I have lately been wondering whether feeding up our cows every day with a telehandler is as efficient as it appears??
telehandlers by their very nature are fuel hungry with big engines, torque converters and heavy weights?
With diesel going up as it is - I’m going to experiment with running costs of an old telehandler vs old 2wd tractor and loader.
A loader tractor will easily cope with my daily chores and I suspect will use a lot less fuel and parts ??
Obviously I still need to keep the telehandler for all those jobs they excel at ..
