One of the reasons why I wasn't busy posting up fresh meat on Biglorryblog was because I was up at Mercedes in Milton keynes doing a 'Truckers' test' for Truck & Driver on a Mercedes Actros with Simon 'Wee Georgie' Wood. As the conversation turned to search esoteric matters as catwalks he was pointing out something in the truck pound when my eyes were naturally drawn to BLB's favourite off-road warrior...yes a brace of Unimogs! But can you tell me the model? And click through here for oen more tucked away in the corner...
Now what's that on the front eh?
Hi,
Now I am no where near sure but I am wondering if it is part of the instrument for testing the slickness of a road surface. They used to have a Mercedes truck around the Glos,Bristol,Somerset area's doing this.
Love the Unimogs, definatly my favourite vehicle.
Trevor.
The front mounting is a hydraulicaaly folding grass cutter which can be deployed to the left or right side on a sliding bar. It looks as if it has another one mounted behind the cab too - I have pics of them with up to three different ones fitted.
