Looks the part that! Is it the style of pic or is the cab very cramped? Looks extremely narrow but could be the way the photo was taken.

I’m also far from convinced a cream interior will work out well in a telehandler:oops:
we have a Masey loader very similar I dont find the cab cramped and I am six feet tall and weigh in at eighteen stone its on a par with most others

Well I've had a Massey telescopic on demo for a couple of days,8043,yes they are made by Bobcat,but they do look the part in red.
Amazed how compact it is for a 8m high lift and 4.3 ton lift,when they said what model i was getting on demo I thought it was going to be a massive clumberson great lump,but no, its only a few inches longer than my JD 3220,Bonus.
Yes its hydrostatic and not everyone's cup of tea but I've got too like it,its fast both in speed and in hydraulics.
Its got 2 gears,and a splitter and a creep gear which can adjusted.
You can, I've been told add hydraulic attachments pipes under pressure,haven't tried that part,which is a pita on my JD with the Sutton road brush.
Think the only gripe I had was with the boom suspension which seemed to have a mind of its own,they are going to look into that....probably operator error tho.
Oh and that poxy ball bearing spirt level thing on the corner post which rattled............a lot.
1st thing that would hit the back of the workshop if I decide to keep it,and why don't they put a camera on the pickup hitch nowadays instead of a crap mirror which will get knocked out of view.
Useless.
Do I like it.........
yes👍👍
it'll do everything I want and a lot more,and its got great air con in that green house of a cab.

Anyone want to buy a JD 3220!
that looks very nice, good visibility to by the looks
 
She done a bit over 7000hrs,its been in at the dealers in the spring an had the carriage overhauled,new pads in boom, everything that was slightly worn was replaced!
Its tight.
It needs a new set of boots really just to finish her off.


I don't know what to say in all honesty, that machine is utterly ace. However I dare say you have raised some suspicions about you now. You are going to have a hard time convincing TFF that you are not some kind of yellow cordroy trouser wearing gentleman farmer to be driving around in a handler that mint and with 2 inches of shagpile carpet under the throttle? What work does it do, takes ones lawn mowings from bottom of the garden to the compost pile? I bet you have a special pair of totally clean, pristine wellies you only wear to the pub and back as well?

Had one or two members in my yard,and they know its pretty spot on.
She only loads grain pushes up grain at harvest,unloads fert/loads fert in yard doesn't even tow a trailer much now,and I keep the bloody door shut!
It does occasional collect the grass clippings but I have a separate bucket for that,Red tractor bullsh*t tick box............... tick
Wasn't really planning on selling but have had some very good offers for her.
I'm not a big fan of corduroy trousers,whatever colour they are.😁😁

Even the JD (which is now at 270hp) was only managing 6.5kph as it was a hell of a crop of Abergain PRG so your Case would have fainted and been chucked in the sea to mend its ways.

Sainted Isle can grow grass
Abergain is a fantastic tet prg. It is heavy and delicious. To bad that machine could not handle it. I wonder what was holding it back.
