That's pretty wild.

That is neat...
Both Mercedes Benz (with the Uni-Mog) and the older Land Rovers (long before Land Rover became "chic") had similar machines.

Pretty cool. I knew that jeeps used to come with a PTO, but never thought I'd see a loader or BH on one.

Interesting! Them marketing folks will do anything to sell something. I bet that jeep weighs over 5k lbs, and probably rides like a..... well.... a jeep. A danged heavy one at that.

Looks like it has 8 bolt wheels. Not your ordinary CJ. I have a friend with one with a 3pt & pto, and have seen them with a chain type ditch witch also. As a kid I remember seeing them towing a mower on the interstate median, and of course tons of them rigged up to pick up golf balls at a driving range.

I like that. Thanks for sharing.

Possibly quite a bit more. I owned an '01 Wrangler, 4.0L 6cyl that weighed almost 4K, and that was just with 31" tires.
