[@tonifuller8962]

Great video, a new toy to play with

[@JMFarming]

Woo!

[@sunroofracing]

Lovely piece of engineering in these electric machines. Seems like it turns very well, strong work with the hydraulics. Looking forward to seeing your testing. Thanks for the demo/tour!

[@JMFarming]

It’s a fantastic machine for its size!

[@John-ng2vg]

Hi Josh that's a grand little machine I bet it works right good in tight place's, just think if the front wheel's just had a slight turn on them. Also the height is good in low building's really good for farm work. I would say as good as a bob cat. Sharllote Ashley should have one on demonstration. Great stuff Josh take care.

[@JMFarming]

It certainly is! I'm sure we could find lots of jobs for it!

[@garymadden2656]

Nice piece of kit Josh 👌👌

[@JMFarming]

Thanks Gary!

[@paulthompson8467]

That's a great wee machine much better than a bobcat as you could drive it on the road plus it lifts more and higher too cheers for the awesome demo video 👍

[@JMFarming]

Thanks Paul, would be a great machine to have on the farm!

[@paddy294]

Cracking video as always josh. The telehandler looks a nifty machine. You were like a kid on Christmas morning

[@JMFarming]

Haha, I am rubbish at hiding excitement! Thanks Paddy!

[@rogermillar4833]

Looks good but have you considered the Faresin 6m or 17m fully electric telehandle, comes in a range of battery capacities. 6m machines can be hired in UK from GGR Group

[@JMFarming]

To be honest, these guys are on our doorstep as a dealer so if we were to get an electric one we probably wouldn’t look elsewhere.

[@antonyfarming]

Looks a great bit of kit in the right environment as long as you remember the plug it in 🤣🤣

[@JMFarming]

Haha yes that is the main issue!

[@sandymcghee3328]

Good video josh nice tidy machine that would do Dr. Phil. At his farm 👍👍👍

[@JMFarming]

Thanks Sandy! He'd need to get some electric in there first!

[@sandymcghee3328]

@@JMFarming Is Dr. Phil still in the dark age

[@willyfindlay4398]

Hi Josh, I presume the Leccy Merlot has to stay on the concrete ?? No field work loading the muck spreader for it ??

[@JMFarming]

Yeah I don’t think it’s designed for field work!

[@2626stephen]

Nice little toy you be like noddy driving that around. Cracking for the tight spaces that bucket a bit huge

[@JMFarming]

The bucket is definitely too big for it! 😂

[@philipjmcloughlin2299]

Thats a cool little loader josh be interesting to see it working

[@JMFarming]

Hoping to get it doing some work soon!

[@rogerofrhodri]

Neat little package

[@JMFarming]

Does a lot for a small machine!

[@Cristi-Neagu019]

you would be a great salesman for agricultural machines.

[@JMFarming]

Well you never know where you are going to end up!

[@ericteneyck8691]

I once had an apartment smaller than that bucket I think.

[@JMFarming]

😂😂 plenty of space in that!

[@johnaldous1028]

Hi Josh looks a good machine But having worked most of my working life with electric fork/pallet trucks there great until some idiot forgets to plug it in

[@JMFarming]

Haha, yes that is the downside. No quick way to get it running if its flat!

[@evannagle4352]

Can we see you using the bale slice in the background

[@JMFarming]

Probably not, we don’t use it. Thinking of selling it!

[@j1mmusj4mmus]

Well the Merlo won't add as much to the carbon footprint of the small ruminant facility as the manitou would.

[@JMFarming]

Well that’s true! The manitou isn’t much good in there, too big to get in the pens

[@FrancoMunnik]

Hey josh. Just taking a shot here. You dont maybe have a job available there for me ? I have 6 years of sheep , cattle and ostrich experience. I am 22 and from south africa

[@JMFarming]

I’m afraid not at the moment

[@jasdunlop9907]

Had battery forklifts in the past hope the battery tech has come on a bit cause the one in the past were in a duck up great size machine just put a diesel in engine in job done cause when it's just gone out of warranty the battery will be nackered

[@JMFarming]

I’m guessing you’d be changing it at 6 years old when the battery’s are out of warranty. We would be changing the diesel handler before that age anyway!

[@jasdunlop9907]

Got a loadall at 10 yrs old pre add blue it here to stay , Manitou buggyscoppic1995 and a manibuggy 1985 and hopefully still be going when the electric forklifts are all nackered and wondering how to recycle batteries

[@jeremymassey5940]

Dont believe all the spell and crap the dealers tell you about the charge times ,I've sern machines with stated 8 hour working time per charge stop after 2 1/2 with flat batteries,

[@JMFarming]

Only one way to find out!

[@ajmfarminguk]

Awesome video mate and it looks like a good londer

[@JMFarming]

Great little machine!
