We used to run three of them but could not keep up with the mayhem/damage the lads caused on the roads and the constant costly mechanical repairs, they are very much an owner driver vehicle . I have kept one back for the odd occasion we need a mog with a chipper over the common or if the grinder is needed within a few miles of base I just hook it up on the mog otherwise it goes behind the telehandler and is dropped off with the low loader. . The new laws on fast tractors only apply to non ag/forestry use so wont affect many that run mogs in this game.

That is a beast of a grinder Bob! I've got an old trailed rg1635 but that thing looks much bigger!

Seems to be loads of unimogs for sale at the moment. Are people getting rid before the new rules on fast tractors come in? 

What are the new rules on fast tractors and how will they affect Mog owners?

There’s not anymore mogs for sale then there usually is if you are looking at Ebay, Vos and Ac Price.
If there is somewhere all these other mogs are for sale then share away.

Might just be a coincidence Stephen but Im always checking eBay for unimogs and IMO there are way more than usual.

Could it just be that merc are putting more effort into promoting the unimog in the UK and lads are upgrading? I’ve sent some of the deals Farols are pushing on finance for example, the figures make sense to buy new...
