Neighbor bought this a couple months ago. First job with it was to replace the flagpole at our cemetery and it worked great. The long reach held the pole up so we could screw in the pipe coupling holding pole to base----wind snapped old coupling off. interesting machine to run, and like all heavy stuff gets my attention!lol! This machine is a 1990 M-10-K Military Lull telehandler , has around 500 hours on it. We did some research on it and found a guy in Chicago that has the military blueprints for a 4 yard bucket for it so neighbor ordered one---be done in July. He could have had a 2 yard bucket but was thinking for snow the bigger one would be better. Anyway I had it over her a while back playing with it, moving some stuff. It lifts 10,000 pounds according to the specs and I think its a 42' reach. This model had a John Deere 6 cylinder diesel engine in it and runs 30 mph in 4'th gear on level ground, slower uphill, faster downhill!
