MLT AGRI
Manitou and farming, an ongoing story. The MLT range has already become
the reference. Quite simply because the MLT lets you reach ever higher targets
in terms of quality and productivity more comfortably and with more safety.
There are thousands of you who have trusted in us already and naturally
we just could not let you down. This is why we have put our years of experience
in farm handling into this new range. Because we are always listening to your needs,
your advice, and your expectations.
So as Manitou is undeniably the leader in farm handling equipment, it is thanks to you,
but also thanks to a network of dedicated professional dealers,
specialists in handling and really the only ones of their kind in the world.
It is with all these things in mind that we are writing a new chapter
in the story of the MLT.
This is the widest range on the market suited to your needs.

Performance
Standing up to anything
Because the MLT is going to work longer hours than any other machine on your farm, we
wanted to make it really rugged.
■ a machine-welded monobloc chassis means it is strong enough to withstand the toughest
conditions.
■ one-piece box-section booms made of high tensile steel are designed to take heavy strain.
The generous overlap of the components of the boom and the large surface area of the
wear pads, continuously lubricated and maintenance-free, are a guarantee of reliability.
■ A widely tried and tested loader transmission system helps optimise performance, no
matter what the application.
Manitou was the first to use a transverse mount for the engine to provide:
• an even more compact machine
• total visibility from the cab
• and even more space and power for the hydraulic pump.
The bevel gearbox (Manitou patent), unique in its design, distributes power to the gearbox
and to the two transmission shafts.
In standard configuration, the limited slip differential on the front axle assembly provides
exceptional traction on all kinds of terrain.
The hydraulically assisted brakes are proportional and powerful. Braking is always
distributed across all four wheels.
The MLT 523/627, on the other hand, have the diesel engine positioned at the rear for the
sake of compactness.
A high-performance engine
Manitou has decided to equip its Maniscopic through a partnership with Perkins.
■ Perkins is the world leader in designing and producing high-performance diesel engines,
■ The engines have the advantage of high and constant torque as well as large torque
reserves. They guarantee low fuel consumption and can run on biodiesel
Perkins engines meet the world's needs in terms of productivity and endurance to perfection.
New generation
Perkins Engine
The need for transmission with torque converter
Handling farming materials is a demanding business : mucking out animal houses, pulling
trailers or loading grain. To meet these demands, we have equipped our torque converter
transmission with a Soft Shift valve to modulate clutch pressure.
Result : you have very smooth acceleration on start-up and smooth forward/reverse
flexibility on all our MLTs, with unique traction and drive performance that no other self-
powered handling machine on the market can rival.
In combination with a gearbox containing four totally synchronised forward and reverse
gears, this transmission lets you select the right ratio for every operation.
Gear changes are made on the move, using the gear lever and the transmission cut-out
switch located on it.
Choice of transmission
Manitou is the only manufacturer to offer a large range of machines fitted with the
transmission that meets your individual needs :
• Torque converter combined with the Powershuttle manual gearbox,
• Torque converter combined with the Powershift gearbox,
• Hydrostatic.

