All the track loader history from Manitou,inevitably comes from takeuchi many years ago when tak was making skids for Gehl.The older Gehl machines were awesome.Manitou builds nice equipment.

Wayne, what a great overview of the Manitou CTLs. In your interaction with Manitou, did they mention their plans for dealership expansion? Living in the South East United States, both Gehl and Manitou have a very limited presence in the CTL market.

Hey Jeff, from Manitou: Manitou and GEHL do have dealer relationships throughout the country, but we are always looking to work with new partners, and there are markets in the Southeastern United States we'd love to talk with new potential partners. People can find dealers near them here: Manitou: www.manitou.com/en-US/store-locator Gehl: www.gehl.com/en-US/store-locator

Took the manitou vt230 on demo , really liked the machine especially rollup door. Only reason for not purchasing. Large cast steel links on both sided of machine that guide lift arms have about 3 inches of side to side play . When turning with bucket loaded arms would pop and bang . Not sure what manitou was thinking here . Needs to shimmied . All other machines with cast links do not have any play side to side.

Way too unbalanced for me...the video of it in operation lost me ...cant compare with the Kubota SVL 75 3 or any other one produced by them in my 35 years of experience opinion ....
