at December 31, 2007. The
decrease is primarily the result of an increase in the allowance for doubtful accounts in
2007 resulting from a decline in financial market conditions from 2006. See Off
Balance Sheet Arrangements  Sales of Finance Contracts Receivable for
additional discussion.

Finance
contracts receivable decreased $26.2 million to $8.4 million at December 31, 2006. The
Company had been holding ineligible finance contracts for a sale under a new asset
securitization program from the fourth quarter of 2005 through February 2006. Upon
finalizing the asset securitization program in March 2006, the Company began selling the
previously ineligible contracts, as well as contracts originated after the inception of
the program, through the asset securitization program, which resulted in a decrease in the
balance of finance contracts receivable from December 31, 2005.

Short-term Borrowings

During
the fourth quarter of 2006, the Company began to issue commercial paper through a
placement agent to fund a portion of its short term working capital needs. The Company had
the ability to sell up to $25.0 million in commercial paper under this arrangement. In
April 2007, this arrangement was expanded to give the Company the ability to sell up to
$50.0 million in commercial paper. The Companys commercial paper program is backed
by the credit commitment under the Companys revolving credit facility. At December
31, 2007, the Company had $50.0 million of short term commercial paper outstanding at a
rate of 5.07% compared to $25.0 million outstanding at December 31, 2006 at a rate of
5.45%.

The
Company expended $6.4 million for property, plant and equipment in 2007, the majority of
which was incurred to expand the Yankton manufacturing facility and upgrade machinery and
equipment. The Company plans to make up to $23.5 million in capital expenditures in 2008,
including $7.7 million to complete the renovations and equipment purchases for the
research and development facility, $8.3 million to begin the first phases of a new office
building, and additional spending to enhance manufacturing and information technology
capabilities and maintain and upgrade machinery and equipment.

At
December 31, 2007, shareholders equity had increased $30.2 million to $261.0 million
from $230.8 million a year earlier. This increase primarily reflects the impact of the
2007 net income of $24.4 million, $4.7 million related to benefit plan adjustments, $0.7
million related to the exercise of stock options, $1.9 million related to share based
compensation and $1.8 million related to currency translation. These increases were
partially offset by $2.3 million related to the repurchase of stock.

On
October 26, 2007, the Companys Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase plan
providing for the repurchase of up to 1,000,000 shares of the Companys outstanding
common stock in open market or privately negotiated transactions. All treasury stock
acquired by the Company will be cancelled and returned to the status of authorized but
unissued. The plan does not have an expiration date. As of December 31, 2007, a total of
123,600 shares had been repurchased. The Companys Board of Directors terminated the
previous plan which was authorized in September 2001. The Company had repurchased an
aggregate of 227,850 shares of the 500,000 authorized shares under the previous plan.

At
December 31, 2006, shareholders equity had increased $22.3 million to $230.8 million
from $208.5 million a year earlier. This increase primarily reflects the impact of the
2006 net income of $19.5 million, $1.6 million related to the exercise of stock options,
$1.6 million related to share based compensation and $1.1 million related to currency
translation, offset in part by an adjustment of $3.7 million for FASB No. 158,
Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit Plans and Other Postretirement
Plansan amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R).

Borrowing Arrangements

The
Company maintains a $125 million unsecured revolving credit facility (the
Facility) with a syndicate of commercial bank lenders. The credit commitment
under the Facility is for a five-year period expiring October 17, 2011. At any time during
the term of the Facility, the Company has the option to request an increase in the credit
commitment under the Facility to $175 million from the current syndicate of commercial
bank lenders or any other commercial bank lender(s) selected by the Company. Under the
terms of the Facility, the Company has pledged the capital stock of certain wholly-owned
subsidiaries which are all co-borrowers. The Company may borrow up to $25 million under
the Facility in a currency other than the U.S. Dollar. The Company may elect to pay
interest on U.S. Dollar borrowings under the Facility at a rate of either (1) the London
Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus 0.625% to 1.3750% or (2) a base rate
defined as the prime commercial rate less 0.125% to 1.125%. The Companys actual
borrowing costs for LIBOR or base rate borrowings is determined by reference to a pricing
grid based on the Companys ratio of funded debt to total capitalization. Interest on
amounts borrowed under the Facility in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar will be
priced at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 0.625% to 1.375%. As of December 31, 2007, the
weighted average interest rate on Company borrowings outstanding under the Facility was
5.99%. The Facility requires the Company to maintain compliance with certain financial
covenants related to total capitalization, interest expense coverage, tangible net worth,
capital expenditures and operating lease spending. The Company was in compliance with all
covenants as of December 31, 2007.

22

---

Borrowings
under the Facility were $21.1 million at December 31, 2007 versus $24.7 million a year
earlier. Available unused borrowings under the Facility were $53.9 million at December 31,
2007 versus $75.1 million a year earlier. Available borrowings at December 31, 2007 and
2006 were reduced by $50.0 million and $25.0 million, respectively, of outstanding
commercial paper as discussed in Short-term Borrowings above.

In
May 2006, the Company entered into a $10 million committed line of credit facility with a
commercial bank lender. Borrowings under this facility accrued interest at 1.15% above the
LIBOR for 30 day deposits reset monthly and are secured by a first priority lien on an
assigned pool of retail finance contracts receivable. This facility expired on April 30,
2007.

In
addition, the Company has access to a 2.5 million committed foreign short-term
credit facility. There were no borrowings outstanding under this facility at December 31,
2007 and 2006.

The
Company believes it has adequate capital resources and borrowing capacity to meet its
projected capital requirements for the foreseeable future. Requirements for working
capital, capital expenditures, pension fund contributions and debt maturities in fiscal
2008 will continue to be funded by operations and the Companys borrowing
arrangements.

Contractual Obligations

A
summary of the Companys significant contractual obligations as of December 31, 2007
are as follows (in thousands):

|Total Contractual Obligations
|                             

Debt
obligations do not include interest payments on the outstanding debt balance as the
timing of such payments cannot be reasonably estimated. In addition, required pension
contributions have been included for certain periods but cannot be reasonably estimated
beyond 2012 and management has not included its FIN 48 liability costs as the timing of a
payment, if any, cannot be reasonably estimated.  As of December 31, 2007, $3.1
million has been recorded as a FIN 48 liability.  Refer to Note 10 of the
accompanying Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Off-Balance Sheet
Arrangements  Sales of Finance Contracts Receivable

The
sale of finance contracts is an important component of the Companys overall
liquidity. In March 2006, the Company entered into an asset securitization facility
(the Securitization Facility) with a financial institution (the
Purchaser) whereby the Company can sell, through a revolving securitization
facility, up to $300 million of retail and fleet installment sale contracts
(installment sale contracts or finance contracts receivable). The
Securitization Facility has a final maturity date in March 2009, subject to annual renewal
by the Purchaser. Under the Securitization Facility, the Company sells portfolios of its
finance contracts receivable to a wholly-owned, bankruptcy-remote special purpose
subsidiary (SPE) which, in turn, sells each such portfolio to a wholly-owned
bankruptcy-remote special purpose subsidiary of the SPE. The wholly-owned
bankruptcy-remote special purpose subsidiary of the SPE sells a participating interest in
each such portfolio of finance contracts receivable to the Purchaser (approximately 73% of
the discounted value of the finance contract receivable portfolio). The Purchaser has no
recourse against the Company for uncollectible finance contracts receivable, if any;
however, the Companys retained interest in the portfolio of finance contracts
receivable is subordinate to the Purchasers interest. The Securitization Facility
replaced the previous $150 million revolving securitization facility the Company
terminated in February 2006. The participating interest in finance contracts receivable
that had been sold under the previous securitization facility was purchased by the
Purchaser in March 2006. At December 31, 2007, the Company had available unused capacity
of $97.6 million under the Securitization Facility. As of December 31, 2007, due to
weakening credit markets, the Company is operating under a reservation of rights agreement
as it renegotiates facility triggers within the agreement.

