The snow would be cooler...

...If i had a unimog to drive around in.


Anyone here have any unimog in snow pictures?

[AndehW]

Do I ever! I'm afraid they're mostly old family scans, so the quality is pretty poor for some. I'll get into the loft, get them out, and redo them some time.

U1600, 411s, all sorts. All snow blowers of course.











And yes, these were all taken in England. I have plenty of other winter vehicles to show as well, but I'll keep this Mog based.

Great pictures

Nice, how deep can they go whilst still clearing snow?

[AndehW]

In a single cut, the height of the blade, so about 4 feet or so, you vary the blade height to where you need it to be, so if the snow is very deep, you layer the cuts, gradually going down. This is assuming the snow is suitable for tall cuts though, as it can always collapse back in on itself. Although, if you're in a snow blower, you just cut yourself back down again...

Nice, they look like proper beasts.

Have some more...

ANDY - Were you on Winter Road Ice Rescue on channel 5 ?

[forzaminardi]

Farkinell! Amazing pics of amazing machines.

I think I would struggle to find some where to put it, but I would love one of these awesome machines!

I think a lego/technic model is probably more of an idea lol!

[AndehW]

Haha, no, much more efficient than those fools on 'Winter Road Rescue'

Edit: Yes, that is an Aktiv Snow Trac, there was one in the Shining. Beetle engined. Loads of pictures of numerous Snow Tracs knocking about as well, more in the loft, as usual.

Already got one of those, only makes a plough though, not a blower.
