Dont make the same mistake i did when we first got our merlo. Going down the road at 40kph and reach for the indicator (being used to manitou without left hand shuttle) and put the thing into reverse and nearly got shot through the front windscreen as it stops from 40kph in about half a second🤣🤣
Just had same size merlo on demo. Very impressed, better than the new claas liebher we had on demo. Cycle times were so quick with that revving joystick, cab suspension was very nice as we do a lot of roadwork. And it was quick on the road. Impressed.
I think your country produce one of the best, if not the best, telehandlers in the world. You should support these products and replace the 531 with one brand new or one 542. I hope Greece were able to produce these staff but anyway we will stick again with the jcb. Great vid btw
Hi George seems a good little farm loader nice and short and manoeuvrable but that hydrolick pump would drive me potty . hope you and Lizzy are well .Like the new shed tidy .
One thing that you have to watch out for is when you have the door clipped back open that you dont smash it on anything. My brother has broken 4 of them and they are 500 pounds a go
Another excellent video George, have you any other manufacturers' machines lined up to demo? Then it's time for the nitty-gritty, such as purchase price, warranty, operating costs, proximity of the nearest dealer etc. Perhaps if there are other contenders it could be a good subject for Torquing Point to cover if you are able to drag those reprobates to sunny Bedfordshire?
Discussing purchase costs publicly is rather crass even though some like to boast about what they pay just to impress others. The deal one dealer gives may not be the same as another plus discounts at the time of purchase vary so it’s actually fairly pointless and unprofessional.
Unless you're able to get a final discounted price from every dealer it's not possible to say. If we're going to get picky then perhaps I should have said "list price". However, list price is where negotiations start of course and it is sometimes considered bad form to disclose final figures.
Afternoon george so has it impressed enough to replace a jcb. Other thing whilst u mentioned about scrabbling were u aware of the diff lock ( little button on the floor next to the door)
Is there any option to override the load monitor like on JCBs? When you're moving from an older machine to something like this it's hard to deal with a load monitor that's much more prominent so at least being able to override it is helpful. The thing that impresses with me so much is the visability from the drivers position that seems to be significantly better than that of a Kramer for example.
@@GeorgeSaunders Thanks for the reply. Great video as always, really selling the Merlo as a viable option for this kind of farm. Interesting to see if you can get a new JCB on demo for comparison
Merlo is good but there are a lot of hydrolic leaks and the hydrolic engine was out in 4000hours so merlo is a good brand but the cost of reparation is up Sorry for my english i from France🇨🇵
Hi George.. lovely work as normal.. I wondering maybe a big counter weight on the rear of the Merlo just to allow for the tipping problem caused by the weight of the Muck? And I was thinking about the traction and general control of the Merlo, Would the machine be better if they built it like the big combines are with a set of triangle tracks at the front and the normal tires at the rear? This would not only give better control and traction on wet muddy surfaces at the front, But also spread the load forces out better from the heavy load being carried, Also a HD video Camera on the front boom looking down at the area being done would help you to get up to the wall without hitting it as your own view from the cab is blocked by the load! Shame your old cow shed is not laid out so you drive straight through picking up the muck and carrying on forwards to load it on the trailer then reverse back into the shed to pick up the next load and so on! I see the cows are damn nosy they keep going up to see what's going on then run off when the Merlo gets close to the fence. Have good week George I will look forward to seeing more mad muck mad cows and fun.

Great video as always George keep it up.the merlo should be the new telehanderler
The front and rear axle sure makes it nice for getting in and out of tight places. looks like a rear nice machine.
Thanks George , I enjoyed that 👍🏻 great driving in such a small work area
Just had same size merlo on demo. Very impressed, better than the new claas liebher we had on demo. Cycle times were so quick with that revving joystick, cab suspension was very nice as we do a lot of roadwork. And it was quick on the road. Impressed.
I agree with you about what you say about trying different machines you think the mark that you always had is good until you try something else
Great video George can’t wait for another 👍
Very agile in tight areas. Sweet !
Nice vid George mate top job

