Never been bothered about mogs, but i saw this little cutie yesterday and fell in love with it. I dont know what model it is or anything. The guy using it was using it to carry his 5 ton mini digger around. It was a nice little set up.

 

its a u406 or u 900 similar to this one i found earlier

I like that plant trailer!! I'm finding it hard work finding something to put behind my u900. I put about 4tonne of timber in a single axle tipper and it was horrible!! I'm currently getting a spare pump fitted with 9mm plungers and setup by the pump engineers that do vos and prices. Hoping for about 130hp but will put it on a pto dyno and show the results on here.

I'm liking the pictures of all the Unimogs.

My Dad had a pair of 404's in the late 1960's, both with canvas cabs. One had a little hydraulic crane behind the cab like the Hiab's in the pictures but probably quite small by todays standards. There was a Taskers trailer built specially for the mog to take the timber to Latimer Sawmill. It ended up being a diesel tank stand as it was fitted with air brakes because none of the tractors could tow it without brakes.

One mog burnt to death and the other was sold. The reason was that they were very expensive to maintain against the 'new' Ford 5000 based County tractor that had just arrived on the market. The only thing that remained from the burnt machine was the rear body with those, peculiar only to Unimog, side catches. Instantly recognisable to anyone 'in the know'! This became a trailer body for the next forty years.
