Item 1.01.     Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

        On January 4, 2006, Gehl Company (the “Company”) entered into a supplemental retirement benefit agreement (the “Agreement”) with Daniel L. Miller, in connection with his appointment as Vice President-Manufacturing Operations of the Company. Under the Agreement, Mr. Miller will receive a monthly retirement benefit for fifteen years. The monthly benefit to be received by Mr. Miller is computed by multiplying a vesting percentage by 30% of Mr. Miller’s average monthly compensation computed by reference to the highest base salary and cash bonus earned by Mr. Miller for any five calendar years within the last ten completed calendar years of service preceding termination. The Agreement provides for a pre-retirement death benefit consisting of five annual payments in the amount of 40% of the average annual salary computed by reference to the highest base salaries and cash bonuses earned during a consecutive five-year period preceding the date of death. Benefits vest under the Agreement at a rate of 10% per year for the first four years and are deemed to be fully vested after five years. In the event there is a “change in control” of the Company as defined in the Agreement, benefits become 100% vested and the present value of each benefit is payable in a lump sum. The Agreement also contains a covenant not to compete which covers Mr. Miller for a two-year period following the termination of his employment. Failure to comply with such provisions will result in a forfeiture of benefits under the Agreement.

        The foregoing description of the Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Agreement, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
