Kramer telehandlers

[Barneydog]

Hi all, simple question really. I am looking for owners/users opinions on Kramer telehandlers both good and bad. Preferred model would be KT407.

We have had a 447 for a year and no complaints apart from a cab mount that was incorrectly assembled at the factory. Everyone seems to like driving it, even those of us who still prefer the JCB TM320s pivot steer we bought at about the same time.

Only caveat I would add is that we are relatively low hour arable users.

We have a claas which is made by kramer. Really is a nice machine to use.

People do seem to like driving them, any reliability issues to report?

I havn't had it long enough to be able to give an honest view.
But the mechanic I use for servicing air conditioning said they are about the best built machine and he recommends them.

I'm on my second center boom type Kramer. Been very reliable for us so far.

My neighbour has had a kramer for 18 months and seems to love it. I used a kramer built class a few years back a loved it aswell.

which is manoeuvreable the Kramer or 320, I’ll guess the Kramer

I'd say the 320 almost every time, the one place the 320 can lose out is in backing out on pallet work if you run out of lock where the Kramer's shorter overall length can be an advantage. The only advantage I see in the rigid truck is the greater lift height on offer when needed.

We are looking for a good all round machine feeding,loading grain and pallets. Also bedding with a suire strawspreader which we need to reach as far as possible into mobile poultry houses hence to larger machine to help balance the spreader