23

---

In
addition to the Securitization Facility, the Company has arrangements with multiple
financial institutions to sell its finance contracts receivable with 5% limited recourse
on the sold portfolio of finance contracts. The Company continues to service substantially
all contracts, whether or not sold. At December 31, 2007, the Company serviced $373.8
million of finance contracts receivable of which $277.8 million, $66.1 million and $9.6
million were sold through the Securitization Facility, limited recourse arrangements and
full recourse arrangements, respectively. It is the intention of the Company to continue
to sell substantially all of its existing as well as future finance contracts receivable
through an asset securitization program or limited recourse arrangements. The Company
believes that it will be able to arrange sufficient capacity to sell its finance contracts
for the foreseeable future.

# Accounting Pronouncements

In
September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 157, Fair Value Measurements(SFAS
157). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value
and expands disclosures about fair value measurements, but does not change existing
guidance as to whether or not an instrument is carried at fair value. SFAS 157 is
effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. In February 2008, the FASB
decided to issue a final Staff Position to allow a one-year deferral of adoption of SFAS
157 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are recognized or disclosed
at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis.  The FASB also
decided to amend SFAS 157 to exclude FASB Statement No. 13 and its related interpretive
accounting pronouncements that address leasing transactions. The Company is currently
evaluating the impact, if any, of implementing SFAS 157 on the consolidated financial
statements.

In
February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 159,
The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
(SFAS 159). SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial
instruments and certain other items at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items
for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings. SFAS 159 is
effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently
evaluating the impact, if any, of implementing SFAS 159 on the consolidated financial
statements.

In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R)Business
Combinations,which is a revision of SFAS No. 141. SFAS 141(R) retains the
fundamental requirements in SFAS No. 141 that the acquisition method of accounting be used
for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business
combination. This statement includes changes in the measurement of fair value of the
assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree
as of the acquisition date, with limited exceptions. This statement requires in general
that transaction costs and costs to restructure the acquired company be expensed and
contractual contingencies be recorded at their acquisition-date fair values. Companies are
required to adopt the new standard prospectively for fiscal periods beginning on or after
December 15, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of this
standard on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

In
December 2007, the FASB released Statement No. 160 (SFAS 160),
Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of
ARB No. 51. Under SFAS No. 160, consolidated financial statements will be
presented as if the parent company investors (controlling interests) and other minority
investors (non-controlling interests) in partially-owned subsidiaries have similar
economic interests in a single entity. As a result, the investment in the non-controlling
interest, previously recorded between liabilities and equity (the mezzanine),
will be reported as equity in the parent companys consolidated financial statements,
subsequent to the adoption of SFAS No. 160. Furthermore, consolidated financial statements
will include 100% of a controlled subsidiarys earnings, rather than only the parent
companys share. Lastly, transactions between the parent company and non-controlling
interests will be reported in equity as transactions between shareholders, provided that
these transactions do not create a change in control. Previously, acquisitions of
additional interests in a controlled subsidiary generally resulted in remeasurement of
assets and liabilities acquired; dispositions of interests generally resulted in a gain or
loss. Management is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS No. 160 on the
Companys financial statements. Presently, there are no significant non-controlling
interests in any of the Companys consolidated subsidiaries. Therefore, the Company
is currently believes that the impact of SFAS No. 160, if any, will primarily depend on
the materiality of non-controlling interests arising in future transactions, including
those entered into during 2008, to which the financial statement presentation and
disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 160 will apply.

24

---

In
July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB
Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes  an
interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48), which prescribes a
recognition threshold and measurement process for recording, in the financial statements,
uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. In addition, FIN 48
provides guidance on the recognition, classification, accounting in interim periods and
disclosure requirements for uncertain tax positions. The Company adopted FIN 48 effective
January 1, 2007. The impact of the adoption on the Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements as of January 1, 2007, was an increase in total assets of $0.4 million, an
increase in total liabilities of $0.9 million and a decrease in shareholders equity
of $0.5 million.

In
September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 158,
Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit Plans and Other Postretirement
Plansan amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R) (SFAS
No. 158), which requires employers to fully recognize the obligations associated
with single-employer defined benefit pension, retiree healthcare and other postretirement
plans in their financial statements.  In addition, SFAS No. 158 requires companies to
measure plan assets and liabilities as of the end of a fiscal year rather than a date
within 90 days of the end of the fiscal year.  The Company adopted SFAS No. 158
effective December 31, 2006, except for the change in measurement date provisions which
are not effective until 2008. The impact of the adoption at December 31, 2006, was a
decrease in total assets of $0.4 million, an increase in total liabilities of $5.3 million
and a decrease in shareholders equity, net of tax, of $3.7 million. The change in
measurement date provision will be adopted effective January 1, 2008. The impact of the
adoption will be an increase in total liabilities of $0.2 million, an increase in total
assets of $0.1 million and a decrease in shareholders equity, net of tax, of $0.1
million.

# Critical Accounting
Policies and Estimates

The
preparation of the Companys consolidated financial statements requires the Company
to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities,
net sales and expenses. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on
various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the
results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets
and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may
differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions and materially
impact the carrying value of the assets and liabilities. The Company believes the
following accounting policies are critical to the Companys business operations and
the understanding of the Companys results of operations and financial condition.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The
Companys accounts receivable are reduced by an allowance for amounts that may be
uncollectible in the future. In circumstances where the Company is aware of a specific
customers inability to meet its financial obligations, a specific reserve for bad
debts is recorded against the accounts receivable balance to reduce the amount due to the
net amount reasonably expected to be collected. Additionally, a general percentage of
outstanding receivables is reserved, based on the Companys past experience of
collectibility. If circumstances change (i.e., higher than expected defaults or an
unexpected material adverse change in a major customers ability to meet its
financial obligations), estimates of the recoverability of amounts due could be reduced by
a material amount.

25

---

Inventories

Inventories
are valued at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is determined using the last-in,
first-out (LIFO) method for the majority of the Companys inventories. In valuing
inventory, management is required to make assumptions regarding the level of reserves
required to value potentially obsolete or slow moving items to the lower of cost or market
value. Inventory reserves are established taking into account inventory age and frequency
of use or sale. While calculations are made involving these factors, significant
management judgment regarding expectations for future events is involved. Future events
that could significantly influence managements judgment and related estimates
include general economic conditions in markets where the Companys products are sold,
as well as new products and design changes introduced by the Company.

Accrued Warranty

The
Company establishes reserves related to the warranties provided on its products. Specific
reserves are maintained for programs related to known machine safety and reliability
issues. When establishing specific reserves, estimates are made regarding the size of the
population, the type of program, costs to be incurred and estimated participation.
Additionally, general reserves are maintained based on the historical percentage
relationships of warranty costs to machine sales and applied to current equipment sales.
If these estimates and related assumptions change, reserve levels may require adjustment.

Accrued Product Liability

The
Company records a general reserve for potential product liability claims based on the
Companys prior claim experience and specific reserves for known product liability
claims. Specific reserves for known claims are valued based upon the Companys prior
claims experience, including consideration of the jurisdiction, circumstances of the
accident, type of loss or injury, identity of plaintiff, other potential responsible
parties, analysis of outside counsel, and analysis of internal product liability counsel.
Actual product liability costs could be different due to a number of variables, including
decisions of juries or judges.

Goodwill Impairment

In
connection with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, the
Company is required to perform goodwill impairment reviews, at least annually, using a
fair-value-based approach. The Company performs its annual impairment review as of
December 31. As part of the annual impairment review, an estimate of the fair value of the
Company, primarily by using a discounted cash flow analysis, is performed. Significant
assumptions used in this analysis include: expected future revenue growth rates, operating
profit margins, working capital levels and a weighted average cost of capital. Changes in
assumptions could significantly impact the estimate of the fair value of the Company,
which could result in a goodwill impairment charge and could have a significant impact on
the consolidated financial statements.

Pension and Postretirement
Benefits

Pension
and postretirement benefit costs and obligations are dependent on assumptions used in
calculation of these amounts. These assumptions include discount rates, expected return on
plan assets for funded plans, rate of salary increases, health care cost trend rates,
mortality rates and other factors. In accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States, actual results that differ from the actuarial assumptions
are accumulated and amortized to future periods and therefore affect recognized expense
and recorded obligations in future periods. While the Company believes that the
assumptions used are appropriate, differences in actual experience or changes in
assumptions may materially effect its financial position or results of operations.

