I don't have a lot to offer in the way of videos, but here are a couple that were taken during the off road charity day I attended a couple of years ago...

The little U900 (I'm the short bloke at the back)...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HG7c7bj8DP0...ture=plpp_video

The U1000 (I was passenger in this clip)...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3RhUGXe1DQ...ture=plpp_video

And the U1300L which I didn't get around to going in but it looked a bit big for me anyway!..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ntYp2ch2GF8...ture=plpp_video

Finding those brough back some memories. The best was of a little Suzuki 4x4 that tried to go through the same water hole that was in the last two videos. Yeah you guessed it, it didn't make it!

 Cool vids, the 900s a nice bright colour!
yeah, weve had that before where people have tried getting through places weve been and havent got anywhere near, but when people say you cant get them stuck we always say you can get anything stuck, including your own 2 feet, and thats the best form of traction control known to man!
we usually do recovery with the winches, its amazing how people who shun the mogs are willing to be pulled out by them when they get stuck  ;) ;D

I've only just spotted this one. It's the same Mog as the mud run U900 that I listed earlier.

Following on from the Facebook post, here's another minor mishap. Same chap as I went off roading with - if I'd have seen this before I went there's a chance I'd still not have ever been in a Unimog!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&list=FLwMkwXuG16vWH4RDlkACl9g&v=O46LFB-S7RM
Apparently it ran for a while because he couldn't stop it with the hand throttle so he had to stall it. Not easy when the wheels aren't on the ground!
Title: Re: Unimog vids (started 13/11/2012)
Post by: Villager on February 17, 2013, 06:17:33 pm
this is the unimogs Achilles heal, due to its high nose weight and low tail weight, the nose weight acts as a cater leaver, infact in truck trials and serious off road competitions, competitors often fill the rear tyres of unimogs with water.
in this situation the gears should have been used in a unimog, rather than the brakes. also, when going into a down hill position such as this, or going downhill at all, its usually best to either accelerate or get ready to accelerate, this is due to the unimogs heavy nose weight means it doesnt like going down steep hills, one of its main disadvantages off road actually. if ever you feel like a unimog is going to go over forwards or at an angle like this one, in most cases you should accelerate out of it.
having said that, the unimog does have a low center of gravity, and are incredibly stable on side slopes. :)

Post by: njc110381 on February 17, 2013, 06:18:28 pm
When I watched it I wondered if the winch line should have been in line with the track going down the hill? With it at that angle as soon as it started to slide it was pulling the truck over the way that it was already leaning, so it didn't take much to push it past the point of no return.

It's a live and learn thing. It was only a hobby truck for him and I don't think he'd had it long. He's sold it now and moved on to other toys. Shame really as he's a top bloke and helped me a fair bit talking about the mechanical side of things. I'd have liked to go off roading with him at some point when I get my own truck.

Post by: Villager on February 17, 2013, 06:19:59 pm
thats true, although i wonder if they had it straight behind so that it didnt pull the wire on with a bundle at one end, thats one of the advantages of the f56 werner (just an example, there are others), it often comes with auto feed so the wire or rope is put on evenly over the drum.

like you say, when moving from any vehicle to another you need to learn its limits, shame he sold it though  :-\ , looked like a tidy truck

Post by: njc110381 on February 17, 2013, 06:21:00 pm
Possible I suppose, but he was winding out. Once round the corner if for any reason he would have needed to come back he would have wanted it directly behind him to avoid that situation?

Can you get winches with a level wind system then? I've not seen them. The forestry winch I was using the other day was mounted on an A frame with a pulley on the top so no matter where the pull was directed and how much the winched item moved the spool was always at 90 degrees to the rope coming in. Clever I thought.

yep, heres a pic of the f56 werner. awesome winch, variable pull and everything. 7.5 tonne LIFT!
(http://i1282.photobucket.com/albums/a523/UnimogclubUK/f56autospool.jpg)

It drives of main drive for the winch, and slides from side to side to feed it on evenly. we have one, but its removed at the mo for repairs  :) ours has 300 foot of rope on it.

Can't really work out why this fella gets stuck... It doesn't look too muddy. Low tread on the tyres maybe? There are a few occasions on the video where it doesn't look like the lockers are engaged, or perhaps not working properly? What do you think?

Edit... He isn't scared to give it some right foot that's for sure!

Post by: njc110381 on April 18, 2013, 06:58:55 pm
It seemed he was missing the gears sometimes when trying to rock it, that probably didn't help. And then a few times he backed off of the throttle and went the other way before it had come to a forced stop, so not making the most of the movement he had? It sounded pretty sick at the end - any idea why that may be? It didn't look low enough to suck in water and diesels don't mind getting wet?
Title: Re: Unimog vids (started 13/11/2012)
Post by: Villager on April 18, 2013, 07:18:19 pm
yeah, not the best driver, he could have kept going at a lot of points. plus he was rushing the box, between forward and reverse it crunched a lot, something you should NEVER do on a mog gearbox, lots of money to repair  :-\

i dont know why it sounded rough, i wondered if it was running low on diesel.
Title: Re: Unimog vids (started 13/11/2012)
Post by: njc110381 on April 20, 2013, 09:35:41 pm
That was one thought that I've had since watching it too. Or overheating? No idea what effect that has on a diesel engine but a muddy radiator never goes down well with any vehicle. Again though, it didn't look deep enough for that.

It did not even seem to be in a hole or anything. If the BMP had used a shorter pull the hight of the tow attachment points would have provided much more lift and lower blood pressure for the Mog driver!

Post by: njc110381 on December 12, 2013, 09:47:14 pm
When I watched it and the truck pulled up I was thinking it could take some work to get it out with that. But then the tank arrived and I figured it would pull it straight out. Once it got to the stage of trying to snatch recover it with the tank... Well I was just waiting to hear a big crash and see part of the mog flying over the top!

I agree, a higher point on the tow truck would have both lifted the mog out of the mud a little, but also pulled down harder on the back of the tow vehicle giving it more traction. I also thought that a steady pull may have been better than tugging at it? Wet stuff is a pig to snatch things from but a constant pull can sometimes get things moving slowly.

Is that a genuine Merc or associated company part? There's a finger bar mower on the bay at the moment, but I think it's a Ferguson one.

its not a merc thing, but it was something specifically made for mercs, there were quite a few companies that made them.
