[Little Steven]

Hi all what's is the best unimog for a tree surgery?

 

Hi Ben,

Unimogs are much like other assets, you need to invest heavily, to a certain extent the more you can commit the better.

 

To which is the best, obviously its what suits and fits your business module.

What's the chipper like on the front?

[treedweller]

I was talking to a fitter that subbies for vos doing mobile servicing and if you have the brass the u300/400 are coming cheaper and upto yet no major headaches just service parts and the big engine spec is upwards of 250hp. South cave have 2 high spec u400's But it depends on budget I suppose.

With the chipper that two of these machines have on the front, how do you get on pulling out of side streets/gateways? There must be six feet of 'out'. Plus the extra sweep when turning too. Must make for some interesting forethought when driving in traffic.

Do u get many problems with ur Mog?

Best place to have it, makes a huge difference off rd, keeps it well balanced compared to hanging off the linkage on the rear.

Imagine driving up to a job and no manoeuvring or reversing, just point and go.

If you've never driven anything than a van or car they take a bit of getting used to, I took to them quickly, I think they are easy to drive, you sit really high so visibility is great.

Left hand drive has never bothered me, on some junctions you need to nudge out a little but but once to get the hang of it which most folk do, they are easy!