Retained Interest
Valuation

The
valuation of retained interest in finance contracts sold through the Companys
Securitization Facility is dependent on several assumptions used in the modeling of the
valuation. These assumptions include the discount rate, expected prepayments and
delinquencies, estimated unused fees, future advance rates, future interest costs,
expected losses and estimated future net service fee income. The valuation of the retained
interest is completed quarterly in compliance with SFAS No. 140, Accounting for
Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities.
While the Company believes that the assumptions used are appropriate, differences in
actual experience or changes in assumptions may materially effect its financial position
or results of operations.

# 2008 Outlook

The
Company does not anticipate that North American housing conditions will improve
appreciably in 2008. While the Company anticipates continued growth in the international
markets, current forecasts anticipate that the North American compact equipment markets
will decline 10% to 30% in 2008, varying by product category. The Companys backlog
as of February 22, 2008 of $95.9 million was up $56.3 million, or 142%, from the December
31, 2007 backlog level of $39.6 million.

Based
on current 2008 market forecasts, current Company backlog position, new product acceptance
rate, targeted market share gains and field inventory adjustments, the Company expects
2008 net sales to be in the range of $405 million to $425 million. The Company intends to
continue to reduce North American field inventory levels in 2008 to position dealer
inventory levels in advance of new product introductions in 2009. Gross margin in 2008 is
expected to decline due to a change in product mix, increasing commodity costs, primarily
steel, and lower production volumes compared to 2007. In addition, operating expenses will
increase due to planned incremental investments in product research and development,
information technology projects and programs designed to enhance dealer communication
totaling approximately $3.2 million. The Company expects income per share from continuing
operations of $0.95 to $1.20 in 2008. The Company anticipates generating operating cash
flow of $40 million to $60 million driven by decreases in field and factory inventory.

# Item 7A. Quantitative
and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

# Market Risk

The
Company is exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates as well as fluctuations
in currency. See further disclosure relating to variable rate debt under
Managements Discussion and Analysis and Results of Operations  Liquidity
and Capital Resources  Borrowing Arrangements included in Item 7 of this Form
10-K.

# Interest Rate Risk

The
Companys exposure to interest rates relates primarily to outstanding floating
variable rate borrowings that price off short-term market interest rates and the
Companys retained interest in securitized finance contracts receivable.

The
Companys Facility is primarily LIBOR-based and is subject to interest rate changes.
In order to manage interest rate exposures that result from floating rate debt, the
Company entered into, in the fourth quarter of 2005, an interest rate swap agreement with
a major financial institution to exchange variable rate interest obligations for fixed
rate obligations without the exchange of the underlying principal amounts. Effective
January 2006, under this agreement, the Companys variable to fixed rate obligations
are an aggregate swapped notional amount of $40 million through January 2008. The
aggregate notional amount of the swap decreases to $30 million effective January 2008, $20
million effective January 2009, $10 million effective January 2010 and expires in January
2011. The Company pays a 4.89% fixed interest rate under the swap agreement and receives a
30 day LIBOR variable rate. The reference 30 day LIBOR rate was 4.60% at December 31,
2007.

The
variable to fixed interest rate swap is an effective cash-flow hedge to the extent of its
notional amount. The fair value of the swap is recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheet,
with changes in fair value included in other comprehensive income (loss). Swap gains or
losses included in other comprehensive income (loss) are reclassified into earnings at the
time the related interest expense is recognized or settlement of the obligation occurs. A
10% increase or decrease in the average cost of the Companys variable rate debt
would result in a change in pre-tax interest expense of approximately $0.4 million based
on borrowings outstanding at December 31, 2007.

In
connection with the Companys Securitization Facility, the Company and the SPE are
parties to interest rate swap agreements to manage the SPEs interest rate exposure
from floating rate debt. The term and notional balances of the swap agreements are matched
to the anticipated repayment profile of the aggregate portfolio of securitized finance
contracts. Effective December 31, 2007, the Companys variable to fixed rate
obligations are an aggregate swapped notional balance of $267.0 million decreasing over
time to $0 by December 31, 2013. As of December 31, 2007, the Company pays a fixed rate of
5.015% under the swaps (which adjusts monthly) and receives a 30 day LIBOR variable rate.
The reference 30 day LIBOR rate was 4.63% at December 31, 2007. The swaps are deemed
ineffective under the provisions of SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities. Accordingly, changes in fair value are
recognized in earnings each period as part of the Companys retained interest
valuation. At December 31, 2007, the Companys retained interest calculation was
reduced by $5.4 million as a result of the swap liability.

27

---

The
Companys retained interest calculation is based on the present value of estimated
future cash flows which is affected by interest paid on the underlying capital advance. A
10% increase or decrease in the average cost of the SPEs floating rate capital
advance would result in a pre-tax change in the valuation of the Companys retained
interest of approximately $1.4 million based on the total portfolio of securitized finance
contracts at December 31, 2007.

# Commodity Risk

The
Company is exposed to fluctuations in market prices for commodities, especially steel. The
Company has established arrangements to manage the negotiations of commodity prices and,
where possible, to limit near-term exposure to fluctuations in certain raw material
prices.

# Currency Risk

The
Company has limited exposure to foreign currency exchange fluctuations. Certain sales are
made in Canadian dollars; however, to minimize this exposure, the Company borrows in
Canadian dollars under the Facility. The Company purchases certain inventory components
and finished goods from suppliers in Europe and Japan. To the extent the U.S. dollar
strengthens or weakens against the Euro or the Yen, the Companys purchase price
could be affected under risk sharing mechanisms in certain supply agreements. From time to
time the Company has entered into contracts to hedge a portion of its currency risk
associated with supply agreements which do not contain currency risk sharing mechanisms.

In
September 2007, the Company entered into a series of forward currency contracts
(forward contracts) to hedge a portion of the Companys exposure to
changes in the value of the U.S Dollar versus the Euro as a result of Euro denominated
purchase commitments. The forward contracts expire between June 16, 2008 and December 15,
2008 and have a notional amount of 6.0 million ($8.4 million) and contract rates
ranging from 1.0:$1.4003 to 1.0:$1.4014. As the contracts are deemed
ineffective under the provisions of SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities, the Company recorded a current liability and an
increase to other expense of $0.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2007.

# Managements
Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The
Companys management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate
internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and
15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Companys internal control
over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for
external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States.

Because
of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or
detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future
periods are subject to risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in
conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may
deteriorate.

The
Companys management assessed the effectiveness of the Companys internal
control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007 using the criteria set forth in
Internal Control  Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, the Companys
management concludes that, as of December 31, 2007, the Companys internal control
over financial reporting was effective based on those criteria.

The
Companys internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007 has
been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting
firm, as stated in their report that appears herein.

# Report of Independent
Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and
Shareholders of Gehl Company:

In
our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the accompanying index
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Gehl Company and its
subsidiaries at December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of their operations and their
cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007 in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In
addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule listed in the accompanying
index presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein when
read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements. Also in our
opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over
financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on criteria established in Internal
Control  Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of
the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Companys management is responsible for these
financial statements and financial statement schedule, for maintaining effective internal
control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal
control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Managements Annual
Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express
opinions on these financial statements, on the financial statement schedule, and on the
Companys internal control over financial reporting based on our integrated audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the
audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was
maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit
of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of
internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness
exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal
control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other
procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

As
described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed the
manner in which it accounts for employee pension benefits and share based compensation in
2006.

A
companys internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide
reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation
of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. A companys internal control over financial reporting includes
those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in
reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the
assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are
recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the
company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors
of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely
detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the companys assets
that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because
of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or
detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future
periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in
conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may
deteriorate.

accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and
balances are eliminated.

Use
of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
estimates and assumptions, in certain circumstances, which affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts
of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Ultimate realization of assets and
settlement of liabilities in the future could differ from those estimates.

