Ever wonder what happened to MB tracs?

[Mr Ed]

Mercedes sold them off to Werner Forst- und Industrietechnik in 1991, who mainly build them as forestry machines.

Found this video of one - cool as ****

Articulated and fourwheel steer...

I used to drive one with a sprayer fitted to the back. That was my money making days in school holidays. Real good vehicles but the tyre changes from fat to thin or vice versa were always a bugger lol

mmm I sooo would like to add one of those to our collection, new to me although have seen mb trac, mog and werner equipment before , in fact got some to, if you see one for sale give us a shout , cheers

i'm not sure it is articulated Ed, it has a rotating cab i think.

Front steering but central oscillation joint I think.

 

Werner built the 'Uniknick' artic Mogs back in the day:

Yeah, Mea culpa. I think it just steers on the fronts.
