Has anyone on here ever used a mog classed as HGV and if so what weight can you legally go to?

 

Will depend on design weight of the mog.

I know the uge mogs a u500 can be up rated from a 15t to 16t but only if its ag reg ups the front axle for implements. Can only be done buy mercedes them selfs

Apologies, I may not have made myself clear.

What I meant was if I wanted to stick a huge bulk trailer on the back to haul corn from farm to flour mill, whats the max I can go all up if taxed correctly. I didn't mean just the mog itself.

Thanks to all

Again, up to the design "train weight" of the mog, but not more than 44t I would imagine.

I didn't realise that it can be classed as a full hgv, although I suppose it wont go to 44 tonnes as it would only have 5 axles not 6.

I have heard a rumour that ag might be changed up to about 31 tonne from 24390kg. Is that right?

ah what day was you there i was on the stand quite a bit

 

I went on the Saturday. Should have arranged to see you there really - it would have been nice to meet you and get a more detailed run down on what's been done to your mog.

 

Mine's down to one wheel now - I've had the local mog fixy man round for a look and he's started taking it apart!

Nice little mogy on discs as well you pads and discs or you had problems

[njc110381]

Had some minor issues. One of the flexible brake lines had perished and wasn't allowing the fluid to return. Brakes locked on and being a mog newbie I just thought it was being slow! So it got very hot and cooked all the seals in the calipers on one wheel.

 

Instead of just replacing the offending pipe I'm having the lot done. If it's flexible or perishable it's being renewed. That way it won't do it again any time soon. The parts aren't expensive and it's one less thing to worry about.

 

Edit... When it's moving again it's going to a friend to have new wings welded in, then hopefully shotblasting to find any more nasties and a respray

No problem timon i took that pic as i red on another thred you where thinking of another box. That and i know alex needs the space. I should be there thurs, fri and sat work dependent .

 

 

Sorry I didn't get to see you (and your mog) at APF... Got there late on the Friday and didn't get to see everything. If your ever in Brum or Cov you're welcome to pop in. Bet your mog is almost finished now. Apart from a front calliper ours is going great. As I mentioned before we've got loads of things planned for it. We've just employed a full time mechanic / engineer. Same guy that did all the work on the cab. we'll look to start working on it in the new year.

Front mounted chipper, new bigger box and a homemade hiab trailer all in the pipeline.... Watch this space