Revenue
Recognition: The Company recognizes revenue when all of the following criteria are
met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; delivery has occurred and ownership has
transferred to the dealer or distributor; the price to the dealer or distributor is fixed
and determinable; and collectibility is reasonably assured. The Company meets these
criteria for revenue recognition upon shipment of products to dealers and distributors.

Shipping
and Handling Costs:  The Company records revenues and costs associated with
shipping its products within net sales and cost of goods sold, respectively.

Discounts
and Sales Incentives: The Company classifies the costs associated with discounts and
sales incentives provided to dealers and distributors as a reduction of net sales.
Discounts are recorded upon shipment and sales incentives are recorded when offered.

Accounts
Receivable: The Company provides financing for its North American dealers. The
financing agreements provide for, in certain instances, interest-free periods which
generally range from four to nine months.

Finance
Contracts Receivable: The Company offers term financing for its products to North
American retail customers and to its North American dealers. Finance contracts require
periodic installments of principal and interest over periods of up to 72 months.

Inventories:
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by the last-in,
first-out (LIFO) method for the majority of the Companys inventories.

Properties
and Depreciation: Properties are stated at cost. When properties are sold or otherwise
disposed of, cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts
and any gain or loss is included in income. The Company provides for depreciation of
assets using the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes and accelerated
methods for income tax purposes. Depreciation is recorded using the following estimated
useful lives for financial statement purposes:

|                             
|-----------------------------
|Buildings                    
|Machinery and equipment      
|Autos and trucks             
|Office furniture and fixtures
|                             

Expenditures
which substantially increase value or extend asset lives are capitalized. Expenditures for
maintenance and repairs are charged against income as incurred.

The
Company reviews the carrying value of long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An
impairment would be determined based on a comparison of the undiscounted future operating
cash flows anticipated to be generated during the remaining life of the long-lived assets
to the carrying value. Measurement of any impairment loss would be based on discounted
operating cash flows.

Goodwill
and Other Intangible Assets: Goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite
lives are not amortized; however, such assets must be tested for impairment at least
annually. Amortization is recorded for other intangible assets with definite lives. The
Company is subject to financial statement risk in the event that goodwill becomes
impaired.

Foreign
Currency Transactions: Foreign currency transaction gains and (losses) are included in
the determination of income. Foreign currency (losses) gains were $297,000, $899,000 and
$(104,000) in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Foreign
Currency Translation: Assets and liabilities of the Companys foreign subsidiary
are translated at current exchange rates, and related revenues and expenses are translated
at the weighted-average exchange rates in effect for the year. Net exchange gains or
losses resulting from the translation of foreign financial statements and the effect of
exchange rate changes on intercompany transactions of a long-term investment nature are
accumulated and credited or charged directly to a separate component of shareholders
equity, titled Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss.

Income
Taxes: The Company follows the liability method in accounting for income taxes. The
liability method provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities be recorded based on
the difference between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts
for financial reporting purposes.

Product
Liability Costs: The Company directly assumes all liability for costs associated with
claims up to specified limits in any policy year. Known incidents involving the
Companys products are investigated and reserves are established for any estimated
liability.

Environmental
Costs: Environmental expenditures that relate to current operations are expensed or
capitalized as appropriate. Expenditures that relate to an existing condition caused by
past operations, and that do not contribute to current or future revenue generation, are
expensed. Liabilities are recorded when environmental assessments and/or remedial efforts
are probable, and the costs can be reasonably estimated.

Research
and Development Costs: Costs for research activities relating to product development
and improvement are charged against income as incurred. Such costs amounted to
approximately $4.5 million, $2.8 million and $2.6 million in 2007, 2006 and 2005,
respectively.

Other
Income (Expense): Other income (expense) is comprised primarily of foreign currency
transaction gains (losses), cost of sales of finance contracts, and other non-operating
items.

Comprehensive
Income: Comprehensive income is defined as the sum of net income and all other
non-owner changes in equity (or accumulated other comprehensive loss). The components of
accumulated other comprehensive loss were as follows (net of tax) (in thousands):

|2007                                               
|---------------------------------------------------
|Unrecognized pension losses and prior service costs
|Currency translation adjustments                   
|Unrealized (losses) gains                          
|                                                   
|Accumulated other comprehensive loss

Stock-Based
Compensation: Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 123R, Share-Based Payment
(SFAS No. 123R) using the modified prospective method, in which compensation
cost was recognized beginning with the effective date based on the requirements of SFAS
No. 123R for all share-based payments granted after the effective date and all awards
granted to employees prior to the effective date of SFAS No. 123R that were unvested on
the effective date.

Prior
to adopting SFAS No. 123R, as permitted under SFAS No. 123, Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS No. 123), the Company elected to follow
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees (APB No. 25), and related interpretations in accounting for
stock-based awards to employees through December 31, 2005. Accordingly, compensation cost
for stock options and restricted stock grants was measured as the excess, if any, of the
market price of the Companys common stock at the date of grant over the exercise
price. All employee stock options were granted at the grant day market price resulting in
no compensation cost for prior periods. All stock-based compensation expense prior to the
adoption of SFAS No. 123R related to restricted stock grants. See Note 3,
Stock-Based Compensation, for more information.

Accounting
Pronouncements: In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 157, Fair Value Measurements(SFAS
157). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value
and expands disclosures about fair value measurements, but does not change existing
guidance as to whether or not an instrument is carried at fair value. SFAS 157 is
effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. In February 2008, the FASB
decided to issue a final Staff Position to allow a one-year deferral of adoption of SFAS
157 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are recognized or disclosed
at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis.  The FASB also
decided to amend SFAS 157 to exclude FASB Statement No. 13 and its related interpretive
accounting pronouncements that address leasing transactions. The Company is currently
evaluating the impact, if any, of implementing SFAS 157 on the consolidated financial
statements.

In
February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 159,
The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
(SFAS 159). SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial
instruments and certain other items at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items
for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings. SFAS 159 is
effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently
evaluating the impact, if any, of implementing SFAS 159 on the consolidated financial
statements.

In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R) Business Combinations,
which is a revision of SFAS No. 141. SFAS 141(R)
retains the fundamental requirements in SFAS No. 141 that the acquisition method of
accounting be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for
each business combination. This statement includes changes in the measurement of fair
value of the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interest in
the acquiree as of the acquisition date, with limited exceptions. This statement requires
in general that transaction costs and costs to restructure the acquired company be
expensed and contractual contingencies be recorded at their acquisition-date fair values.
Companies are required to adopt the new standard prospectively for fiscal periods
beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact,
if any, of this standard on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

In
December 2007, the FASB released Statement No. 160 (SFAS 160),
Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of
ARB No. 51. Under SFAS No. 160, consolidated financial statements will be presented as if
the parent company investors (controlling interests) and other minority investors
(non-controlling interests) in partially-owned subsidiaries have similar economic
interests in a single entity. As a result, the investment in the non-controlling interest,
previously recorded between liabilities and equity (the mezzanine), will be
reported as equity in the parent companys consolidated financial statements,
subsequent to the adoption of SFAS No. 160. Furthermore, consolidated financial statements
will include 100% of a controlled subsidiarys earnings, rather than only the parent
companys share. Lastly, transactions between the parent company and non-controlling
interests will be reported in equity as transactions between shareholders, provided that
these transactions do not create a change in control. Previously, acquisitions of
additional interests in a controlled subsidiary generally resulted in remeasurement of
assets and liabilities acquired; dispositions of interests generally resulted in a gain or
loss. Management is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS No. 160 on the
Companys financial statements. Presently, there are no significant non-controlling
interests in any of the Companys consolidated subsidiaries. Therefore, the Company
currently believes that the impact of SFAS No. 160, if any, will primarily depend on the
materiality of non-controlling interests arising in future transactions, including those
entered into during 2008, to which the financial statement presentation and disclosure
provisions of SFAS No. 160 will apply.

