Interesting Unimog

It looks like it's been spewing out hyd oil? Maybe not a huge prob if the backhoe is taken off anyway? Price appears to be very slowly creeping up... Pity it's so far away, it'd be worth a look otherwise.

its called SEE, they were built for the US military, but marketed under the freightliner brand, there are more specialist parts on them than any other mog, very few std 406 bits are interchangable. they are very low geared, pitch and roll when driven at any speed at all. and have crap brakes for there weight. for what it would cost to make it usable, save your money and buy a more conventional mog.........these are musuem pieces, or miltary vehicle collectors...........built for a specific purpose for a "company" with bottomless pockets

That all makes good sense! Just spent 10 minutes looking through the AV stock list online....

Indeed, cannot see the point what advantages over a JCB 3CX that will be far better machine on site with readily available parts.

 

It is cool though...

It's 9.6k (plus fees) and fighting with 10 mins to run...

I reckon it's water, the bucket filled with water when they washed it or rain water then when they stopped it all splashed out the bucket, or they lifted the backhoe to transport position and water splashed out

I wouldn't mind the ROPS off of it. Looks like a solid setup. That's the one thing that scares me with mine - there's very little structure between me and the chassis if it was to go over
