I've always used different telehandlers, tried out the Manitou MLT 937 recently on a friend's dairy. First thing, the controls are super responsive, hydraulic pump manages loads fine-I was lifting grain and moving pallet forks without much drama. The optional LED lights are actually useful once it gets dark (really wish more machines started making this standard). Didn't try too many attachments, but it's set up for a ton of stuff, makes things less of a hassle when you swap out. Heat/AC was alright but took a bit to really get going on a cold morning. Can't say I loved the yellow steps and extra handles, they kinda stand out but do make getting in with muddy boots easier. Maintenance-wise, haven't dealt with it personally, but automatic greasing sounds like a smart move if it'll cut down on downtime.

I've had the chance to operate the MLT 735, and overall, it's a solid telehandler. The 7m reach combined with a 3.5-ton lift capacity comes in handy for most tasks. The LED front work lights are a nice feature for working into the evening. I've noticed a slight fade near the exhaust and a couple of scratches on the body-not ideal, but nothing that affects functionality. Air conditioning makes a big difference for comfort. After using it for a few projects, I'd give it a thumbs-up, but it does have some small nicks.

I’ve primarily used the MT 732 for agricultural tasks. It handles well overall, though the maintenance could've been slightly less frequent. Comfort level in the cabin is acceptable for longer durations. Its uptime reliability was solid throughout.

I've run a lot of handlers and this 1840's torque and traction actually surprised me. We're on pretty rough ground lately, and the four wheel steer and clearance got me in spots I'm not used to with some other brands. Swapping out attachments like the bucket and forks is quick with that Easy Connect, though the hook up still feels a bit stiff if it's cold out. Dash is straightforward and the joystick's easy on the wrist, I do appreciate that cab step upgrade-less climbing, less tripping. Just wish the dash screen wasn't so tiny. For what we do, gets the job done fine. Little rattly on bumpy days, I guess that's par for the course in this size though.
