My Komatsu FD30 completely justifies its cost. The engine is diesel, so it is very economical, which is a plus. The machine's construction is very sturdy, there have been no issues with the frame or attachments. All systems work flawlessly, in the 2 years of operation, only a few tires and the battery (part number 31558-00005) have been replaced. I am completely satisfied with my choice!

I have been using the Komatsu FD30 at my warehouse for 5 years now, and it is probably the best purchase I have made in my entire career. The Komatsu 4D95LE-2 engine is very reliable and economical, and the frame construction can withstand heavy loads. Throughout all this time of use, our warehouse has not required any major repairs, only regular maintenance such as changing lubricants and the air filter. The forklift is not bulky, so it works perfectly even when fully loaded. I highly recommend it!

Been running the new MLT 7:30 for a few weeks at the farm. First thing I noticed was how easy it is to get the cab, especially if you jump in and out a lot during the day. The visibility is pretty good, feels safer when moving stuff around the yard. The boom height actually surprised me, gets those bales up high no problem. Engine feels strong too, don't feel like I'm pushing it hard even with bigger loads. Only thing, wish the display and some controls were a little more simple, had to get used to em. Overall, machine's compact for tight spaces, definitely fits through our smaller sheds easier than the last telehandler we had.

Had my hands on the MLT X 737 for a while working with different attachments, mostly lifting and hauling. Swapping tools is a breeze, that easy connect really works, saves me a bunch of time. I found the engine and hydraulics strong enough, even when I work close to its max lift. The power shift transmission makes life easier - just pushing buttons for gears instead of fighting levers. Only thing, it's not the fastest machine you'll ever use, especially with a full load, but you get used to that. Two modes (auto/manual) are also a plus, since sometimes you want more control. Haven’t had any real breakdowns so far. Would call it reliable, but haven't pushed it through a full season yet to know for sure.

I have been using the Manitou MT 625 telescopic forklift at my warehouse for over a year now. This model has proven itself to be a functional and practical piece of equipment. Equipped with a Kubota V2403-CR-TE4B diesel engine, the forklift demonstrates good traction characteristics and fuel efficiency. During operation, I had to replace the air filter and oil filter as part of routine maintenance. My advice is to always perform scheduled inspections and replace the most in-demand parts on time.

This model's modern approach with lithium-ion batteries reduces maintenance costs significantly, which I value. However, a small compromise is the limited operational duration per charge.

Had a chance to use the Manitou MLT x 741 140 VI Plus on the farm all season. The cab is super quiet, which is not something you see a lot in this class. My back used to get sore after a day in other loaders but that seat with pneumatic suspension is actually decent, even on long days. Controls are all mostly on the armrest, and I do like how the joystick works with one hand so I can keep my other hand on the wheel. Only small annoyance is the buttons: they got all these colors and positions you can change, which is cool, but feels complicated at first if you’re not used to these new ones. The view from the cab is solid, especially with the big windshield and mirrors. Haven't had issues with storage - plenty of spots to jam your stuff in. If you ask me, it’s a comfortable place to spend hours in, as long as you don’t mind learning all the controls.

Been driving the MLT 732 for 200+ hours so far, and nothing major has gone wrong. I heard some guys complain about lack of multi-action switching like on newer units, but after a week you forget about that. I just wish the joystick felt a little less clunky sometimes, but really, it's manageable. I dig how much easier it is to get stuff up high or in tight spaces, you wouldn't do half these jobs with the old kit. Swapping forks or the bucket is quick enough, I don't waste much time in between jobs, and the view all around is decent except for when you stack all the way up - the mirrors do help though. Not perfect, but mostly hassle-free so far.

We’ve got one of the Manitou MLT telehandlers in the ag spec with the Powershift box. It’ll do 40 km/h on the road so moving between yards isn’t a pain. The three steering modes are what I use most: 2-wheel for travel, 4-wheel in the yard, crab when you’re trying not to clip stuff alongside a wall. You do have to straighten the wheels to switch modes, which is sensible, but it slows you down a bit when you’re in a rush.

Hydraulics feel strong. Variable pump, around the 150 L/min mark, so it’s happy doing lift + extend + tilt without that lag. The quick coupler and the easy-connect pressure dump is a real thing too, hookups don’t turn into a fight with the lines.

Maintenance side: access is decent. Engine on the side, covers open up, filters make sense, and they grouped grease points at the rear which saves time. The reversing fan for radiator cleaning is handy in dusty work, I run it forced sometimes when it’s chaff season.

I’m mixed on the cab electronics. The screen gives you lots of info (service reminders, codes, settings) but when something pops up red you’re basically calling the dealer anyway.

For daily farm jobs, I think this Manitou gets you sorted without much fluff. Hydraulics have all the flow I need, haven’t had any issues with that. I actually like the pressure release button in the cab, saves a lot of headache connecting attachments. I don’t really haul trailers with it, but towing light stuff isn’t a drama. Controls are simple enough, but yeah, like any telehandler you sort of feel like you’re in a fishbowl with all the glass. Cab’s roomy, A/C works, no complaints there. Wouldn’t call the loader dirt cheap, but you get what you pay for and I haven’t had to call out for any serious fixes yet. Guess it could always be a bit quicker on the road but for my paddock work, it’s sweet.