In
July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in
Income Taxes  an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN
48), which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for recording,
in the financial statements, uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a
tax return. In addition, FIN 48 provides guidance on the recognition, classification,
accounting in interim periods and disclosure requirements for uncertain tax positions. The
Company adopted FIN 48 effective January 1, 2007. The impact of the adoption on the
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of January 1, 2007, was an increase in
total assets of $0.4 million, an increase in total liabilities of $0.9 million and a
decrease in shareholders equity of $0.5 million.

In
September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 158,
Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit Plans and Other Postretirement
Plansan amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R) (SFAS
No. 158), which requires employers to fully recognize the obligations associated
with single-employer defined benefit pension, retiree healthcare and other postretirement
plans in their financial statements.  In addition, SFAS No. 158 requires companies to
measure plan assets and liabilities as of the end of a fiscal year rather than a date
within 90 days of the end of the fiscal year.  The Company adopted SFAS No. 158
effective December 31, 2006, except for the change in measurement date provisions which
are not effective until 2008. The impact of the adoption at December 31, 2006, was a
decrease in total assets of $0.4 million, an increase in total liabilities of $5.3 million
and a decrease in shareholders equity, net of tax, of $3.7 million. The change in
measurement date provision will be adopted effective January 1, 2008. The impact of the
adoption will be an increase in total liabilities of $0.2 million, an increase in total
assets of $0.1 million and a decrease in shareholders equity, net of tax, of $0.1
million.

Discontinued Operations

In
March 2006, the Company decided to discontinue the manufacturing and distribution of its
agricultural implement products. The agricultural implement business included one
manufacturing facility and related manufacturing machinery and equipment. The reduction in
headcount totaled 140 employees, which included both manufacturing and administrative
positions related to the agricultural implement product line. As a result of this action,
the Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes have been restated to present the
results of the agricultural implement business as discontinued operations.

In
the fourth quarter of 2007, the discontinuation of the agricultural implement product line
was concluded and resulted in an after-tax charge to the Companys earnings for the
year ended December 31, 2007 of $0.3 million, or $0.02 per diluted share which included
additional employee severance and related benefits costs.

For
the year ended December 31, 2006 the discontinuation of the product line resulted in an
after-tax charge of $7.8 million, or $0.63 per diluted share. The cumulative after-tax
charge is comprised of non-cash asset impairment charges of $5.9 million related to
agricultural implement field and factory inventory and certain property, plant and
equipment, and cash charges related to severance and other employee termination costs of
$2.2 million.

|Assets of discontinued operations, net
|                                      

During
the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company reclassified property, plant and equipment
totaling $1.3 million from assets of discontinued operations to property, plant and
equipment  net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as the result of a decision to
renovate a discontinued manufacturing facility for use as a future research and
development facility.

Stock-Based Compensation

The
Company maintains equity incentive plans for certain of its directors, officers and key
employees. The Company currently has three primary equity incentive plans: the 2004 Equity
Incentive Plan, the 2000 Equity Incentive Plan, and the 1995 Stock Option Plan. The 2004
Equity Incentive Plan, which was adopted in April 2004 and amended in April 2006,
authorizes the granting of awards with respect to up to 737,500 shares of the
Companys common stock. During April 2000, the 2000 Equity Incentive Plan was
adopted, which authorizes the granting of awards with respect to up to 812,771 shares of
the Companys common stock. An award is defined within the 2004 and 2000 Equity
Incentive Plan as a stock option, stock appreciation right, restricted stock or
performance share. In April 1996, the 1995 Stock Option Plan was adopted, which authorizes
the granting of options to purchase up to 726,627 shares of the Companys common
stock. These plans provide that options be granted at an exercise price not less than fair
market value on the date the options are granted and that the options generally vest
ratably over a period not exceeding three years after the grant date. The option period
may not be more than ten years after the grant date.

Following
is a summary of option activity in the equity incentive plans for 2007:

In
2007, 2006 and 2005, the Company awarded stock options to certain key employees. Awards of
stock options under the plans are subject to certain vesting requirements. There were
21,000, 129,284 and 24,000 stock options awarded in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively,
with a weighted average fair market value of $11.59, $13.80 and $13.90 per share,
respectively. The aggregate intrinsic value of the options exercised during the years
ended December 31, 2007, December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 totaled $0.7 million,
$3.9 million and $3.3 million, respectively.

In
2007, 2006 and 2005, the Company awarded restricted shares under the 2004 Equity Incentive
Plan to certain key employees. Awards of restricted stock under the plan are subject to
certain vesting requirements. There were 26,118, 26,257 and 5,250 restricted shares
awarded in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively, with an average fair market value of $26.71,
$34.04 and $29.05 per share. Compensation expense related to restricted stock awards is
based upon the market price at the date of award and is charged to earnings over the
vesting period. Compensation expense related to the awarding of restricted shares was
$897,597, $478,790 and $232,000 for 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Effective
January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123R which establishes
accounting for equity instruments exchanged for employee services. Under the provisions of
SFAS No. 123R, share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on a
calculated fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the
employees requisite service period (vesting period of the equity grant). Prior to
January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for share-based compensation to employees in
accordance with APB No. 25 and related interpretations. The Company also followed the
disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 as amended by SFAS No. 148, Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation  Transition and Disclosure (SFAS No.
148). The Company elected to adopt the modified prospective transition method as
provided by SFAS No. 123R and, accordingly, financial statement amounts for the prior
periods presented in this Form 10-K have not been restated to reflect the fair value
method of expensing share-based compensation.

The
Company estimates the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes valuation model.
Key input assumptions used to estimate the fair value of stock options include the
exercise price of the award, the expected option term, the expected volatility of the
Companys stock over the options expected term, the risk-free interest rate
over the options expected term, and the Companys expected annual dividend
yield. The Company believes that the valuation technique and the approach utilized to
develop the underlying assumptions are appropriate in calculating the fair values of the
Companys stock options granted during the ended December 31, 2007. Estimates of fair
value are not intended to predict actual future events or the value ultimately realized by
persons who receive equity awards.

The
fair value of the option grants during the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005
were estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the
following assumptions:

|                              
|------------------------------
|December 31, 2007             
|Expected option term (1)      
|Expected volatility factor (2)
|Risk-free interest rate (3)   
|Expected annual dividend yield

|(1) | The
option terms for 2007 and 2006 grants were determined using historical
               exercise data including all exercises occurring during the last ten year
period.                The option term for 2005 was determined using the simplified
method for                estimating option life under Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107
Share-Based                Payment, which expresses the SEC staffs
views regarding the                interaction between SFAS No. 123R and certain SEC
rules including the valuation                of share-based payments.
|--- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(2) | The
stock volatility for each grant is based on the historical volatility of the
               Companys common stock over the most recent period equal to the
expected                option life of the grant.
|--- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(3) | The
risk-free interest rate for periods equal to the expected term of the share
               option is based on the 4.5-year U.S. Treasury Strip Rate for 2007 and 2006
and                the 7-year U.S. Treasury Strip Rate for 2005 in effect at the date of
the grant.
|--- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For
the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company recognized pre-tax compensation
expense of $1.0 million and $1.1 million, respectively, related to unvested stock options.
The after tax impact totaled $0.7 million in both 2007 and 2006, or $0.05 and $0.06 per
diluted share, respectively. As of December 31, 2007 there was $1.6 million of total
unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested share-based compensation arrangements
granted under the Companys equity incentive plans. That cost is expected to be
recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.4 years.

The
Company did not recognize compensation expense for employee share-based awards for the
year ended December 31, 2005, as the exercise price of the Companys employee stock
awards equaled the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant. The Company
did recognize compensation expense under APB No. 25 relating to certain restricted stock
grants as the grants have no exercise price.

The
Company had previously adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123 as amended by SFAS No. 148
through disclosure only. The following table illustrates the effects on net income and
earnings per share as if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of
SFAS No. 123 to share based employee awards (in thousands, except per share data).

The
Company retains as collateral a security interest in the equipment associated with
accounts receivable.

