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

Double cab tranny and timber puppy.

Depends on your budget.

 

£30k would get you this.

[ben blackman]

What about lwb

[Stephen Blair]

Lwb is ok, it's just longer by 1m.

On 1 side you get more stuff in on the other it's not as manoeuvrable !

 

The u1600 is the most sought after and holds the best money.

 

If the model ends in 50 it's 50cm longer.

[ben blackman]

Where do you start looking and what do u look for coz we are thinking bout getting 1

[Stephen Blair]

First things budget, no point going looking if you dont have enough money.

My unit has cost me £30k, this includes the chipper, the chip body, Hiab and a recent big bill where I spent nearly £6k on it.

This is my 4th Mog and by far the most versatile.

I budget to spend a few hundred £ a month on maintence.

On some jobs it's overkill, on others there's nothing that will touch it for size and capabilities all in the 1 unit.

Ok thanks we would like near enuff ur set up now

[Stephen Blair]

They take a bit of getting used to, if you have a back ground with tractors it's much easier.

Ok thanks what was the best Mog u had
