Description
Designed for agriculture,
the MLT 1040 excels in livestock feeding, manure scraping, harvesting and
loading/unloading applications. Powered by a 137 horsepower John Deere diesel
engine, the MLT 1040 is fully-loaded with the right power and torque to
complete large jobs. It has a maximum
capacity of 8,800 lbs. and a maximum lift height of 31’6”. To minimize the loss
of material during travel it is equipped with Comfort Ride Control boom
suspension system. Furthermore, cushioned stops in the lift cylinders and the
M-Shift® Gearbox (Powershift) provide smooth operation and gear changes in all
situations. Built for comfort, the MLT 1040 features a fully enclosed cab with
heat, defrost and air conditioning, and a deluxe, adjustable suspension seat.
For greater operator efficiency, switches and controls are grouped according to
function. Drive, boom and hydraulic functions are all controlled by the Joystick
Switch and Move (JSM) control, leaving the other hand free to operate the steering.
