What to replace a Merlo 32.6 plus with?

[Beefy23]

As per title I’ve had the Merlo for 3 years and it’s been quite a unreliable machine with many breakdowns and replacements and has now developed a electrical problem. I picked the Merlo because it was the most compact machine for the lift. I am now looking for a seven metre machine but has to be as compact as possible. Anyone got any ideas, I am open to any sort of machine just has to have minimal down time

Try the new Merlo 33.7

I looked at the 35.7 but I didn’t like where they have moved the fuel tank to. It is the same in the 33.7?

It is in the same place.
We have sold plenty of these machines and haven't had anyone damage a fuel tank yet !
The only downside is the tank is smaller than on a 32.6

Merlo 40.7 no competition

I agree I have had one a number of times when mine was being fixed it’s a fair beast

As @asm has said try a tf33.7. You may have been unlucky with your 32.6. Merlo have the market for great compact machines.
