Unimog?Worth the dosh?

[Buzz]

I should also point out that nothing else short of a tractor can get in our yard after rain lol !

[Mr Ed]

I'm not averse to unimogs in there place...

But my experience is that you have to splash out some SERIOUS dosh to get a decent one. Whereas its easy to buy a very good truck with little dosh.

And I would never run a chip bin on one again. If I had to choose, I'd take a U1600, with a torque converter box, chipped up 300hp+ engine, and fifth wheel hitch - And a 24 foot triaxle timber trailer + chip bin....

Thats what I'd want, because thats what I'd need to be as good as my timber truck. I wonder what the cost difference is?

 

Oh and Matt? my 6x4 truck would easily get in and out your yard

I love my mog she cost a fortune to buy and maintain but makes me a mint so well worth the investment IMO

[Lee Winger]

can't see the point of a big chipper on a mog the chip boxes are totally inadequate, be alright if you had a decent chip trailer though

Nice Mog, I would never have a chipper on the front though it's hard enough turning left on a sharp bend with no passengers lol
