Re: [MBZ] I bought this to keep the roads clear of downed trees, but it is is too much machine for me 1987 Mercedes-Benz unimog, $19, 000

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

 Probably with a bunch of other things. In this case it goes on a truck all by 
its lonesome.
That price is the worst case scenario if I have to hire a truck to drive 16 
hours and spend an hour loading/unloading at each end. Best case would be 
finding somebody who is deadheading north to pickup a load...

I guess prices have gone up.  I shipped my 12000# Mog from Bremerhaven 
(Germany) to Tacoma for that.

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

 After going to the gym 3 days a week for a year I've actually gained 
(regained?) an inch as confirmed at a Dr. visit last month. I suppose this 
would just put that inch back. ;)
I bet shipping that thing would be a big expense. I've priced moving a 14,000# 
backhoe the 450 miles to camp and it looks like its going to be somewhere just 
south of $3,000...

 I have considered such things, that one is slightly high for my price point 
but if it were closer I'd probably make the stretch to get it. An advantage 
would be the possibility of dismounting the loader and backhoe and driving it 
although I suspect the 450 miles would be a looong uncomfortable drive.

No indeed.  I drove mine from Tacoma to Spokane, and it was one of the longest
highway trips I've ever taken.  Slow, hot, and noisy.  Figure 45-50mph tops.  
Nowhere
near that going up mountain passes.

That unit, however, is just what I want to complete my set.

Looks like a good deal.  Diesel is likely an OM352.  Very capable, but not
something you want to take a long highway trip in.
