I would be after it if local. Not tried a TMT but I think the boom has some advantages. Underrated tools IMHO.

It wouldn't be perfect due to geometry but the boom one could work ok with a bucket.

I was thinking the same, however it would be slow and bulky compared to an Avant. Cheap tho.

They don’t ‘push’ very well . At least my Moffet doesn’t unless you use difflock, then it usually stalls as it’s underpowered in that scenario .

Not so much a problem with a telescopic boom as you can use the tele to load the bucket whilst the machine stay still.
You definitely wouldn't buy one to use as a loader but think if you had one a bucket would be worth having.

I came very close to buying this one a year or so ago. Aux hydraulics and 4m reach
Needed a bit more work than I wanted . Very handy tool and a genuinely towable Tele .

That’s the one. Find it/fixit/farm it Nice enough but considering they have a workshop on site I was pretty disappointed with the list of issues we found on the Manitou. If they had spent a day on it to sort the easy bits (missing wheel studs and leaking parts) and been honest about the other bits from the start I probably would have bought it.
Would still be keen on a nice one - but pretty rare bits of kit

No the SLT is a proper Tele. Very different beast to the TMT. More power and Hyd flow and aux as well. Plus narrow enough to get on a trailer.

Similar DNA but hydrostatic drive . Think the buggiscopic has mechanical drive to wheels whereas the SLT was individual drive motors .ah - so the Manitou was a 'buggyscopic' type jobbie all be it a three wheeler
Not sure on the pros and cons. Nice small machines

Mine is about 3.3m odd. Basically enough to get a chicken crate out the top level of a lorry .

The Tmt or moffett may struggle to get first lift depending on the topography. No chance at second lift
The SLT would easily do first lift but not second.
