    They're commonly known as manipoo.
    French manufactured shyte.
    Look elsewhere.

    If you have any regard for your money DO NOT even consider it. They have to be the worst pieces of shyte ever to be called a loader.

    We've had 2, more fool us. They are badly built with the softest steel available. Buy some Lego and build a loader, will stay together longer

    I cannot stress enough the need to move on

    I have a manitou mlt 526 and have no trouble with it really. Half the people who us telescopic loaders don't know how to drive them. I'd be very careful of who I allow drive mine. They have a nice perking engine. Grease them regularly and you'll be fine. I had to replace a tracking rod on my 2nd hand one I bought and a new starter because she was slow to start.
