I got a Unimog! (Freightliner FLU419 SEE)

The Freightliner Unimog FLU419 SEE is a military tractor designed for light construction site work in extreme conditions. It can do 50mph on the road, tackle just about any terrain, and prep a site competently thanks to the Case 580 backhoe they slapped on the backside!

This was so fun! Such a great adventure.

I remember when our EN unit got these. MOS was 62J type. You could tell you jad a good old school 62 because they would use forearms and hands to work the levers simultaneously.

Nice video. Too bad the rest of the ride was lost. The sound of the engine is simply brilliant! My father himself had a Unimog of this series for agricultural use, which I often drove here in Germany. The split gears work best if you use the clutch twice. So depress the clutch, main gear to neutral, release the clutch, depress the clutch again immediately, split gear in, main gear to the next stage and release the clutch again. It's a matter of practice. Important: always shift with the clutch. Just like your truck drivers in the States drive, shifting up and down with the gas pedal without the clutch, that doesn't work with the Unimog. The transmission is not designed for this.
Have fun with it.

Dude that can drive over more stuff than you know. Learn it.

Unimog! 🦾 They're practically their own vehicle class in Germany. If someone pulls up with a Unimog they mean serious business. Keep it busy!
