[QUOTE="ACEngineering, post: 8145874, member: 13308"] anything is an improvemnt on a 247 :X3: i would avoid a series 1 mlt 725, series 2 is okay, series 3 is much better, better still is a mlt 628 or 728 725 series 1 and 2 had weak carraro axles, but there were many other improvements on the series 2, series 3 had much stronger axles. MLT 628 and 728 had a better cab, got rid of the hyd control box and cables and mostly had mechanical levers direct on to the hyd valve block so far better. There are some old 725 with danfoss joysticks but rare i would avoid them, there are also mlt 628 and 728 with pilot control joystick which are also fine but i rather mechanical control, there is also the option of powershift gearbox which i would also avoid. too many optional extras complicate the machine, make it less reliable and more difficult and expensive to repair when old.
