Unimog three point linkage.

[agrimog]

your going to have a few problems with a linkage on the back of that, theres a ringfeder towing eye fitted, this will interfere with your top link mounting, and the pto shaft has been offset to fit in with the tow mount, this will cause problems when mounting equipment that needs the pto. the actuall arms arent that complicated, and have a ball at each end, the inboard mounts are already on your truck, and the link rods between top arms and bottom arms are the same as fitted on all cat2 setups on mogs, atkinson vos is probably your best bet for parts, but be prepared for re-newing balls and pins as these are likley to be worn

would it be any easier to just put a front linkage or din plate and reverse box on the front as i am only looking at running a flail and hedgecutter on it.

[agrimog]

front linkage is going to cost around a grand second hand, reverser boxes 750ish, and din plates, getting hard to find, Itll take a bit of rejigging on the back, but it would be your cheapest option

Thanks

Have you got the implements already?

 

You could run a big pump straight off the PTO and get a hydraulic powered implement

 

Just a thought........

[stabjw]

I haven't got the implements yet but that is an idea. Any idea of cost in doing that?

[agrimog]

have a good shop around on ebay, there are german hydraulic companies offering deals for type 2 and type 3 pumps fitted to pto adapters for less than some of the rip off brits are wanting for the adapters alone

If you want to use it for hedge cutting then you will have a much better view if front mounted - on the back of a mog you won't be able to see anything.

The rear mounted pump off the existing pto is a great idea, but allow a lot of money on hoses and fittings if you have to plumb it upto the front. If the mog is just for hedge work then why not look at direct mounting the machine - don't get too worked up over 3pl and DIN mounts. For less money you can most likely get something fabricated that will mount whatever you end up sourcing much closer to the front (or back if you do choose) of your new toy and will subsequently not stress the overall machine as much.

Am I right in thinking if I found a front mount hedge cutter I wouldnt need a reverse box on the front.
