Unimog towing abillity

[treedweller]

I'm interested to see how the smaller mogs tow such as a u900 or u1000 ie tonnage on the road. Do they have to tow balanced trailers where the wheels are mounted in the middle of the chassis or will they cope with a normal grain trailer? When i look on the web most u900's seem to tow dolly style trailers with a wheel at each corner but also seem to be abroad mostly.

I know there are few u900 owners on here and i welcome your opinions:001_smile:

i have a muller mittertel trailer i tow with my 900 the most i have had in it is 8ton giving a train weight of around 15 ton tow great on the flat but your soon down the gears when theres a bit of an incline

The muller trailers are ballanced too arnt they Steve. You'd be looking at a 6 ton grain trailer max really then. I really want a small mog for versatillity and road speed. Mainly for towing chip or timber off site jobs and still have the chipper or winch mounted on the front.
