Freightliner Unimog w/Case bucket and backhoe 4x4 diesel


Not a bad price, could do a lot of work with that.

I've heard that can be a bear to maintain

I do not see that being very handy at all ! Give me a regular 4x4 backhoe anytime .

I want it...

Mogs are great off-road vehicles. I've never seen one tricked out like this. My guess is it'll sell for $15K or so.

We used them in Iraq. What they provided over a tractor type was their ability to transport themselves. In an area where the lines are moving great distance and frequently they are very handy!!!!

Reading the ad, 1300 miles and 20 hours, this one obviously never Deployed. It's brand new!!!! Parts might not be that hard to find since all components are from major companies.

Do you have any idea of the weight?
Only thing better would be if it was the 6 wheel unimog.

 

[ovrszd]

I sure don't know the weight. Maybe a Google search for military vehicles might get some good info??? I don't even know the nomenclature for this vehicle.

First time I saw one was Desert Storm. Navy Engineer unit had one. They dug a latrine pit and a drainage ditch for a shower unit for us. I could have kissed them. What a labor saver. We were digging by hand.

That old song with the lyrics "Give me forty acres and I'll turn this rig around" comes to mind.
