New Telehandler?

[Northfarmer]

Hi. Looking to change our current telehandler(manitou 529), main jobs are feeding cattle outside and dunging sheds out so what should i be looking at?

 

[Rob Holmes]

Kramer, Merlo, Bobcats look good and doing deals atm

I have 2 manitou 635 machines. Have been very impressed so far, seem to be more reliable than the old 634.

JCB would be the obvious choice....

You won't have to part company with
too much money

Narrow your choice down to 2 models based on availability in your area and what size of handler you want. Then come back and ask again. As you can see above, you've already been recommended just about every make on the market!

Narrow it down to a couple who have good dealer back up in your area. With this newer kit you will need it.

i think you mean a MLT 629, if its the rear engine then it replacement it a MLT 630 if you got a old old 629 side engine then a MLT 630 may still do all you want or you look at the 635

Have to be a Merlo for me. Hydrostatic transmission, cab suspension, diff lock, inbuilt weigher and the smallest physical size for the lift capacity. The most important factor is what dealers are closest that you get on well with?

Anyone had any experience with the new bobcat telehandlers?

 

[dubs]

A dairy farm i buy sheep off has 2 bobcats they seem ok 3 year warranty
oldest one is 3 years old and a new one home last year
no major problems

Sorry for late reply, I've had a Bobcat 30/70 for 10 months now and very happy with it. A couple of minor issues sorted quickly. 5 year warranty in deal which I was told the other day is continuing till the end of the year.
I believe there is a change in design for the newly released tier 5 engines.
