Unimog front mount type.

J The Tree, thanks for that.

What about this reverse gearbox? Is that the one sold by Atkinson Vos? What were the problems as this is the thing that worries me most.

Cheers.

 

Ps: I just noticed your avatar. Are you running a tow along due to the PTO chipper hassles and restrictions, or some other reason?

The issues with the reverse drive gearbox is by the time you have added the gearbox, pto shaft and taken into account the need to be able to connect/disconnect the pto shaft when you remove the chipper it tends to push the chipper too far out infront of the Unimog. Far better cashing in your chipper and buying a factory made front mounted one.

When you get your new Unimog make sure it is set up suspension wise for carrying implements on the front-many are not.

We dont run unimogs any more, after nearly 25 years of the damn things it dawned on me that there are more profitable ways of running my business.
