unimog?

[billy]

i am seriously considering getting a unimog 404 as a 4x4 vehicle
for one thing i could use it as a tractor (it's primary reason for being invented)
for two it is a wonderful rig for getting in AND out of tough to get places
for three they are just so cotton-pickin cool!
any of you folks got one?

they come in so many configurations that that is a hard one to answer.
the smallest is 80hp Diesel.

I have a German friend who collects them. If you have any specific questions or concerns lmk and I can ask him for you.

now that is useful!
looking online i see there are all sorts of attachments available for them.
i have been thinking a Small snow plow?
might be just the ticket for a personal driveway.

I have a Pinzgauer.



It is smaller than a Unimog and was not designed to be a tractor. It still is the funnest vehicle I have ever owned.

I buy parts at the same place the unimog folks buy their parts.

Unimogs are badazz!

A friend of mine has a tree service business and use to have a Unimog as his co. truck. It was great until his business expanded, made it impractical to drive it long distances. He loved it, would go anywhere.

Back in the 70s, the Case tractor company marketed them under their own model and colors. They had all kinds of attachments, even a front end loader, pto and 3 point hitch IIRC.

I'd love a unimog ----- fitted up as a campervan

I used to have an RC one........ does that count? I had a lot of fun with it.

Man ! Those trucks must climb hills like a freaking goat !

I have went wheeling with a few unimogs before, they would go anywhere I went with my Jeep, but would look so much cooler doing it. Rocks, mud didnt matter they were unstoppable. If I had a slight need for one, and had the space I'd consider it in a heart beat. But they arent great highway vehicles to say the least.

And it takes at least 12 grand to buy a halfway decent used one. That would be a 30 year old one. 2-3 year old ones will rock 100 grand.

Anything different that is THAT functional and the emphasis on fun, is just plain sweet!
I think they are really cool looking as well!
