Old Unimog Hauling Logs Like A Boss

submitted by newtboy

8 years 12 months ago

YT-An elderly Unimog is doing what it was built for: working hard without complaining. Don´t try that with a modern SUV.
Flexible chassis German steel, 3 point mounted cab and load platform, portal axles with reduction hubs & cross axle diff locks, same track front and rear with no 'lead' in the front axle gearing, compressed air system built in, so it's easy to adjust tyre pressures absolutely critical on the 'Mog. Best workhorse ever! I have had mine since 1980 and will keep it until I die.

Most vehicles would get stuck in a river of mud. This river of mud gets stuck under the vehicle.

Remember the good old times when stuff was engineered to do its job instead of making money?

SUVs are not designed to be used as a tool like an Unimog. SUVs are designed to be an attractive luxury mobile for urban consumers, not forest workers.

Makes me want to load up Spin Tires.

Forget the truck, I want to know what tyres he's using !
How the hell is he getting any traction in that muck ???

Fun fact: Unimog is German for "like a boss".

True story. Don't bother looking it up.

I can confirm that or as we like to say here: "Er haben die Scheisse verstanden Unimog!" which means translated 'He got that exactly right, like a boss!"

Fun fact: Unimog is German for "like a boss".
