Should be possible make them out and see how they are getting on few years later

There is one on farm work not too far away but don't know the people

Big problem with a rare machine is when it gets old where will be parts be found, maybe they are essentially the same machine as rubber duck so might not be composed of telehandler only parts

Had one here on demo earlier in the year when I was looking to trade in my manitou but didn't really get on with it. It's a grand simple machine that was very competitively priced and could certainly shove. But found it had frustratingly slow cycle times for mucking out etc. We also thought it was just a bit big and numb for getting into the tighter spots. Bought a JCB 538-60 in the end which is a hell of a machine.
It all depends what you're looking for, if it was for an arable farm or something I think it would be absolutely ideal but for livestock work it just couldn't keep up with the jcb or manitou.

Yeah I read that article alright. You would imagine a newholland would be more common but I know of no one who has or had one.

Never sold down this part of the country until the current range arrived

What would you be upgrading from
A big step up. Currently feeding with a mf50B. Great machine on a concrete yard but that's all it can do. I've been thinking of buying a telescopic loader of telehandler with a round 10 years. Still struggling to justify it. If the 50B gave up in the morning I would, but hard to spend big money on something that doesn't speed things up that much.

I would steer clear of any telehandler sold by a tractor manufacturer. They just font sell well. There aren't enough about and therfore both manufacturer and dealer mechanics don't really know much about them. Stick to JCB, Manitou and as much as I dislike hydrostatic Merlo and Kramer. You won't go far wrong then.

If your going to keep it 20 years plus then depreciation is not so much a problem, but changing it regularly you could suffer very high depreciation - best advice is stick to volume sellers who don't change the models every few years - if a manufacturer runs a model for 10 years and it is sold in volumes across Uk & Europe - that is the guarantee for demand for your used machine regardless of age or hours with parts and service know how already in the aftermarket -