# Note 5  Finance
Contracts Receivable

Unsold
finance contracts receivable were comprised of the following (in thousands):

|2007                           
|-------------------------------
|Finance contracts receivable   
|allowance for doubtful accounts
|                               
|                               
|Less: non-current portion

|Current portion                
|                               

The
unsold finance contracts receivable at December 31, 2007 have a weighted-average interest
rate of approximately 5.8%. The Company retains as collateral a security interest in the
equipment associated with unsold finance contracts receivable. The Company also maintains
certain levels of dealer recourse deposits as additional security associated with finance
contracts receivable. The dealer recourse deposits totaled $2.2 million and $2.3 million
at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

In
March 2006, the Company entered into an asset securitization facility (the
Securitization Facility) with a financial institution (the Purchaser)
whereby the Company can sell, through a revolving securitization facility, up to $300
million of retail and fleet installment sale contracts (installment sale
contracts or finance contracts receivable). The Securitization Facility
has a final maturity date in March 2009, subject to annual renewal by the Purchaser. Under
the Securitization Facility, the Company sells portfolios of its finance contracts
receivable to a wholly-owned, bankruptcy-remote special purpose subsidiary
(SPE) which, in turn, sells each such portfolio to a wholly-owned
bankruptcy-remote special purpose subsidiary of the SPE. The wholly-owned
bankruptcy-remote special purpose subsidiary of the SPE sells a participating interest in
each such portfolio of finance contracts receivable to the Purchaser (approximately 73% of
the discounted value of the finance contract receivable portfolio). The Purchaser has no
recourse against the Company for uncollectible finance contracts receivable, if any;
however, the Companys retained interest in the portfolio of finance contracts
receivable is subordinate to the Purchasers interest. The Company has retained
collection and administrative responsibilities for each sold portfolio of finance
contracts receivable. In 2006, the Company incurred one-time transaction costs of $0.7
million, which are included in other expense in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of
Income, related to the implementation of the Securitization Facility.

The
Securitization Facility replaced the previous $150 million revolving securitization
facility the Company terminated in February 2006. The participating interest in finance
contracts receivable that had been sold under the previous securitization facility was
purchased by the Purchaser in March 2006.

The
following summarizes the Companys sales of retail finance contracts receivable
through the asset securitization facilities (in thousands):

|2007                               
|-----------------------------------
|Value of contracts sold            
|Cash received on sales of contracts
|                                   
|Retained interest in contracts sold
|                                   
|Cost of sales of finance contracts 
|                                   

The
Companys retained interest is recorded at fair value, which is calculated based on
the present value of estimated future cash flows and reflects prepayment and loss
assumptions, which are based on expected results using historical results. At December 31,
2007, the fair value of the retained interest was calculated using an interpolated
risk-free rate of return of 3.05% based on U.S. Treasury rates, an approximate 17 month
weighted-average prepayable portfolio life and an approximate 1.7% loss rate. Changes in
any of these assumptions could affect the calculated value of the retained interest. A 10%
increase in the discount rate would decrease the fair value of the retained interest by
$0.3 million. A 10% increase in the loss rate would decrease the fair value of the
retained interest by $0.5 million. Retained interest of $47.7 million was included in
retained interest in sold finance contracts receivable as part of current assets and $28.1
million was included in retained interest in sold finance contracts receivable as part of
non-current assets in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2007.

In
connection with the Companys Securitization Facility, the Company and the SPE are
parties to interest rate swap agreements to manage the SPEs interest rate exposure
from floating rate debt. The term and notional balances of the swap agreements are matched
to the anticipated repayment profile of the aggregate portfolio of securitized finance
contracts. Effective December 31, 2007, the Companys variable to fixed rate
obligations are an aggregate swapped notional balance of $267.0 million decreasing over
time to $0 by December 31, 2013. As of December 31, 2007, the Company pays a fixed rate of
5.015% under the swaps (which adjusts monthly) and receives a 30 day LIBOR variable rate.
The reference 30 day LIBOR rate was 4.63% at December 31, 2007. The swaps are deemed
ineffective under the provisions of SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities. Accordingly, changes in fair value are
recognized in earnings each period as part of the Companys retained interest
valuation. At December 31, 2007, the Companys retained interest calculation was
reduced by $5.4 million as a result of the swap liability. During the fourth quarter of 2007, an immaterial error was
identified in the accounting for the interest rate swap arrangement contained within the
valuation of retained interest that resulted in a charge to the fourth quarter totaling
$1.4 million that related to the year ended December 31, 2006.

The
Companys retained interest calculation is based on the present value of estimated
future cash flows which is affected by interest paid on the underlying capital advance. A
10% increase or decrease in the average cost of the SPEs floating rate capital
advance would result in a pre-tax change in the valuation of the Companys retained
interest of approximately $1.4 million based on the total portfolio of securitized finance
contracts at December 31, 2007.

The
total credit capacity under the 2006 Securitization Facility is $300 million, with finance
contracts receivable sold and being serviced by the Company totaling $277.8 million at
December 31, 2007. Of the $277.8 million in sold contracts receivable, $21.8 million were
greater than 60 days past due at December 31, 2007. Credit losses on contracts sold
through the program were $0.7 million as of December 31, 2007.

During
2005, the loss on sale of finance contracts receivable was partially offset by a $0.4
million realized gain on the termination of interest rate swap contracts that were put in
place to hedge gains / losses on the sale of finance contracts receivable (see Note 13).
The Company received $2.6 million, $1.7 million and $0.7 million in service fee income
during 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

In
addition to the sale of finance contracts receivable through the asset Securitization
Facility, the Company sold finance contracts through limited recourse arrangements during
2007 and 2006. Based on the terms of the sales, recourse to the Company is limited to 5%
of the sold portfolio of finance contracts receivable. Amounts to cover potential losses
on these sold finance contracts receivable are included in the allowance for doubtful
accounts.

The
following table summarizes the Companys sales of finance contracts receivable
through these arrangements during 2007, 2006 and 2005 (in thousands):

|                                    | 2007
|----------------------------------- | ----
|Value of contracts sold             |     
|Cash received on sales of contracts |     
|                                   
|Cost of sales of finance contracts  |     
|                                   

At
December 31, 2007, the Company serviced $353.4 million of sold finance contracts
receivable of which $277.8 million, $66.1 million and $9.6 million were sold through the
asset Securitization Facility, limited recourse arrangements and full recourse
arrangements, respectively.

The
finance contracts require periodic installments of principal and interest over periods of
up to 72 months, with interest rates based on market conditions. The Company has retained
the servicing of substantially all of these contracts which generally have maturities of
12 to 60 months.

The
sales of finance contracts receivable were accounted for as a sale in accordance with SFAS
No. 140 Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and
Extinguishment of Liabilitiesa Replacement of FASB Statement No. 125. Sales of
finance contracts receivable are reflected as a reduction of finance contracts receivable
in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets and the proceeds received are included in
cash flows from operating activities in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Cash
Flows.

# Note 6  Inventories

The
LIFO costing method was used for 67% and 72% of the Companys inventories at December
31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. If all of the Companys inventories had been valued
on a current cost basis, which approximates FIFO value, estimated inventories by major
classification would have been as follows (in thousands):

|2007                       
|---------------------------
|Raw materials and supplies 
|Work-in-process            
|Finished machines and parts
|                           
|Total current cost value   
|Adjustment to LIFO basis   
|                           
|                           
|                           

During
2007, inventory quantities were reduced in three of the Companys four LIFO
pools.  This reduction resulted in a liquidation of LIFO inventory quantities carried
at lower costs prevailing in prior years as compared with the cost of 2007 purchases, the
effect of which decreased cost of goods sold by approximately $1.2 million and increased
net income by approximately $0.8 million.

