I don't need tractor tread tyres, but they were fitted when I bought it. I've been investigating options which are many. I quite like the Michelin XL or the Continental MPT 80. Does anyone have tales of a brush with the law about tyre speed ratings? What would my insurance company have to say?

Yes, I am now well aware of the situation, and see that there is a fine of up to £2500 & 3 points for EACH tyre, and that's before any complications which could arise following an accident for example. Luckily I don't have to drive it on the road, and won't until the tyre issue is corrected. I guess that since my Mitas tyres are very little worn, they will be worth a few quid which will offset the cost of replacements. Any offers? Size 405/70 x 20.

Unimog build threads / Werner hydraulic winch
« on: May 20, 2014, 09:51:13 am »
I was lucky enough to find a Werner hydraulic winch mounted on a very heavy anchor (3 ton excavator dozer blade). It was set up to fit with the 3 pt linkage of a U1000. I have found that my U419/900 axle mountings are a different width and so alteration are needed if I want to use the anchor. Anyone know more about Werner winches? (I only have the one pic at present as the winch is tucked away awaiting fitting, and my camera has thrown in the towel). Will post more photos when I can.

It does rev higher than 2400 rpm, but I think 50 mph is fine. The tyres say maximum speed 50 kph.  I can't see a load rating mark.

The Unimog has 'A C PRICE engineering' on the front number plate, so it may have been through their hands in the past. It does 50mph at 2400 rpm, and yes they are MITAS tyres which seen good, not too noisy on the road. A photo of the front rail gear I removed and still have.

Unimog Pictures, Vids and Brochures! / How big is your winch?

A couple of interesting pictures of the biggest vehicle winch I've ever seen! 40 ton line pull. Anyone know of anything bigger??

Yes it still had some rail gear, two substantial brackets one front & rear with hydraulics to raise and lower the machine, I removed these but still have them. Don't know if they are of any use, or interest to anyone?

Bought this one a few years ago which started its life as a German railway machine. In good useable condition. A disc brake model with hydraulics & PTO.

PS Have attached a 2nd picture showing the DIN plate and front railway gear which is very substantial. I didn't have any rail wheels.

Unimog Pictures, Vids and Brochures! / My 411
« on: May 19, 2014, 03:35:02 pm »
I bought it a few years ago in a very rusty condition, but it ran well after being left out to rot for years. Started life as a Rolba snow blower. Restoration underway but is taking a while!

Three pics of my 411 as it would have been. Believed a large Deutz air cooled diesel carried on the rear to power the blower.
