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.

Been running the MLT 625 for about six months now mostly around the yard and fields, swapping between forks and bucket. The boom’s single extension setup is sturdy. Doesn’t flex much even when I’m lifting heavy round bales all the way up. Visibility out the cab is alright but I wish the door swung out just a touch wider. The joystick (JSM) takes a bit to get used to with all the functions crammed into it, but once you figure it out, one-handed operation works well. Maintenance is solid - everything’s right there, easy to grab. Parts show up quick if you need em, never had to wait more than 2 days. Engine’s reliable, not too thirsty. Could use a bit more power up hills with a load, though not a big gripe. All in, does what I need, just with a couple quirks.

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.