# Note 7  Property,
Plant and Equipment  Net

Property,
plant and equipment consisted of the following (in thousands):

|2007                             
|---------------------------------
|Land

The
Company recorded depreciation expense totaling $4.6 million, $4.5 million and $4.9 million
for 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

# Note 8  Debt
Obligations

A
summary of the Companys debt obligations, and related current maturities, is as
follows (in thousands):

|2007                      
|--------------------------
|Commercial paper          
|Revolving credit facility 
|Other debt obligations

|Long-term debt obligations
|                          

As
of December 31, 2007 the Company maintains a $125 million unsecured revolving credit
facility (the Facility) with a syndicate of commercial bank lenders. The
credit commitment under the facility is for a five-year period expiring October 17, 2011.
At any time during the term of the Facility, the Company has the option to request an
increase in the credit commitment under the Facility to $175 million from the current
syndicate of commercial bank lenders or any other commercial bank lender(s) selected by
the Company. The facility replaced and cancelled all lending commitments to the Company
under a prior secured credit facility entered into by the Company with the same group of
commercial bank lenders in June 2005. Under the terms of the Facility, the Company has
pledged the capital stock of certain wholly-owned subsidiaries which are all co-borrowers.
The Company may borrow up to $25 million under the Facility in currencies other than the
U.S. Dollar. The Company may elect to pay interest on U.S. Dollar borrowings under the
Facility at a rate of either (1) the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR)
plus 0.625% to 1.3750% or (2) a base rate defined as the prime commercial rate less 0.125%
to 1.125%. The Companys actual borrowing costs for LIBOR or base rate borrowings is
determined by reference to a pricing grid based on the Companys ratio of funded debt
to total capitalization. Interest on amounts borrowed under the Facility in currencies
other than the U.S. Dollar will be priced at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 0.625% to 1.375%.
As of December 31, 2007 the weighted average interest rate on Company borrowings
outstanding under the Facility was 5.99%.

The
Facility requires the Company to maintain compliance with certain financial covenants
related to total capitalization, interest expense coverage, tangible net worth, capital
expenditures and operating lease spending. The Company was in compliance with all
covenants as of December 31, 2007.

---

Borrowings
under the Facility were $21.1 million at December 31, 2007 versus $24.7 million a year
earlier. Available unused borrowings under the Facility were $53.9 million at December 31,
2007 versus $75.1 million a year earlier. Available borrowings at December 31, 2007 were
reduced by $50.0 million of commercial paper discussed in Short-term
Borrowings below.

During
the fourth quarter of 2006, the Company began to issue commercial paper through a
placement agent to fund a portion of its short term working capital needs. The Company had
the ability to sell up to $25.0 million in commercial paper under this arrangement. In
April 2007, this arrangement was expanded to give the Company the ability to sell up to
$50.0 million in commercial paper. The Companys commercial paper program is backed
by the credit commitment under the Companys revolving credit facility. At December
31, 2007, the Company had $50.0 million of short term commercial paper outstanding at a
rate of 5.07% compared to $25.0 million outstanding at December 31, 2006 at a rate of
5.45%.

In
May 2006, the Company entered into a $10 million committed line of credit facility with a
commercial bank lender. Borrowings under this facility accrued interest at 1.15% above the
LIBOR for 30 day deposits reset monthly and are secured by a first priority lien on an
assigned pool of retail finance contracts receivable. This facility expired on April 30,
2007.

In
addition, the Company has access to a 2.5 million committed foreign short-term
credit facility. There were no borrowings outstanding under this facility at December 31,
2007 and 2006.

The
Company believes it has adequate capital resources and borrowing capacity to meet its
projected capital requirements for the foreseeable future. Requirements for working
capital, capital expenditures, pension fund contributions and debt maturities in fiscal
2008 will continue to be funded by operations and the Companys borrowing
arrangements.

Annual
maturities of debt obligations are as follows (in thousands):

|Year  | Maturity Amount
|----- | ---------------
|2008  |                
|2009  |                
|2010  |                
|2011  |                
|2012  |                
|     
|Total |                
|     

Interest
paid on total debt obligations was $4.6 million, $3.7 million and $5.5 million in 2007,
2006 and 2005, respectively.

In
general, the Company provides warranty coverage on equipment for a period of up to twelve
months. The Companys reserve for warranty claims is established based on the best
estimate of the amounts necessary to settle future and existing claims on products sold as
of the balance sheet date. The Company records warranty expense as a component of selling,
general and administrative expense. While the Companys warranty costs have
historically been within its calculated estimates, it is possible that future warranty
costs could differ from those estimates.

At
December 31, 2007, the Company had state net operating loss carry forwards of $13.9
million and state tax credits of $0.3 million available for the reduction of future income
tax liabilities. Both the state net operating loss carry forwards and state tax credits
will expire at various dates between 2008 and 2027. A valuation allowance has been
recorded against these carry forwards and credits for which utilization is uncertain.

As
of December 31, 2007, U.S. income taxes, net of foreign taxes paid or payable, have not
been provided on the undistributed profits of its foreign subsidiary as all such
undistributed profits are deemed to be permanently reinvested outside of the U.S. Such
unremitted earnings of the subsidiary which have been or are intended to be permanently
reinvested were $17.4 million at December 31, 2007.

Cash
paid related to income taxes during 2007, 2006 and 2005 was $9.8 million, $14.8 million
and $11.7 million, respectively.

The
Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction, and
various state and foreign jurisdictions. Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted
FIN 48. In accordance with FIN 48, the Company recognized a cumulative-effect adjustment
of $0.5 million, increasing its liability for unrecognized tax benefits along with related
interest and penalties, and reducing the January 1, 2007 balance of retained earnings.

A
reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as
follows (in millions):

|                                                             |

|                                                            
|Additions based on tax positions related to the current year | 
|Additions for tax positions of prior years                   | 
|Reductions for tax positions of prior years                  | 
|Settlements and lapse of statue of limitations               | 
|                                                            
|Balance at December 31, 2007                                 | 
|                                                            

Included
in the balance at December 31, 2007, is $3.1 million of unrecognized tax benefits which
would impact our effective income tax rate if recognized. The Company recognizes accrued
interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. At
January 1, 2007 and December 31, 2007, the Company had accrued $0.7 million and $0.9
million, respectively, for the potential payment of interest and penalties.

Currently,
the Company has statutes of limitations open in various states ranging from the 2002
through the 2007 tax years. The federal statue of limitations is currently open for the
2005 through 2007 tax years. The foreign jurisdiction statute of limitations is currently
open for the 2004 through 2007 tax years. While we expect the amount of unrecognized tax
benefits to change in the next 12 months, we do not expect the change to have a
significant impact on the results of operations or our financial position.

|Net periodic benefit cost         
|                                  

The assumptions
used in the measurement of the Companys net periodic benefit cost for the years
ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 are shown in the following table:

|2007                                    
|----------------------------------------
|Weighted-average assumptions:           
|Discount rate                           
|Expected long-term return on plan assets
|Rate of compensation increase           
|                                        

The
Companys approach used to determine the expected long-term rate of return on plan
assets assumption is based on weighting historical market index returns for various asset
classes in proportion to the assets held in the Gehl Pension Master Trust
(Trust). Typically, the Trust holds approximately 70% of assets in equity
securities and 30% in fixed income securities. Weighting 10-year compounded trailing
returns on equity and fixed income indices in proportion to the above asset mix yields an
expected long-term return of 9.00%. However, recent unsettled market conditions have
caused management to add a degree of conservatism in the long-term rate of return
assumption, which has been set at 8.75%.

As
manager of plan assets, the Trusts Investment Committee (the Committee)
believes that it must prudently invest pension assets in a manner that attempts to meet
the actuarial long-term rate of return. At the same time, the Committee adheres to three
overriding responsibilities  to safeguard plan assets, to optimize returns, and to
diversify assets.

Estimated
future benefit payments, which reflect expected future service, are as follows (in
thousands):

The
Company maintains a rabbi trust containing $7.6 million and $5.6 million of assets
designated for the non-qualified supplemental retirement benefit plan as of December 31,
2007 and 2006, respectively. The assets of the rabbi trust are invested in equity
securities and variable life insurance policies.

The
Company maintains a savings and profit sharing plan. The Company matches 50% of each
non-bargaining unit employees contributions to the plan not to exceed 6% of the
employees annual compensation. Vesting of Company contributions occur at the rate of
20% per year and totaled approximately $863,000, $591,000 and $729,000 in 2007, 2006 and
2005, respectively.