The comfort of the 6 speed Powershift
This gearbox is electronically controlled by an ECU (Electronic Control Unit) system, which
ensures synchronised gear-changes and prevents any mistakes when
suddenly changing down.
The controls on the JSM joystick make it easy to
change gear.
The Powershift box provides 6 forward gears, the
6th being automatic for speeds up to 42 km/h,
and 3 reverse gears.
• A cyclonic pre-filter – standard equipment on all
MLT Maniscopics – reduces theintake of particle-laden air whichwould rapidly clog up the air filter
• No warm air recycled from the engine's airtight
compartment
• Airflow channelled without
turbulence
• Double inlets providing asubstantial volume of air,
protected by grilles
• Up to four independentradiators, each for a separate
component – engine, transmission, turbo,
hydraulic system
• A cooling systemwith high vertical
throughput
• Size of honeycombingdesigned to provide theoptimum heat-exchange
surface
In all situations
The generously designed vertical flow cooling system (up to four independent systems, depending on the model: engine, transmission, turbo,
hydraulic circuit) allows you to work long hours in the most demanding conditions.
Comfort
Because your Maniscopic will be the machine you use most on your farm,
Manitou has designed MLT cabs to meet the needs of the most demanding
drivers.
Visibly effective
■ the position of the cab, its wide step and handles make it easy to get in and out
of the cab, while the machine itself is extremely compact with an overall height
of < 2.35m for MLT 6-7-10.
We have also virtually eliminated the rear overhang so that the turning radius
and turning circle are exceptionally tight.
■ the cab is designed to give you more working space and total safety (cabs
comply with the various strength standards : ROPS/FOPS and ANSI).
■ the engine silent block mounts, and use of insulating materials minimise
noise and vibrations.
■ the seat has multiple adjustments and is fully ergonomic, while with the height
and depth-adjustable steering column you can be sure to set the best driving
position.
■ a large window area (tinted) provides exceptional visibility. The cutaway line of
the flat engine cover, very low boom pivot point, large rear-view mirrors on each
side, windscreen wipers on front and rear screens and the roof window as well as
the right side window (depending on the model) ; the sun visor fitted to windscreen
and roof window as well as the working lights, are all items which ensure unrivalled
visibility.
■ the ventilation/heating/air-conditioning system, distributes air flow to
4 adjustable outlets (2 at foot level and the other 2 at the base of the windscreen)
to rapidly produce an even temperature and total demisting of the
windscreen.
■ The control dials, indicator lights and controls are all positioned to be visible and
within easy reach.
Offset to the right, the instrument panel particularly includes a rev counter/
speedometer/hour meter, fuel gauge, water temperature gauge, clock, all function
lights and a graduated load indicator. At a single glance you have all the information
you need to drive the MLT clearly visible.
On your right, the controls are grouped according to function: transmission/
hydraulics/lighting.
To your left, the handbrake is fitted with a safety catch.
Totally manoeuvrable
■ The steering lock is completed in 2 turns of the steering wheel and for even more manoeuvrability, MLTs have 3 steering modes:
Crabwise mode for a sideways
approach.
4 wheel steering for a tight turning
circle.
2 wheel steering for travelling at speed
or towing a trailer.
■ A real extension of the driver's arm, the new JSM control lever (depending on model) groups the boom and forward/reverse functions.
The driver therefore has his left hand totally dedicated to steering while his right hand controls the boom and direction change mode.
The JSM is a real multifunctional lever.
Combined with LSU hydraulics working at 150l/min, only an MLT can combine three simultaneous movements to increase efficiency
on your loading duties.
For greater comfort
■ For even greater comfort, the optional CRC provides safe boom suspension for driving comfort on roads and in
fields, and reduces strain on components.
The driver can also use the floating position when mucking out, thereby limiting bucket wear and avoiding
damage to the concrete floor.
■ The optional autocleansystem provides efficient and uniform cleaning of radiators and suction grids every 3 minutes when
they are clogged, reversing air flow without having to leave the Maniscopic cab and at any engine speed.
Finally, different clever storage compartments mean you can carry all you need.
Precision
Within hand's reach
With the levers, you can guide all the functions of the telescopic boom.

For total control
For total control of working speed, the optional
FCS provides up to 2 functions:
- first, you can adjust the speed on the accessory
line to modulate the grip opening speed of a
bale grab.
- secondly, you can work at an adjustable
continuous speed, to feed accessories such as a
silage unloading-distributor bucket, mulcher or
sweeper bucket.
Flexibility
Handling materials on the farm demands very
short cycle times as well as real flexibility. For this,
we have fitted our torque converter transmission
with a "Soft Shift" valve that modulates the clutch
pressure.
As a result, you have smooth progressive
movement when moving away and great flexibility
when moving between forward and reverse on all
our MLTs.
Of course, there is no clutch pedal but a simple
electro-hydraulic lever, to the left of the steering wheel, to make your job easier once
again.

