Jane's all the world's trees would be the best if they made it!

If I was going to fit a winch to whatever it would either be PTO or hydraulic, Experience tells me (regardless of vehicle/make/etc) that PTO have a faster line speed BUT hydraulic is more precise. For arb work hydraulic would be better due to them being more controllable & the pulls are generally not long &/or repetitive unlike forestry ware PTO is better. The other advantage of hydraulic is they are easy to set up with QR’s on the front & rear or are usable via a hydraulic power-pack in remote places or long pipes off the unimog spools.

its a fairlead that is driven by a scroll from side to side to lay the wire neatly on the drum which stops the bunching of the wire at the ends or centre of the drum as the scroll that drives it is driven off the drum so 1 drum revolution would be e.g. 18mm of lateral shift if the winch was designed for 18mm rope.

Just because you can take it at 16 doesn’t mean that you can work unsupervised until you are 18? As an employer there is a duty of care!

Hi, Its designed to be run direct of the Unimog PTO stub so yes just fits on, it has a set of UJ’s which can have a little air clutch # or overload device # built in to the UJ assembly that fits on the PTO stub, the little clutch it acts as the deadman device #. Its worth noting there are 2 flavours of this f64 winch, one with a level winder & one without. # There are then 3 sub types of this winch for each of the above, A: Basic winch with NO overload device. (self recovery) B: Basic winch with overload device (in UJ assembly/PTO assembly) C: Basic winch with overload device & with deadman device (multiplate clutch air cluch/deadman) The subtype A should only be used for self recovery (deboging) of the unimog. Subtype B & C are for self recovery & the pulling of other objects that may cause overload, I.e. pulling out tree stumps with the unimog fixed to something to stop it from being pulled or larger stuck vehicles with the unimog fixed to something to stop it from being pulled.

If you fitt a PTO winch you MUST use an overload device like a slip-clutch or spring ratchet clutch or load potentiometer to cut the engine, if you don’t do this it will rapidly overload. If I take my U1600 as an e.g. 4.08:1 PTO gear ratio, that makes 400lbf * 4.08 = 1632lbf @ the PTO shaft. If you useded an old FW525 PTO winch off a Land Rover, it has a 48:1 gear ratio, that would make the winch drum have a twisting force at 1ft from the drum centre of 1632lbf * 48 = 78336lbf (78336lb pull @ 1ft) If it has a 3inch diameter drum, the first layer will be at a radius of 1.5inch , so using leverage if it produces 78336lbf @ 12inch (1ft), it will be 156672lb @ 6inch, 313344lb @ 3inch & 626688lb @ 1.5inch Or 12inch / 1.5inch = 8 factor of multiplication of load, so 78336lb * 8 = 626688lb (284341.2kg or 284.34 tonnes) NOTE: power train losses have not been accounted for!! But would be ~90% of input power/force) You have been warned - the forces involved are horrendous.

As Mike says a frame would need to be made to carry the 3pt mounting of the chipper with that of the 4pt mount on the unimog. The digger mountings like that are far stronger than a 3pt hitch, as the tearout forces of the digger arms in both up and down as well as laterally planes are very high, the arms on the bigger diggers mounted on mogs are almost as powerful as e.g. a Jcb 3cx or Cat 428/438. The other option would be to modify a tractor front 3pt to fit on the rear of your mog

Schaeff make diggers (now part of Terex), they also make digger attachments for Unimogs, that is the one for a removable 180deg digger.

corect, like the Case one on the Case MB4/94 (406 / u900 unimog) though that one looks like a Schaeff one

an e.g. www.spaldings.co.uk/ - 4.5 TONNE HYDRAULIC TOP LINK - CAT. 2/2 Hydraulic top links are supplied c/w check valve and 800mm hoses with quick release connectors. Closed length: 570mm. Extended length: 850mm. Stroke length: 280mm. www.spaldings.co.uk/ - Top Links - Hydraulic

Lol I don’t drink (once or twice a year - sometime not at all) so I never go near pubs & I hear alcohol is prohibitly expensive in Scandinavia - perhaps that’s why! Mike, have you thought about getting a hydraulic top link if you are using a normal rear 3pt hitch, you can then shorten the top-link using a spool-valve which will lift the rear of the chipper higher so giving higher off-road mobility (which for spout hitting the mog)

the Benbow Bros one?

