Don't complain - suggest what's better
Thanks, its not off ebay, this one is in much nicer condition than that one, 2005 year with just over 1000hrs and its in very tidy condition for its age. For 1/4 of the cost of a new 700 series, I'm hoping it will do 80% of what I really want one to do for me. And the attachments I got with it will cross over to a newer one anyway so will put it to work and prove the concept so to speak.
And start saving towards that lovely looking 800 series......
What attachments did you get, anything interesting?

I think it's a IH motor and a Clark box.

Let's talk attachments.... I've a winch, a Grid Bucket (with plates in it to make it standard) and a 4in1...... Just need a Big set of forks for those block paving jobs and perhaps a timber grab for when I take out hedges.
Will it run a flail?

Thought I would stick this in here rather than create a new thread.

Both mecalac and Manitou have entered the compact loader market as I've seen from recent articles. Whilst neither offer telescopic booms yet. It might interest some on here to see the other options coming to the market

Just checked the biggest towable Manitou and due to the boom geometry in comparison to the multione 9.5 it gives I think about 400mm less lift height
But lists tipping weight as 800kg less.
Mecalac seem to Do 2 boom length options to counter that. So obviously a compromise but might suit some.

The Manitou ones have come from their Gehl stable, so have been around a bit and should be proven, a local dealer when they have they Manitou/Gehl brand on their books, I did a bit taking one round to farms to have on demo, it was over a towable weight at around 4.5/5t, but it seemed an OK machine.
The Mecalac ones look familiar, but I cant place which manufacture.
