Tug? I have an 8N that I use for that.

No immediate plans, per se for the 'mog. Just thought I would use it for riding the fire breaks in the mountains, and doing some camping.

Keep it for a year, then start looking for a Ducati.

40mph?? Is that the top speed for those Unimogs?
Can they be used to tow a travel trailer at 65mph? (Towing rating absolutely capable, but speed?

Some of the later unimogs have "fast axles" but I don't know what their top speed is.

The one I am restoring now for myself will top out at 80mph and tow 22 tons. The yellow one in the back ground will do 60mph right now with standard gearing.

I guess you don't have to worry much about door dings from other cars.

Maximum speed: 58mph lol

anyone know about using one of these beast on the street? Are they street legal? Seem like very low miles and not a lot of money. Since they are a bit overbuilt, it should last a loooooong time with a CAT diesel motor for civilian use. Why do they get rid of them with suck low milage?

I can see you now...rolling up in one of those beasts. That would also look sweet trundling along in the HOV lane.
