Pivot steer telehandler

What's reliable and easy started, it's just to use to feed with in the summer so that the loader tractor isn't tied up and can go to other jobs easier. I know old matbro teleram 3 are old but would they still do a turn or better going never and paying finance on a jcb 310 or similar

Other option is another loader tractor I suppose

Had a manitou mla 627 here, bought with 4400 hrs on it, tough and reliable, started beautifully once it got a high speed starter. Sold to my cousin with 14000 hrs on it, still working away. Replaced with an mla 628, bought with 6500 hrs, has broke shaft in pump, working fine on 9500 hrs.

Got a TM 270 here yr 2000 still going ok on an off lying farm. Loads fertiliser in summer and straights into the mixer wagon once a week in winter. On about 12,000 hrs now, owned from new but been a back up machine for last 13 years.

dont spend money on really obsolete stuff, teleram 3 is too old now, one critical thing on it that is obsolete is the brake slave cylinders and they are specials. If you want a Matbro then go for a TR250 powershift or 110.

I used a Teleram 40 (30 yrs old) for everything until about 4 years ago. Slow, noisy but totally reliable and simple to fix. Now got a Manitou MLA 628 which is in a different league but complicated. Don"t miss the Matbro but it cost 5 grand, 3,000 hours later I sold it for 5 grand and it always did the job... think it went for launching lifeboats on the Isle of Wight!
