That picture of the unimog wading through that water is just awesome. What a machine.

A live pto means you can change gear and the pto stays engaged. 406's have a double clutch for this :)

Oh right. I knew the double clutch existed - just didn't know it was called a live PTO. I'm not sure that would be a vital addition for me. Are they expensive?

tis expensive and difficult to fit, need a special tool for plate alignment. you might not think you need one, but its amazing how handy they are when you have one :)

I can see how it could be useful. I think a tipper, linkage and PTO are all that I really need though. Anything else is a bonus

Even with the tyres up and a driver which im not entirely sure what hes doing this is fairly impressive. especial with a doka cab, which is less flexible :)
