Okay. Multifarmer. It has the um all the functionalities of a telehandler in the front with the capability of a tractor in the back. Let's go. >> With the three-point hitch. Let's go check it out. Okay, so as we look, these are kind of like your bread and butter sweet spot machines right here, right? >> Yes, we have all different types of ranges, different types of weight capacities, and reach for the But now, this is the one that's unique that you guys have created. It is. So, this machine gives you a lot of flexibility because like I mentioned, not only do you have the telehandler functionality in the front, but you also have the capabilities of a tractor in the back with the three-point hitch. And what that does it is it it allows our customer to get rid of a lot of machines that they don't need. They can do all the jobs on the on the site with one machine. I I mean, I look at this thing and my mouth drools a little bit. I mean, as a on a from a a basis of you know, running a farm, I could see where this would be phenomenal. But as a snow plow operator as well, I'm looking at this going, "How do I How do I justify buying myself a brand new toy, right?" >> Yeah, absolutely. It's It all comes down to like I said, the flexibility, the amount of attachments that we have. Um these things are uh you know, we we tout one machine, many jobs, and this a bit of my experience. But now, something that's unique about the Merlo is the cabs. Yes. So, the cab is interesting because the cab is exact same layout on every machine that we have. So, if an operator knows how to operate one machine, he can also operate all the other machines that we have. And this is it right here. This is it right here. You have a lot of room in there. All the the controls are ergonomically strategically located. Um you got all your controls. You have the the screen over here that communicates the status of the machine and the loads to the operator. And you have your joystick on the right, which has a capacitive um feel to it, which just basically means that the hydraulic functionalities will not engage unless the joystick senses the operator's hand on it. >> But now, as we look at this one, this is a tool carrier. This machine right here is a tool carrier. So, >> machine It's not necessarily officially the tool carrier is more of what we refer to as our forestry machine. Okay. So, this machine is more of a a multiple machine. That's why we call it a…
