    I am thinking about a telehandler. Thinking down the line a year or so. It seems to me that these are a lot cheaper than an equivalent manitou or JCB.
    I am told they are basically a manitou underneath. Are they any good or are they a ball of scrap?

    We have a 99 reg lm410. Bought it in 2001. There's a few different ways of looking at it. If your only doing a small amount of work then they are grand. We have had no major issues. Iveco engine in them. Hasn't given an ounce of bother. The most common prob we found were little oil leaks here and there. Oil seals in the axles also needed doing. Not too big a job but Fairly annoying. If your looking at doing lots of work with one I'd advise a machine with side mounted engine though. Ours is probably too small for what we want but it's served us well for the last 12 years.

    What is your budget?
    We just traded our 2010 Manitou MLA 628 120hp 3000hrs, it's a centre pivot with telescopic arm. We have had since new and was always dealer serviced. We changed for a JCB 310s that was traded from a neighbouring tillage farm, it's also 2010 with only 1000hrs and was probably never out in a shower of rain. If you are interested in a trouble free machine have a look in Kelly's of Borris at that machine.

    I recon 40k inc vat, I could be a mile out as I was only interested in what I had to pay.

    How come you changed from Manitou to JCB??

    Very simple the JCB came from a place where it was a pet and only 1000hrs and a bit more torque on silage pit + 50km on road. Had this loader not become available we would have kept Manitou as it was a very able machine
