merlo 30.7 k :opinions performance merits defects reliability

[sfrs4]

Best teleporter the farm ever owned was the Matbro TR250 110 that thing was brilliant in all aspects great visibility all round and of the headstock and attachments, pulled like a train, engine was reliable, never put a spanner on it. If it had 3 point linkage it would have still been on the farm today without a doubt. always preferred a pivot steer over side boom, just a shame the main sacrifice is boom length after that for me its a win

Thanks for your clarifications

I,ve owned a multifarmer since 2016, put 5500 hours on it. Had the baler, bale trailer, straw chopper, seed drill, mower attached to it and has performed excellent.

Things about it I don't like, air con is absolute f****ng rubbish, you would have thought that being made in a hot country they would have got that right!
Wiring is the worst I have ever seen, looks like a lump of spaghetti behind the dash, I know because I have just had the dash out because the pcb has melted!

I must not complain too much though as apart from routine maintenance over the years I only need a new dash at £1600

Sorry to say thats Merlo, from a maintenance and repair point of view, I dread them coming through the door! Got a small tele-handler in at the moment had to strip most of the front end of the engine bay to find a coolant leak!