Load Sensing Ultra: load more in less time
■ Load Sensing Ultra is a Manitou exclusive, derived from
Manitou skill and the experience gained in developing
our Maniscopics for your needs. It offers incomparable
and unique performance than no other telescopic
farm loader on the market can provide.
■ An "intelligent" hydraulic system.
MLT LSUs are equipped with a load-sen-
sing hydraulic system consisting of a
variable flow piston pump providing
the flow rate and pressure nee-
ded for each movement (up to
150 l/min-270 bars), and a
pressure compensated
valve adapting flow to
demand and therefore
total movement: up to
3 simultaneous, pro-
portional movements
are possible, for
increased producti-
vity!
With power
Flexibility and accuracy are not incompatible with power. Which is why we fitted our MLTs
with a gear pump to give a hydraulic output of up to 105 litres per minute at 250 bars
(depending on the model).
And because you sometimes use attachments that need substantial hydraulic power, we
make sure there is enough flow and pressure at the boom head to operate a floor sweeper
for example.
For your total safety and improved comfort, the pump is fitted with a load-sensing flow
divider which gives priority to the steering and brakes.
�� You have "fingertip control" of proportional functions
such as extending/retracting the telescope via largeknurled rollers positioned for optimal control by thedriver's thumb.
�� You can change the direction of your Maniscopic
without taking your hands off the steering wheel.
�� Select the right Powershift gear ratio with a simple
click.
■ specially designed ergonomics with the "hand rest" (hand/forearm) concept which is much appreciated by farmers
using their Maniscopic for more than 1000 h/year and helps combat musculoskeletal problems ;
■ easy to use with the natural and intuitive position of its functions which is very useful for repetitive movements such as
loading manure ;
■ flexibility and precision in using the multifunctional lever (no mechanical links, all movements carefully calculated) for
less driver fatigue and stress (hand stiffness) when handling fodder ;
■ a system secured by neutralising boom functions (a switch on the instrument panel) and a secured neutral position. These
devices are essential when several farm employees, neighbours or trainees must use the MLT ;
■ a reliable system in its design (no wear parts) and tried and tested by all field tests and validations ;
■ even more productivity when JSM is combined with LSU technology to reduce cycle times on the manure handling site.

The JSM: controlling MLT power
A real extension of the driver's arm, the new JSM control lever (Manitou patent) groups boom and forward/reverse functions in
the Maniscopic.
The driver therefore has his left hand totally dedicated to steering while his right hand can control the boom and
select travelling mode. The JSM is a real multifunctional lever.

Versatility
Suitable hitch
You need to load a semi-trailer with fodder or a trailer with grain, and then you need to
tow it. Which is why we propose, in addition to a drawbar coupling with a pin, three other
types of hitch.
The single or double acting rear hydraulic service, the hydraulically assisted trailer
braking and the electric socket are of course available as optional extras.
You will also notice that we've left a space for your number plate and the option of
lighting it.
No worries when driving or towing on the road.
Various attachments
The MLT concept has always
provided a highly versatile machine
when equipped with a variety of
attachments ensuring maximum
utilisation on the farm.
This is why we offer you solutions
for straw handling, silage making,
cleaning out farm buildings,
handling palletised fertiliser, bulk
handling, trailer towing, manure
loading, etc...

Easier maintenance and controlled running costs
Very often, you will be doing much of the maintenance work yourself. However, your MLT
needs to be operational for as much of the time as possible.
This is why we have given you total access to the regular maintenance points – engine
oil, air and fuel oil filters, engine oil drain plug and filler caps, battery etc. – all these
items are immediately accessible when you open the engine cover with the help of the
gas assisted strut. Access to the various greasing points (the main ones are grouped
together) and to the hydraulic oil filter is also very easy.
Access to the hydraulic oil filter and lubrication points (the main ones being grouped) is
also very easy.
