Which telehandler

[Dman2]

Taking into account our post in the wreckers thread and that we are only about a week away from harvest, we need a telehandler pretty sharpish.
Not a huge budget 30k ish
Resigned to getting a standard telehandler rather than a pivot steer as there doesn`t seem to be a lot around.
Which standard telehandler should we look for
Do most of them have 4 wheel steer?

30k the best jcb 526 you can find!

What are the 531-70 like?
Also there is a 536-60 fairly local

Is a telescopic essential? There are a growing number of £10-15k loading shovels about, you could have 2 for the price of a half reasonable telehandler

Merlo? Brian robinson worth a ring, neighbour loves his

 

[Dman2]

Everything we have is pin and cone
No inclination to change.
I`ve driven neighbours Merlo and don`t like it

Our sheds couldn`t cope with a loading shovel

Loads about , just avoiding the knackered ones is the issue , pin and cone JCB is strange

See if you can find a Kramer or a Kramer built Claas, I think Julian Swinbank had a really nice 7040 in stock which should be within your budget. I really rate our Class 6030 and use the newer Kramers every day, easy to use and seem fairly bomb proof.
Edit, I think he had a pin and cone headstock too.
You can get them fairy easily for whatever you decide to buy

Cone and pin will fit on anything.
JCB 536-60 is a nice machine. What age as hydraulics on older machines seem painfully slow.

We've had a construction spec 531-70 ( 100 HP engine ) which we put a pick up hitch on for about 8 years came with 1200 hours now has over 12000 hours. It has been very good with few issues. We have a Claas 7045 which is a much fancier machine but has more issues but has 10,000 hours. When we get another it will probably be JCB.

Yeah Julian let's Darren manage most of the day to day stuff, both good to deal with, although they never give me any commission or discount for pushing their stock.
