First outing with my 411 this year
« on: April 08, 2013, 08:23:54 pm »
I took my 411 to a local classic car event, a short half day affair about 20 miles from my place. Spotted another unimog there which is unheard of in all my days at this event. so I had to do the photo thing.

Picture time.

Looking at that picture the first thing that comes to mind is that a 411 isn't as small as I thought they were!

this picture doesnt do justice, when you think that its actually smaller than an 80 inch series landrover, that when you realize how small they are.

I guess it is closer than the square cab which makes it look bigger. I did think about a 411 briefly but was advised that they wouldn't have the power for my needs. I don't think you said it, but I may be wrong?

i certainly did say it  ;) waste of time if your looking for power, great for yard trucks and hobby mogs though, unbelievably maneuverable, for offroad though your better of going long wheel base, a 66" chassis isnt very keen on going down hill when it has a great big cast engine right at the front!.

This mog was fully loaded with all of the toys. Even had hydraulic motor to power the super slow driving speeds via a small lever on the dash.

Oooh do you mean hydrostatic drive? like a red and black lever? (i think some were black and white) and did it have terramatic linkage, so you can control the linkage from the 4 corners of the mog with 2 buttons, that is posh, although its a right pain for the dealers when it goes wrong.  :D
