V519 / TL519 Compact Telehandler

Great pictures. And FYI, it seems most people much prefer the way you posted pictures (as thumbnails) as opposed to putting the entire giant photo in the thread.

That is just opposite of my experience on TBN. Most people say they like the big pictures and ask how to do it.

It doesn't become a "giant photo" until the thumnail is clicked to be able to see it. When posted "Full Size" it is displayed much smaller.

His thumnail is 120 x 90 pixels, the picture is 4032 x 3024.

When posted "Full Size" it is displayed (on my screen) at 539 x 404, and you can see it. :thumbsup:

You can still right click the picture above and open in a new tab if you want to expand it more to see small details.

Enough room for my friends SVL 75 2

Hmmm, About 12k for the V519, 9K for the SV75 2, plus not so light of a trailer. Does Ford & Dodge know you can do that with a little old Chevy?

:laughing: Shhhh don't tell them, they have to feel like they are winning or they get out of control! Lol

Yeah its a little over 28,000lbs with the 7500lb trailer. The poor little insignificant GMC does just fine grossing nearly 36k! I use the manual thumbed gear selector to keep it over 2k rpms and to prevent downshifting for the uphill climbs. It accelerates uphill just fine.

It saved us a hundred trips up and down a ladder while prepping this barn for board and batt siding.

I'll get some pics of it doing some real work soon. Will be doing some backfill next week and some lot clearing after the 1st of the year.

Snapped some more pictures today. I still don't see a counter weight. Looking in that oval hole above the trailer hitch, it is all the fuel tank. You will also notice the square blocks of steel with a threaded hole that I assume is to hang additional weights. Someone at bobcat must of been king nerd in physics class. :laughing:

Yep, those threaded square steel blocks look they line up with the bolts in the extra orange counter weight, in the picture provided by KenAdams:
