Compact telehandler

[Xfaxman]

I finally got a roundtuit and took pictures to show how small it is.

Lined up the front with my wife's 2016 Ram 2500:

This shot shows how much shorter the V417 is:

And this shows that the V417 is not as tall as the Ram:

Ive put about 40 hours on her so far. Dont see me going back to tractor
She’s developed a problem...
When i let off brake, she goes like she”s pointed toward the barn. Usu, when i let off the brake, the parking break kicks in to stop her. All fluids are adequate...any ideas?

Does it move normally when operating it?

Is it completely stopped and idling before you let off the brake?

Shift to neutral, let off the brake pedal, do the RPMs increase??

I rarely step on the brake pedal when driving, because letting off the accelerator applies the brakes at idle.

There is only one set of brakes even though there is a switch and a light on the dash labeled Park.

First, thank you for the timely response!!!
Ok, we are all friends here, right? I hesitate to reveal my mistake, but goes to show me how, when in a hurry, the obvious gets overlooked
I had found these posts in a field and put them in the cab, and as you can see, one was jammed at the accelerator pedal...eye roll please...i deserve it
Did i say how much fun this machine is?
next project is getting getting front/rear cameras

Well - those are the kind of fixes we all want to find! Easy.

Those are great machines.

Yep, the post about the post makes me feel better about the machine.

That may be the easiest fix that you will ever do!

I'll tell ya, these tele handlers beat a tractors versatility hands down. Now if you could only take them in dense woods and use them to skid logs, it'll be a life long crush for me.

Since the compact telehandlers are smaller and have four wheel steering, they will go in the dense woods where a tractor can't go.

And put this on the front: skid steer forestry winch - Image Search

And this on the rear:

Yep, with 4 wheel steering, even my big Lull can maneuver lots more readily than my Mahindra.

It's shorter too.

I guess my first concern was ground clearance.
How would one go about lifting and walking a hitch of stems out of the woods with such a conveyance?

Or I'm I asking too much of this magical machine?
