I put a few hours on the 7:30, mostly loading out hay. It's got some grunt for a compact handler, motor pulls well even when stacked high. Big plus for the easy connect thing by the attachment, makes changing out buckets and forks less of a pain. Not crazy about the side mirrors, takes a second to get them lined up right, but visibility out the front is solid with that grid. Haven't had it long enough to say about service issues but so far nothing's come up. Price was a bit steep for a smaller machine, but I guess you pay for the lift height.

MLT 937 feels aimed right at normal ag work. 3.7t capacity is enough for most stuff we do, and the 9m lift saves time when you’re stacking high or working over a barrier. Engine power (116hp) is there, it doesn’t feel lazy when you’re moving heavy bales across the yard.

I’m kind of mixed on the trim levels. The Classic will do the job but you can tell it’s the basic spec. Premium is nicer for long days, the cab temp control is just less annoying, simple as that. DAB radio is whatever, but I get why people want it.

Overall it drives clean and the hydraulics respond well, just don’t pretend it’s going to be cheap to buy in the first place.

Been in construction a while and honestly, wasn't sure about this whole electric thing but the MT625e is pretty capable. Small size fits in over-tight spots and doesn’t wreck the ground. Controls are comfy, I like the joystick a lot. Not having to do so much maintenance is a plus, especially when parts are getting expensive. You do notice the difference in noise-sometimes feels weird not hearing the engine. Charging is the main hiccup. Extended battery is better if you can get it, but I just deal with it. Safety features are decent, haven’t seen too many issues. It’s new tech, so time will tell on reliability. For now, works fine.

I’ve spent the better part of my career bouncing between loaders and telehandlers, and honestly, the Manitou MLT-X 732 is one of the easier ones to get your head around. The controls feel natural, that JSM joystick? Didn’t take long at all to get used to. I do a lot of work in tight sheds and with the visibility out of these big glass windows, I don’t find myself double-checking as much. The sunshade’s a small thing but after a few hours, you’ll appreciate it. Only bit that annoys me is having to clean out wood chips from the engine bay-wish they’d bothered with bigger drain holes. Everything else, pretty good. Maintenance seems straightforward, nothing too tricky. Didn’t play around much with the more advanced attachments yet though.

Been running the Manitou MLT X 737 130 PS Plus for about a month doing steady farm work. The cab is surprisingly comfy, honestly didn't expect to be this relaxed after long days. Good noise insulation, enough storage spots for all my stuff, and the controls are easy to reach. Vision is clear, no annoying blind spots. My only gripe is the buttons - they're all lit up and color-coded, which is fine, but sometimes when it's sunny, that glare makes it tough to spot exactly what you need, and I wish the display was just a bit bigger or less reflective. Still, the ride feels steady, and seat adjustment options are solid. Not perfect, but for cab comfort, it's a big improvement over what I drove before.

Recently used the Manitou MLT 735 for a project, and here are my thoughts. The hydraulic pickup hitch simplifies attaching equipment, a big advantage during busy days. I found the cab pretty comfortable; the air-suspended driver's seat is a relief during long hours. Rear halogen work lights provided sufficient illumination. Minor wear marks and faded paint give it a used look but nothing structurally concerning. The 40K power shift gearbox operates smoothly and adds efficiency. It's solid, although better upkeep could elevate its appeal.

I've been using the MT 625e recently, and I appreciate its electric design-no emissions and quiet operation make it great for urban or indoor tasks. The lift capacity of 2.5 tons is workable, though a slightly longer battery life would help on extended jobs.

Been running the MLT 850 on grain and wood chip moving. Noticeably higher work rate, feels like I’m loading trailers way quicker than before. Hydraulics are punchy and I get through the jobs without much fuss. Big plus for me is the Stop & Start thing, definitely cuts down idling times at the pile. Kinda weird at first when the engine cuts, but you stop noticing after a couple days. Reaching all the grease points is actually pretty easy with everything grouped together, and air filter clears out without tools. That said, there’s still the usual amount of dust to deal with around the radiators, so you’re not escaping that. I can work a full day and not crawl out totally worn out, the seat and noise levels are good. Feels robust, but it does take a bit to get used to all the different controls if you’re new to the newer Manitou kit.

We’ve got the MLT X 737 130 PS+ as the main handler for bales and feed. It’s got the safety stuff dialed in (ROPS/FOPS, load stability warnings, locks out sketchy moves). Good for keeping things under control when different operators jump in.

Ergonomics are mostly solid: easy step getting in/out, decent storage everywhere, phone holder + USB/12V is nice because people actually use that. Seat (Grammer) does a good job on rough yards, less back pain, simple as that. Mirrors and wipers coverage are better than older machines too.

Mixed feelings: the machine is packed with electronic options, and when it throws a code you end up staring at the screen and calling the dealer anyway. Also the safety override button (temporary disable) is useful but it can tempt people to do dumb moves. That’s more an operator problem, but still.

Overall it’s a comfortable daily tool if you keep up on basic checks.

Been on an MLT 741-130 PS+ for feeding work and yard jobs, and it’s basically built for that routine. Cab is the big win for me. One step in, roomy enough, and that single-piece door feels less fragile than the split ones (I’ve cracked enough doors over the years…). Joystick sits right where your hand wants it, no weird wrist angle after a long morning.

Eco mode is actually useful. We set it to kill the engine after a couple mins sitting and it cuts the pointless idling hours. Helps on fuel and when it comes time to move it on. Cameras feeding into the in-cab screen are handy too, reverse cam popping on by itself stops a lot of stupid bumps.

Not perfect though: there’s this annoying delay after turning the key before it’ll let you start. And needing the key just to pop the bonnet… why. Auto park brake took me a bit to trust as well.
