Unimogs

This thread is coz i havent got one! And wa prompted by mention of skyhucks and swbs mogs. I have always wanted a mog, until i worked with a mate and his U900. It had a crane which couldnt lift much, a winch which wa really slow, and no load bed to speak of. I started thinking that they were just expensive toys which wealthy tree surgeons/foresters had.....then i joined arbtalk and saw the mogs on here....

 

so, with these bigger machines, is there little they cant do? Elighten the now (re-)converted.

 

 

 

 

Obviously feel free to post as many pics as you like......

Yeah, they're a bit more like it. They are actually pretty useful looking, rather than just looking pretty:001_tongue: Do you have the chippers mounted all the time?

I dont think gear like that would earn its keep in cornwall!!:sad:Not many big trees down here! Do you ever play in them or are they just for work?

Do you have the chippers mounted all the time?

 

Yes.

you dont have to do big trees all the time, i love the fact i can have a 10inch chipper,chip box,3 seats and a winch on one vehicle. i dont need to muck about every morning and night taking on and off a chipper. no rd tax,no mot and red diesel. if i want i can stick a big ag trailer on it, and take on pretty much anything that this job throws at me. it is far easier to manouvre than a vehicle with toe behind and i dont have to screw the guts out it with a load on. we have loads of hills up here, and i got stuck on a grass verge before with the transit:scared1:they hardly depreciate. they do break down, but what doesnt. my mog is a no spill unit, the spout fits inside the box, no sweeping up of scattered chips. this job took me 50 mins from start to finish yesterday.

50 mins! Paople tell me i have a pretty handy defender/ 6"chipper outfit, but to take them down and clean up like that in 50 mins! I see your point! Do you have smaller trucks also or not bother at all now you have the mog?

Don't forget, he took 15 minutes out of those 50 sticking plasters on his silky cuts
