Testing a new Manitou loader

The manitou ML-5 is a NEW Wheel loader coming to the U.S. Its runs 19 mph! Has 3 speeds & is a Compact Loader Loader that won't DAMAGE turf?!? Prove it!

[@CZAnthonyX]

I'm happy to see Manitou machines here in the US! For the longest time I thought they were strictly used overseas, they seen like decent machine! Hope you have a good day! Be safe out there!

[@Dirtmonkey]

You betcha 😁 I’m stoked to be sharing about em! Hope you have a good one yourself bud

[@coreypoppen516]

I believe they are made in Yankton, South Dakota. The skid steers are made in Madison, South Dakota.

[@detroitbob58]

I don't know if I could really trust a salesman wearing YELLOW CROCS!!! LOL!

[@Dirtmonkey]

I think anyone that wears yellow crocs is even more trustworthy. I wouldn’t trust him if he was wearing a suit and tie 😉😁👍

Any equipment with a cab I've been quite a fan of. I wish I had one with compact tractor, so I decided to build my own and it's going to be ready for even night use for snow plowing due to the vast amount of lights that'll be on it lol. So far I only have the canopy to start, then I'll build around that.

[@Dirtmonkey]

That’s awesome. Makes it even cooler you’re doing it yourself. Hope it works out smoothly for you 👊

[@glennwolfe1663]

Stan, that appears to be an awesome machine. It seems that maintenance issues were considered during the development stage. Thanks for sharing this with us👍👍👍👍👍😺🤗🐺

Lol, I am blessed with the greatest salesman in all of North America (Manitou) in my backyard, he has sold me several machines lol... I played with one a while ago, he had the first 2 in north America... I was definitely impressed. Too small for my operation though. Would like to add that it you could also get it with the Manitou mount instead of the skid loader mount.

Worked with a Mantou on a farm but it had tge extention boom. Good machine. Had a Perkins diesel.

[@Dirtmonkey]

Sounds sweeet 👍

[@jonathanerber3617]

You should borrow it again this winter and compare it to the Kubota! I got to drive this same machine and was impressed with the engine accessibility and the 3 speed. You road your stuff allot in the winter just like I do and I think that highspeed would be worth it.

[@Porty1119]

Transverse/side-mounted engines are really the way to go. It's a more efficient use of space and allows the machine to be shorter and/or lower.

[@Dirtmonkey]

Yes sir. Overall these machines just keep getting more advanced and efficient

[@billfenner7084]

I am looking forward to seeing this machine working.

[@tomstradinger5958]

Like the idea of engine in the back while doing grapple work so no worries of puncturing the radiator of say a tractor. Or damaging the door on a skid steer.

[@stanhensley3082]

You must have to charge a pretty big price per hour for a machine with price tag like this loader has. Going to great to watch the coming videos. Thanks 😊.

[@zack9912000]

tax write off, if done right you dont pay any taxes.

[@Dirtmonkey]

The cost of the machine gets calculated into overhead which then goes against your job costing.

[@gtplandscaping4392]

look into a cat 908. id love to see more yellow equipment!

[@Dirtmonkey]

Haha noted

[@RiverValleyLandscaping]

I agree but only if hes not planning to tow it, twice the weight of what he was looking at in the video. Couldn’t imagine doing 20mph down the road in anything with smaller wheels/tires than a 908 cus even that is rough riding at times. I’ve never tried one of these smaller loaders with the skinny arm spacing and I’m curious how it is compared to a 908 or something similar. I feel like when using forks looking between the lift arms and center curl cylinder is a huge advantage compared to this manitou/Wacker style where you are looking to the outside of the lift arms

[@bill4485]

Hey stan, any recommendations for someone to do dirt work north of Duluth?

[@briansledd4836]

So is this something you are interested in now, or was this made before you got the newest loader?

[@seandonaghy9224]

I was curious when he was making his turn does the tractor have a zero radius will it turn into its own tracks it kind of didn't look so sometimes that is a nice ability it's funny though to me that the skid steer world hasn't come up with a oscillating track system on their machines and even cooler to have a crab mode now it's nice to drive a tractor when you're high up you have more visual but I've always loved the skid steer you have a lower clearance lower center of gravity you can seem to go into more places with a skid steer but yes you tear everything up underneath it today I was using a little ditch witch ride on skid steer unfortunately I don't know the model because the stickers on it have been peeled off but that little machine made a two-day job by hand and wheelbarrow a one-day job and the funny thing is is that the bucket on the machine would probably take two and a half scoops to fill up your standard wheelbarrow of material we like to mount our wheelbarrows it saves at least 10 less trips I don't know if that was a purchase or a lease or a lender but can't wait to see it in action

[@themintlord4744]

I thought the kubota you got last winter was the new loader. Are you getting another one?

[@almangrant7358]

This is the next generation loader (due to emissions) similar to the old Gehl AL540.The difference between a Cast loader and this type is that the Cast articulates with no oscillation, which is less sketchy . The Manitou or Gehl articulates and oscillates which can flip over carrying a heavy load if there is a pot hole or high spot on one side. I would tell a novice operator "keep the load low and slow" on uneven terrain.

[@Miniloaders]

It goes a bit both ways. Front steer type loaders (Avant, Cast, Vermeer etc) can tip over as well because they have the rigid frame. Giant loaders made a nice video on this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/paC6q6ljr99jfqM& (Giant Loaders G1500 comparison to Bobcat L28)

[@Porty1119]

The Homestake Mine in South Dakota had issues with center-oscillating EIMCO 921 loaders, they tended to tip on rough ground. An oscillating rear axle bolster is preferable as it doesn't affect the machine's center of gravity nearly as much.

[@almangrant7358]

@@Miniloaders The reality of the physics is when carrying a load the ridgid joint will be more stable. The oscillating joint would be be better for digging or pushing. Giant does have the oscillation damper option calle Stabillo to remedy inertia caused by radical terrain variations. There is a video from Giant.
