New paint job puts me off :eek: pictures all taken from distance and no close up ones of engine etc

Reading back through this thread you mention hay making. Do you have more than one tractor for for making hay as another tractor with a loader would come in handy or act as a back up for your main tractor? Sorry if going off thread abit(y)

Another tractor is not require - as we have an old Fergie that could be utilised for our needs if push come to shove. The requirement is more a general all round vehicle that can lift, scoop, reach and go on muddy ground etc. A tractor and loader cannot do this - neither can a rough terrain forklift.

I cannot operate my smart phone as quickly as you youngsters! Plus it has annoying predictive and no spell check which is completely wrong for this peasant.
Going back to the op he needs a telehandler so a JCB 525-55/67 or Manitou 628, 725, 527 mlt type with the later axle.
Put me right Ace!

any of the above although MLT 527 would be bottom of my list due the rubbish carraro axle they use on it.

The only 5 series Manitou I would consider is the MLT 526 with rounded bonnet. from around early 00's

Going off thread again, but why do you need a door for loler?? Do you need to have both halves ( if split door). ? What about windows ??

you need a bottom door. when you have a lola they also to a puwer cert and its that part of it which requires the door so you cant fall out, but then I guess you can argue whats what the seat belt is for and also part of the requirements:ROFLMAO:

I bow to your knowledge, never really looked at the little Mani and the late one would be out of budget for op.

Staggering! they were less money 10 years ago. Vision aside they [JCB 525] are in a different league to an old Sanderson. An acquaintance had one from new years ago and that put up with real abuse. A neighbour had the larger 535-67 model which mostly kept working on with zero maintenance.

Yes they're abit like the price tag of a decent low houred MLT 628 or MLT 728 everyone likes them, good reliable machines hard to find in good order now due to age.

Over the past eight years I have bought two 525 58 four wheel steer JCB’s as featured above, and paid very similar money for similar aged and houred machines.
Both have been trouble free and do everything I need. They both have 4WD, 4 wheel steer and crab steer. I would buy another similar Loadall tomorrow if I needed one.
