S.E.E. not just for septic tank work

[bchauvette]

I think this is the first non septic tank work with Kermit. Transplanting trees. My wife said that if she was paying me to do it she wouldn't pay me

 

[Floridianson]

Nice. Yea I wanted one to start a concrete busting company. No hauling just load rolloff's.

I can S.E.E. that lil rascal being handy for lots of things. If I ever get rid of some of my "nice to look at stuff" I might be able to get something I can actually use!!

I hope you aren't planting that tree in the center of your MV parking area!

How does the SEE compare to a 580C,D or E when it comes to digging?

The S.E.E. Tractor is yet an other government concoction that dosn't do anything well. Especially when compared to a 580.

Doesn't it seem odd that the Germans and Europeans can get work out of Unimogs, and we can't. I will bet you that the SEE beats you digging with a "D"handle shovel out of your pioneer rack, and it will outrun your 580C on long, high speed road marches..... Plus the Unimog will take many more implements then the 580C and can also move a freight train......

Just a thought, if you know how to use the machine, it does work better.....

The SEE predecessor is a lot better than a shovel and pick axe too. Did 170' x 42" deep for a hot water line from outdoor stove to house. It's not a track hoe, but it's not a rental and delivery charge either.

I work for a danish multifaceted recovery company and we still use old mogs as off road recovery vehicles. And good old beasts they are

Actually it isn't a government concoction. Benz was putting loaders and backhoes on Unimogs long before our government decided to enlist them into US military service. It is actually really good at doing what it was enlisted for "Emplacement" of weapon positions, digging fox holes etc. It is fast and can be driven in under it's own power, can quickly dig new positions on the front line. No waiting for heavy equipment to be moved in.

Always like the Unimogs:

TehTDK, That's a nice Mog! It's larger than the U900 based SEE trucks and doesn't look as big as it is until you're next to it. Love the XM-47 Michelins or same tread Conti's. No tread looks more appropriate on a Unimog than those do.

 

[TehTDK]

Spicergear,

The company I work for still uses these for "off road" road side recovery, and a lot of the crew prefer the older Mog's over the newer offering they have started buying. The one on my pictures was refurbed a couple years ago according to the crew operating it.

Kermie makes a good tire machine

The spare on the M94A1 sits horizontal under the truck allowing water to set and seep in between the combat wheel half's causing them to rust weld. As luck would have it we needed to exchange tires and rims. Kermies back HO makes a good bead breaker, rim separator. coffee

 

[marchplumber]

I would definitely be interested in one of those!! Will have to keep my eye/ears open for an opportunity! Around the property, a multi purpose machine could certainly come in handy!! Good to see it earning it's keep.
