@@stigandrmyrardalur5208 well either way he needs to approach slower, low range doesn't mean spin the tires as much as you can, it means slowly crawl through it, without spinning everything out from under your wheels and losing traction! We get through more than this in a locked up Nissan pickup with 36"s. This unimog should do better if the driver wasn't incompetent.
Sometimes narrower tires get better grip in these conditions, because they will sink through the soft snow (or mud) and grip the harder material (or ground) under it. The Unimog is awesome. What a legendary vehicle.
@@Focusfury05 it's a very relaxed curve for tire pressure & contact patch. lowering the pressure on tires a little bit from normal does a lot. The lower you drop the pressure, the less effect it has on increasing the contact patch, so there's a sweet spot.
Schneeketten aus dem Juttesack aufziehen im Matsch war kein Spaß. Und den ganzen Schmoder nachher sauber machen auch nicht. Und das Ding wäre auch ohne Ketten durch das Schlammloch gekrochen. 😂

@@ReinhardSchuster for how much does a new F350 go? To be honest the old low power versions of Unimogs that were used as snow plows can be found in Europe for a decent price but anything with some getup and go costs money. Also military versions can sometimes pop up for a bargain price but they are petrol and have weaker running gear.
@@ReinhardSchuster thats why they don't break often, we have an old U406 with a winch that has been on forrest duty for over 15 years, never a major failure. The thing about Unimogs is that if the Unimog specific part numbers jack up the price BUT many parts are used from other commercial Mercedes trucks for which parts are affordable.
Great Vid. When I was stationed at Camp Giant Korea. We had a few Unimogs, there was not a wet clay mud slicked hill these remarkable vehicles could not climb up or traverse down. Of course it also comes down to the skill of the operator knowing how to use the transmission, transfer case and at what remarkable to operate the engine. These are one of the best German utility vehicles ever.
I drove the Union during my military time. As long as you are familier with some basics like gravitaion, you can push that thing almost anywhere. Front, rear and central diff can be locked. It is ridiculously how good it performs off road
Well at 14000 lbs with the tires already lowered like they are it will just crawl to a haunt. I’ve been running these rigs for many many years. Sometimes u just gotta hit it!
I drove a Mercedes Benz Unimog while being in the Army many years ago. There was a mobile telephone central mounted on it's back. I really loved to drive this truck with the double H gear shift. Many greetings from Germany.
I used to work at an Electric company in the UK, we had loads of these with custom boxes and equipment like cranes, cherry pickers on the back etc all kitted out with winches etc. Must have cost a small fortune.
I have found a couple of things that worked for me on hills in Vancouver, where the snow is kind of soft... 1) if feasible, turn around, and reverse up, so that weight transfer, plus engine weight, give more traction than a "frontal assault" 2) going up forward, assuming that front wheels are driven, with 4x4 or front drive, use a "sidewinder" approach, swinging side to side, so that the front wheels are going across the slope, effectively reducing the grade. I did find that traction control, if it's not 'corrected' by steering angle, tries to make the car go straight, as both wheels are forced to go the same distance... Anyway, just a thought, based on some steep hills and crappy snow.
There are two strategies for snow. 1.) Pizza cutter tires for snow that is no deeper than your ground clearance 2.) The lightest weight vehicle on the fattest tires for snow that is deeper than it's ground clearance. This is heavy with not particularly fat tires for snow wheeling.
I am not a fan of foreign vehicles, mainly because they can be extremely expensive to repair after a certain number of miles, but I would love to have a Unimog. They are incredible, and a 5.9 Cummins is the perfect engine replacement.
Impressive but also highlights the Unimog weakness; lack of speed to get you much further with each attempt. If on the 2nd attempt you can use the tracks you already made and do it in 30-35mph you can punch much deeper and make it in 2 attempts.
It’s quite a tractor. In Europe we use it for all the different types of jobs. It’s probably the most important machine we have. They have been making these things for quite some time. Old ones are very cool too. Though not cheap at all.
Did it in my Outlander on spiked tires. No I didn't. But the Unimog sure is a beast. They always were. Dreaming of one with a frontmounted double propeller snowblower, and a crane on the back
They have portal axles. So of course you get the entire ground clearance, not just half of it with a big bar that catches on things. If I could afford it, I'd have a Unimog Camper but sadly those vehicles are rare in the US.
