UNIMOG TIRE CHAINS
This video is about various tire chains for Unimogs and tractors. These are all chains I use to go through deep snow when plowing or snowblowing or taking the Unimogs on trails in the winter. I regularly drive in 2+ feet of snow on steep hills with the chained Unimog. April and I was going to take my chains off but we are getting 2 ft of snow which reminded I made this video a while ago and never posted it.

Unimog Cold Start

This is a brief demonstration on starting a U1300L in 10F or -12C cold weather. This was a stock U1300L with average batteries.

UNIMOG U1300L Ambulance Test Drive
มุมมอง 156K3 ปีที่แล้ว
This is a quick test drive in a Mercedes Benz Unimog U1300L Ambulance. It shows how to start and stop a German Army Spec Unimog. It also shows what it is like to drive a Unimog on the road. This Unimog was going out to a customer and I wanted to give him a quick idea of what to expect. I thought I'd just share it it with everybody.
Kalahari Elephants
มุมมอง 1K9 ปีที่แล้ว
Driving in the Kalahari Desert in Botswana in a Unimog U1300L. We followed a "trail" that no longer existed so the beginning is us actually getting on the "road" after bushwhacking. Elephant dung really does burn and makes a great fuel source.

Unimog U1300L in East African Black cotton. This is some of the slipperiest stuff to drive on. The Unimog was in high demand for recovery and few Land Cruiser or Land Rovers made it far.
Mt. Kenya with a Unimog
มุมมอง 32K9 ปีที่แล้ว
This was driving a Unimog U1300L up an old access road on Mt. Kenya. We got up to about 12,000 feet. It's steeper than it looks, very wet and the mud is extremely slippery. We stayed on the old road until it got grown in and decided to turn back instead of driving on grown in tracks. The smoke from the Unimog is because of the high altitude.
S Sudan Traffic Jam
มุมมอง 3.1K9 ปีที่แล้ว
This is a S.Sudan traffic jam. Some of these vehicles were there for more than a week and some will be stuck for several weeks until the ground hardens up. Unimogs, motorcycles and tractors are the only vehicles that even have a chance of making it through. Filmed from the inside of a Unimog.

    This is stretching a tire. The rim is 11 inches thick but the tire is only 10.5 inches thick so it will not seat using compressed air only. Usually you need to give it air before the explosion so if starts seating you can continue to push it onto the rim. Bead blaster's don't have enough air to stretch these tires but they work fine if the tire is wider than the rim.

      U1300L with OM366A engine. I've started them in colder than that. -20F -28C is about as cold as I've done without ether. They are definitely reluctant but they usually start without ether at that temp but they need good batteries. With a shot of ether I've started Unimogs at close to -40F -40C although it sometimes takes a few tries. They definitely don't like the cold but I've never not been able to start one because of the temp, even with tired old engines with lots of hours.

      I do not believe that is correct, Unimogs are not full time 4x4 as far as I know. They just don’t use locking/unlocking hubs like a regular old truck did, they have a full time hub setup but selectable 2 wheel drive/4 wheel drive…..

    • @theunimogcenter
      @theunimogcenter 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      The U1300L is not fulltime 4x4. You are not always in 4x4. Normally you are in 2x4 rear wheel drive. Not sure where you are getting your info from. Clutch press depends on specific vehicle. Some have a clutch press safety, some don't - depends on the requirements for specific markets and uses.

    @johanlundh5038 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    A bit late.. But the red light on the speedometer is there to warn the driver that he/she is nearing highest allowed speed for heavy vehicles. In Europe you’re not allowed to go any faster than 90kph in a heavy truck, if you’re hauling a trailer you’re only allowed to do 80. This differs some between different countries in Europe, but the upper limit is always 90kph. All vehicles with a total weight of 3500kg or more are subject to this speed limit, except for buses which, at least in Scandinavia, are able to do 100kph. A small question: do you use the tachograph behind the speedometer in the US?

    • @theunimogcenter
      @theunimogcenter 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Tachographs are not used in the USA. I just keep them blank. Yes the warning light is at 80kph for speed limit warnings in Europe. In the USA I can drive 100+kph on many highways if I want to;)

      For the Unimogs with this cab there are three gearboxes: First One(~1979 to ~1989): UG3/40 Second (~1990 to ~2002): UG3/65 Third (~2002 to today): UG3/100 All gears are the same, maybe not exactly, but you wont see any difference. Only ecaption is the 8th gear of the UG3/100, ist 26% (0,74i instead of 1,00i) faster than the 8th gear of the other two.
