There rare, not many around and only built for a short time.

MLA 628 front boom, MLT 634/735 engine & drive train, back actor is off a new holland i think.

There was plans to build them with out back actor and a 150hp engine and 3 point linkage but it never happened.

Yes they are all 8 ton, ish

Equal wheel NH digger really with engine moved, wonder how they connected engine to gearbox (TC)?

The dreaded Manitou patented 90 deg gearbox :X3: Rattle rattle rattle:ROFLMAO:

90 deg box bolts to the transmission which is under the cab, engine in one of the pods on the side driving 90 deg box via prop shaft.

long term parts availability for stuff that isn't used on normal models will start to be come an issue soon i would think. Manufactures only really need to make parts available for 10 years after production ends.

I'll think you'll find they did build them with three point linkage though they might have never got out of france. It was called a Manitrac. It had a rear pto too.

The Merlo Multifarmer is similar and still listed on their site. Though the thought of doing draft work with a hydrostatic transmission frightens me.