true it will be seized, but you will only forfeit any money you have paid for it IF you didn’t buy it from a dealer (who would have to refund you for selling a stolen vehicle as that’s something a dealer should check for) or someone who sold it in good faith with a receipt of sale who you can find i.e. the prior owner/seller who hasn’t done a runner as it was in good faith - i.e. they didn’t know it was stolen (it is there own responsibility to chase up the person who sold it them & seek there own refund from them as a completely separate mater to them refunding you) you will forfeit money if you have NO receipt of sale &/OR you cannot find i.e. the prior owner/seller who sold it you.

the area inspector can still be acting on advice given to him by someone who was wrong "dual-purpose vehicles" & "bi-purpose vehicles" are not the same though they sound the same - a 7.5t truck would fit the latter not the former

Arboriculture is technically Horticulture. Arboriculture can also be forestry, if you maintain your trees in your woodland estate using Arboriculture then it is forestry or if you are harvisting wood you have the NFU/NAAC (National Association of Agricultural Contractors) & a couple of forestry Association/regulators who all disowned Arboriculture as being part of there professions with respect to the HMRC and red diesel use.

err a 7.5t truck canot be a "dual purpose vehicle" it is to big to be one. it is over 3500kg GVW & has an unladen weight >2040kg & is not 4x4, 6x6, 8x8 wheel drive then is is NOT and never will be a "dual purpose vehicle" under the old system. under the new system it will still never be a "dual purpose vehicle"

You just need a tower wagon as would be used on catenaries

Yes, he was being a vandal & it was being videoed obviously to show how wonderful, clever & how he was such a “big” man - so its always good to see them come up short & if he spends >6 months on crutches or even lost his leg as a result of his OWN incompetence he may think twice about being a vandal agene & if not I hope he gets his other leg trapped & provides the spectacle on youtube for my & I suspect many others amusement of natural selection at work. I think comparing an unfortunate accident at “work” or on the “road” resulting e.g. from a simple mistake or misjudgement by a driver/s resulting in a similar comparative injury is totally different to the above even though the net result is the same (broken leg), there will always be accident in the home, at work & on the road yet the above was 100% avoidable and was caused by the injured person wile committing a crime along with his acompleses.

There is nothing wrong with a Dodge 50 for its time, but they are all getting near to the end of there useful life - you don’t see many about now. didn’t the MoD try the RB44 a few times for different jobs to try and replace the venerable LR101 gun tractor only to find the RB44 lacking agenced the LR101 so keped the 101 in service. if I recall you cannot get brake servo for RB44 any more as the last company that reconed them doesn’t any more so if the brake servo goes its as good as junk & the MoD ran out of brake servos years ago so units are hanging on to knackered RB44 to rob parts of to try and keep the ones that do have working.

i see this on another forum a mindless vandal gets his reward [ame] [/ame]

Hi, Just a word of warning with respect to the fitting of bodies to Unimog (excepting u100 to u140 & u300 to u500 & U####TG witch use strait/flat chassis rails/tops) don’t let anyone fit any body using a method that they would use with ANY other truck chassis, body’s MUST be mounted in accordance with the Unimog principal witch is 3 point or double 3 point mountings dependent on chassis length, the reasoning for this is because the chassis is designed to flex considerably & every other major component (cab, engine, gearbox, etc) is 3 point mounted so it offer NO resistance to the chassis twisting along its full length, the same is true of the X frames that body’s mount to on short/medium length chassis or the double 3 point on the longer chassis allow full chassis twisting without imparting ANY of the twisting forces into the body its self If a body is fitted in a “normal” manner as per a truck a few things can/will happen, the body will crack up/fatigue due to the large amount of twist imparted into it, the body to chassis mounts will be ripped off behind the cab, tipping rams can be bent, any lockers/cabinets built into the body will tear away & doors will jam shut etc & the same is true for drop sides etc, in other cases permanent twist can be introduced into body’s, finally if the body is very ridged so doesn’t twist the chassis can snap just forward of the front body mount! This video on youtube is in reference to the u3000, U4000 & u5000 UHN’s witch are basically the old MBU/SBU (u1000 to u2450l38 6x6) with newer engines & electronics/ESP/etc but are the same in respect to chassis & other fundamentals of operation. (from 1:22 onward shows this) [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gHhMzCtAx0M[/ame] As another e.g. to unimog chassis twisting the attached image is my u1600 from the rear, you will note the cab and the body are twisted in opposite directions moderately but by no means at there maximum extents.
