I’m not a fan of large machinery but the time has come to replace the manitou MLT626.
With more wagons to load since the livestock went should we be moving up to 3.5 ton lift capacity?
We load maybe 1000 tons a year. Not much compared to some but lorries like to be away quickly.
I really liked the dump pedal on the MLT626 as you could set off and stop smoothly as per a conventional clutch. Quite disappointed with the “jerkotronic” joystick controls of modern telehsndlers but they all seem the same. Enough of a lurch to roll a couple of beet off a well loaded bucket but that’s progress.