The
Company maintains a defined contribution plan that covers certain employees not covered by
a defined benefit plan. The Company contributes various percentages of eligible employee
compensation (as defined in the plan), and the plan does not allow employee contributions.
The Company contributed approximately $638,000, $558,000 and $476,000 in connection with
this plan in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

The
Company provides post employment benefits to certain retirees in two areas: a $2,500 life
insurance policy for retired office employees and subsidized health insurance benefits for
early retirees prior to their attaining age 65. The number of retirees associated with
post employment benefit costs is approximately 247.

# Note 12 
Shareholders Equity

On
October 26, 2007, the Companys Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase plan
providing for the repurchase of up to 1,000,000 shares of the Companys outstanding
common stock in open market or privately negotiated transactions. All treasury stock
acquired by the Company will be cancelled and returned to the status of authorized but
unissued. The plan does not have an expiration date. As of December 31, 2007, a total of
123,600 shares had been repurchased. The Companys Board of Directors terminated the
previous plan which was authorized in September 2001. The Company had repurchased an
aggregate of 227,850 shares of the 500,000 authorized shares under the previous plan.

On
September 26, 2005, the Company completed a public offering of 2,395,000 shares of its
common stock at a price to the public of $28.12. The offering included 1,748,125 primary
shares sold by the Company and 646,875 secondary shares sold by one selling shareholder,
Neuson Finance GmbH. The Company received approximately $46.1 million in net proceeds from
the sale of shares by it in the offering, after deducting underwriting discounts,
commissions and expenses. The Company used the net proceeds it received from the offering
to repay debt outstanding under its credit facility.

On
July 22, 2005, the Company declared a three-for-two common stock split in the form of a
50% stock dividend with a record date of August 10, 2005, and a payment date of August 24,
2005. The purpose of the stock dividend was to create additional market liquidity for the
Companys common stock and, thus, enhance shareholder value. The information in this
Annual Report on Form 10-K has been adjusted to reflect the stock split.

On
May 25, 2007, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted a Shareholder Rights Plan and
declared a rights dividend of preferred one share purchase right (Right) for
each share of common stock outstanding on June 18, 2007, and provided that one Right would
be issued with each share of common stock thereafter issued. The Shareholder Rights Plan
provides that in the event a person or group acquires or seeks to acquire 15% or more of
the outstanding common stock of the Company, the Rights, subject to certain limitations,
will become exercisable. Each Right, once exercisable, initially entitles the holder
thereof (other than the acquiring person, whose rights are cancelled) to purchase from the
Company one one-hundredth of a share of Series A preferred stock at an initial exercise
price of $130 per one one-hundredth of a share (subject to adjustment), or, upon the
occurrence of certain events, common stock of the Company or common stock of an
acquiring company having a market value equivalent to two times the exercise
price. Subject to certain conditions, the Rights are redeemable by the Board of Directors
for $.001 per Right and are exchangeable for shares of common stock. The Rights have no
voting power and expired on May 25, 2017.

# Note 13  Financial
Instruments

The
Company selectively uses interest rate swaps and foreign currency forward contracts to
reduce market risk associated with changes in interest rates and the value of the U.S
Dollar versus the Euro. The use of derivatives is restricted to those intended for hedging
purposes.

During
2007, in connection with the Companys Securitization Facility, the Company was party
to an interest rate swap agreement to manage the SPEs interest rate exposure from
floating rate debt. The swap agreements term and notional balances are matched to
the anticipated repayment profile of the aggregate portfolio of securitized finance
contracts. Effective December 31, 2007 the Companys variable to fixed rate
obligations are an aggregate swapped notional balance of $267.0 million decreasing over
time to $0 by December 31, 2013. As of December 31, 2007 the Company pays a fixed rate of
5.015% under the swap (which adjusts monthly) and receives a 30 day LIBOR variable rate.
The reference 30 day LIBOR rate was 4.63% at December 31, 2007. The swap was deemed
ineffective under the provisions of SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities. Accordingly, changes in fair value are
recognized in earnings each period as part of the Companys retained interest
valuation. At December 31, 2007 the Companys retained interest calculation was
reduced by $5.4 million as a result of the swap liability.

The
Companys retained interest calculation is based on the present value of estimated
future cash flows which is affected by interest paid on the underlying capital advance. A
10% increase or decrease in the average cost of the SPEs floating rate capital
advance would result in a pre-tax change in the valuation of the Companys retained
interest of approximately $1.4 million based on the total portfolio of securitized finance
contracts at December 31, 2007.

During
the fourth quarter of 2005, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement with
a third party financial institution to exchange variable rate interest obligations for
fixed rate obligations without the exchange of the underlying principal amounts. Effective
January 2006, under this agreement, the Companys variable to fixed rate obligations
are an aggregate swapped notional amount of $40 million through January 2008. The
aggregate notional amount of the swap decreases to $30 million effective January 2008, $20
million effective January 2009, $10 million effective January 2010 and expires in January
2011. The Company pays a 4.89% fixed interest rate under the swap agreement and receives a
30 day LIBOR variable rate. The reference 30 day LIBOR rate was 4.60% at December 31,
2007. The variable to fixed interest rate swap is an effective cash-flow hedge. The fair
value of the swap was $(608,411) at December 31, 2007. As a result, a liability was
recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Changes in fair value were included in other
comprehensive income (loss).

In
September 2007, the Company entered into a series of forward currency contracts
(forward contracts) to hedge a portion of the Companys exposure to
changes in the value of the U.S Dollar versus the Euro as a result of the Euro purchase
commitments. The forward contracts will expire between June 16, 2008 and December 15, 2008
and have a notional amount of 6.0 million ($8.4 million) and contract rates ranging
from 1.0:$1.4003 to 1.0:$1.4014. As the contracts are deemed ineffective under
the provisions of SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities, the Company recorded a current liability and an increase to other
expense of $0.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2007.

During
2005, the Company was party to three interest rate swap agreements (swaps)
that were put in place as hedges protecting against underlying changes in interest rates
and their impact on the gains / losses incurred upon the sale of finance contracts
receivable. Accordingly, the implied gains / losses associated with the fair values of
interest rate swaps would be offset by gains / losses on the sale of the underlying retail
finance contracts. Under the swaps, the Company received interest on a variable LIBOR for
one-month deposits and paid on a fixed rate ranging from of 3.18% to 3.41%. Although the
Company continued to own finance contracts during the term of the swaps, under the
provisions of SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities, the swaps were deemed ineffective as of April 2, 2005 as the finance
contracts that were owned by the Company at the inception of the swaps had been sold
during the three-month period ended April 2, 2005. As a result, the Company recorded $1.1
million of other income in the three-month period ended April 2, 2005. The Company
terminated the swaps during the three-month period ended July 2, 2005 and recorded $0.7
million of other expense during such period resulting in a realized net gain of $0.4
million.

In
May 2005, the Company entered into a series of forward currency contracts (forward
contracts) to hedge a portion of the Companys exposure to changes in the value
of the U.S Dollar versus the Euro during 2005 as a result of Euro purchase commitments.
All of the forward contracts the Company entered into expired during 2005 resulting in a
realized loss of $0.3 million.

# Note 14  Net
Income per Share

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
and vesting of restricted stock. A reconciliation of the shares used in the computation is
as follows (in thousands):

|2007                                  
|--------------------------------------
|Basic shares

|                                      

For
the year ended December 31, 2007, 159,596 options to purchase common shares were
anti-dilutive and, accordingly, excluded from the effect of options and unvested
restricted stock in the calculation of diluted net income per share.

# Note 15  Leases

The
Company uses certain equipment under operating lease arrangements. Rent expense under such
arrangements amounted to $2,929,000, $2,695,000 and $2,037,000 in 2007, 2006 and 2005,
respectively.

The
Company maintains non-cancelable operating leases for certain equipment. Future minimum
lease payments under such leases at December 31, 2007 are as follows (in thousands):

# Note 16 
Contingencies

The
Company is involved in litigation of which the ultimate outcome and liability to the
Company, if any, is not presently determinable. Management believes that final disposition
of such litigation will not have a material impact on the Companys results of
operations or financial position.