It's a very good telenhandler, cab noise is no different to a JCB. Good luck with that disco.
Lovely George, bit tight in that shed, but we'll handled. 👍👍👍👍
Great video George
Nice compact looking machine George, Richard seems to be at home in it too:):)
Another great video. Thanks for taking the time.
Try a jcb TM320 they are what we use on our dairy farm and I wouldn’t go with anything different
Good video George! Impressed so far!
Great vid george
Thanks george always a great vid.
Do a farm and machinery tour
Good one George!
Like the Merlo. There is a large importer/ distributor in the USA now, along w/ a # of independent dealers.
the only thing I thought about the new merlo was the hydraulics were a bit noisy compared to JCB George
Michael Slinn bet if you take it out of (eco) mode and just set the knob 3/4 of the way round they would be Quieter
Got that job bossed George good machine
If you've a dealer nearby try a Kramer hydro same as merlo but better build quality and reliability.
One thing that you have to watch out for is when you have the door clipped back open that you dont smash it on anything. My brother has broken 4 of them and they are 500 pounds a go
Your brother should keep the door shut.
I once had the top half opened on our old Sanderson, it popped off going down the road and I didn’t realise for half a mile 😂
@@GeorgeSaunders yea we have told him a few times🤣🤣
Hi George
Great video
Only started watching ur videos
Did ye have a lot of cattle
You have a lot of round bales
And feed bins
And great machine
What do you put in the grain bins it the background? Great videi.
Good video George 👍🏻

Live it George tidy tellehandler like very tidy indeed
Love not live lol
Hallo george good Film from merlo teleloader. The Konzept is in all teleloader the same.
Lovely ol job!
Does the grab hit the boom when fully open and fully crowded back looked awfully close
Good video 👍 seems to be a good powerful agile machine 💪💪
You should look at trying a bobcat teleporter Jpm Agricultural are a Deler for bob cat teleporters
Get it bought George!
Afternoon george so has it impressed enough to replace a jcb. Other thing whilst u mentioned about scrabbling were u aware of the diff lock ( little button on the floor next to the door)
Yes, you just forget about it!
5:38 I thought for a moment that this video could have had a very snappy title.
@@felixjames5732 More like "I tried to run over my cameraman!"
Oh George that Merlo is sooooo FS17:-)))))) It's a shame they didn't bring it into FS19 though.
Playing a children’s computer game isn’t like the real thing no matter how much you try and convince yourself.
Jose Beaner it’s for people who don’t get to drive this stuff I drive tractor and telehandlers pretty much every day but still like it
Is it very noisy in cab or is just camera Mr
No it's not noisy
What do you think of the Multifarmer George I had a to 50.8 out same size as the Multifarmer. Was very impressed with it.
2:40 bit scary George ha ha
Looks like the Merlo might be winning you over, how long do you have it to demo?
Like the Merlo, would be a fine choice

Yes you can override the load monitor if you manage to lock the boom out, similar to that on the JCB
@@GeorgeSaunders Thanks for the reply. Great video as always, really selling the Merlo as a viable option for this kind of farm. Interesting to see if you can get a new JCB on demo for comparison
Who works on the farm George
Good looking masheen
It’s quieter in our jcb cab 😂
nice unit, were is the dogs!!
How long does it take to fill your muck spreader? It seems to be never ending. Lol. That is a nice bit of kit to be sure.
Looks overall a good machine, but are the hydraulics as quick as a JCB........
lee-hall agri we just got a new 532-70 JCB, absolutely brilliant
Приветствую! Что лучше по твоим впечатлениям, JCB или MERLO?
Merlo is good but there are a lot of hydrolic leaks and the hydrolic engine was out in 4000hours so merlo is a good brand but the cost of reparation is up
Sorry for my english i from France🇨🇵
Once you go hydrostatic you never go back

re bonjour George malgres que je comprend l anglais que du bonheur tes vidéos
Interesting vid George, you certainly put it through it’s paces - what’s the price comparison with say an equivalent JCB?
A Merlo 42.7 would cost roughly 60k to 65k depending on hours & year & JCB 541-70 agri would cost about 70k to 75k
Mossy Wossy - Thank you, that has surprised me!
Is the merlo yours
No it's a demo
Don't like the bucket leaves a mess good power .
Fold yer mirror in yer gona hit it aff the wa
The constant noise from the pumps is annoying. Perhaps it is picked up by the mic more than your ears?
It was no different to any other telenhandler, I didn't notice it, but it seems the video picked the sound up
@@GeorgeSaunders
I thought that might have been the case. They all whine a bit but I've never driven a Merlo as noisy as that sounded before.
Seems very noisy in the cab.
No different to any other telenhandler.
