If it was a 100hp and could pull a batwing mower I’d be all over one of those. Would need a 3pt just pto. Look so dang handy and capable

They are very handy and capable! Im with you. I normally gravitate towards higher horsepower and capacity. I was back and forth between the V519 and V723. I decided on the V519 to avoid the DPF and DEF problems. A friend of mine bought a new CAT 420F and it has been in the shop numerous times for emissions related problems. Kinda got me spooked! I hear similar stories from the mechanics. I sacrificed, At least in my mind, less horsepower for less downtime. Also I liked how short the V519 is. It fits almost everywhere and with it in low gear, it holds its ground. I've been pleasantly surprised with its power.

Merlo makes one like that that I looked at, but at ~$115k it was out of my price range. They also have a 150hp monster for ~ $145k.

I bet it would work really well for snow with a 9' snow pusher or 10' angle plow.
I wonder how the boom would hold up to snow plowing antics like hitting a curb?. Best I think would be having anything attached with an angle setup and some very high flow reliefs.

Good question. I've wondered the same thing. The boom seems pretty stout but slamming into a curb can't be good. There would HAVE to be some sort of relief.

One complaint that I have is the boom speed. When I'm transporting materials with the forks, using it as a man lift, and listening to country music it is just fine. But when I want to kick it up a notch and move some dirt with some hard rock blasting, it is almost painfully slow. I need to look at the manual to see if there is a way to adjust this. I know using the Smart Handling System that you can adjust the speed of the boom. It would be awesome if I could adjust the normal operation of it.

Did the V519 replace the V417 or are they different level of machine?

 

[SSdoxie]

V519 replaces V518. The V518 was discontinued in the US when Tier IV requirements became mandatory because the Perkins engine could not meet the specifications. Now that European emissions are similar to Tier IV the V518 was redesigned into the V519 using a Doosan/Bobcat engine.

thanks for that clarification. It appears the 417 is a different animal and can take regular skid steer attachments without an adapter.

The V519 takes regular skid steer attachments without an adapter: V519 Compact Telehandler

The V417 is smaller than the V519, at 10.3 inches narrower, 12.5 inches shorter in length and 4.7 inches shorter in height. The wheelbase is 20.4 inches shorter.

It takes regular skid steer attachments without an adapter, but is now discontinued.

Do you now have the V519, I thought the V417 was areal sweet size.

No, still have the itty-bitty V417. .

Here it is on three wheels in the woods:

That is Awesome! Did you make that receiver hitch?

 

[McGraw99]

I just noticed the camera location. I need to do something like that too.

--------------------- Did you make that receiver hitch?

Yep, found a flat back one made for a RV. Moved the pin hitch up to the upper holes. Bought longer high strength metric bolts, drilled the holes, cut off the excess tubing and bolted it on:
