Unimog Club UK

Hi Steve,

Welcome to Unimog Cub UK

Very tidy looking Unimog you had there, I would imagine the mileage was very low as well being a snow blower?
I have to say, this cab variant has a reputation on here for not being the pritiest but they do the job and are very roomy, so who's to complain!
Just a quick question, are you sure it's not a 421? I've never heard of a U600.412 before, and it looks like a 421 cab.

What mog are you looking to buy next? the 600 is a nice hobby mog, but they're a bit gutless sometimes, maybe a 406 or 416?

Cheers, Brian 

memory playing tricks.. yes of course it was a 421 

I'm thinking a round cab U900 would suit my needs/wants best .. My wife and I have a small holding on the Black Isle where we keep horses, I'd been considering buying a 65hp tractor for topping the paddocks and muck shifting but a Mog  with a 3 way tipper, 3 point linkage for a bale spike and PTO would be handy for lots of other jobs ... I can easily talk myself into it 

Welcome to the site I must be the only 1 but I like the cab on your old mog lol

There was a 411 hidden up a Glen near here that i nearly bought a few years back.. Might go see if its still there

When I started looking for a mog I had a similar thing in my mind. The trouble is although the 404 is a lot cheaper, I decided in the end that it would cost a fair bit to get it doing what I wanted and I'd be better off starting out with a 406. What you hope to do with yours is very similar, so I'd suggest you consider carefully before buying.

The 404 is quite a lightly built mog. I'm not sure how it would appreciate having much weight hanging off of the back of it if you even did manage to get a linkage on there at all. It's a good little off roader to carry light stuff but that's very much restricting your uses for it, and as such it's value to you will be much lower.

How much of a project are you willing to take on? There have been some really cheap 406/416 mogs selling on ebay but they will need work, and lots of it! Or save for a bit longer. The mog market is at a point where you're not really going to lose money on an older machine, so if it doesn't work out for you getting your money back isn't going to be an issue as long as you spend it right in the first place.

Thanks for the welcome i went out on a bit of a Moghunt yesterday, took a run up to the head of Strathconon to see if the old 411 was still parked up there but it had gone
Found this u90 in a yard at Muir of Ord on the way home.. It might be for sale, i got the owners number but i think itll be a bit rich for me!!

Im not so sure i want a modern Mog for myself, i can see me getting one for my workplace to replace our worn out 4wd kubota tractor.. That leaves me the option of getting a classic Mog to modify and enjoy for use on and around the farm. Im going to see a U900 during the week with front PTO and hydraulics . The £5k +vat is a bit beyond my budget, i might have to sell one of my motorbikes ( i build/collect Indian mcs ) to fund buying and sorting it out!
