Awesome to see. I have thousands of hours operating a SEE and know them from front to back, top to bottom. It was always considered a POS but it did its job very well. Except the heater. It sucked. Imagine being in one with a passenger have full gear on, 2 M16s and an M60 inside the cab.
Full house!
I'd like to personally thank you and your SEE operator brothers for digging our foxholes and Ranger Graves down at DZ Normandy! Saved us hours of work!!
Do you need a CDL type license to drive there
I was a SEE operator and M60 gunner, stuck the M60 in a tool compartment when traveling. Nice thing about it was my fighting position was the first one dug
You just described the lucky ones that were 62J's ...... My heater worked well ..... But weren't much room for two people with sandbags on the floor, 2 A1's , etc .... But I loved my S.E.E. and she loved me ..... I'd take that S.T. any day of the week best piece of eqpt 62J or 62E ....
I was in Germany when they first were feild tested. I worked in maintenance and this equipment was one of the best things running. You can remove the back attachment in about 20 minutes and the front in about 10 mnutes. The entire system is designed with open centered valves to allow the to sit in place off the equipment and if someone moved the valves the attachment would not move at all. Safety built in to keep people safe. One thing that I found was to have plenty of fuel filters on hand, always changing them.
We had one in my engineer unit - it had a wonderfully bouncy quality to its ride and a funky shifter - it could dig a fighting position in 5 minutes that would take two guys 8 hours by hand. It also had a fantastic hydraulic system capable of running a chainsaw and a jackhammer which both worked fantastically when we used them. Cool Video!
As an Army Grunt, I used to LOVE seein’ the SEE pull up when we were digging in.
Those engineers could dig a whole platoon in in an hour. If I had to dig the fighting position in by hand it was an all day affair.
Dug in many of y'all. I was digging in an MP unit once and one of them asked me if I could dig the grenade sump too. Use your imagination on what was said to him. LOL
@@hotroddude6551 lol . Some folks wouldn’t be happy if ya hung em with a new rope.
But seriously, I was a machine gunner and it was such a relief to have y’all just dig the T . I could dig the tables and the sumps with an e-tool in about an hour, including sandbagging the tables.
If I ever meet you I’ll give you a bag of M&M and the Tabasco from my mre cause you sound like a good guy.
I was a combat engineer in Germany in the 40th engineers, and also in Fort Campbell with the 101st, and a reserve unit in Lexington Kentucky also. I drove SEE trucks in both Iraq and Afghanistan. Well done this is something I always wanted to have
Thanks
@@C_CEQUIPMENTwhat are your thoughts on making one of these into an SUV??
I remember being in the army back in the early 90s digging M-60 Foxhole pits in the Kentucky dirt with ruts everywhere and a Uni Mogg coming over and finishing them up for us , damn what a relief that was as it was 104° that day and 90% humidity !!
Man I would love to have one of these on my property to clean up after hurricanes, but like everything else it takes money and on disability is hard to come up with that kind of money. I'm giving 6.5 acres and a home for disabled to ST Judes children's hospital for the kids to enjoy the gulf coast .hope many children can have some fun here .love you guys and hope to see many more videos from yall
Worked on these when I was in the Army as a mechanic. When they work they are great, but when they don't they can be a pain!
Yes for sure
Anything German
4/14/22; Clint, that Mercedes/Unimog 'Backhoe & Loader' is quite the combo unit. Thx for giving all us viewers this video demo. 👍👍👍⚙🧑🔧🚜
Thanks 👍
You did a fantastic job sir. I remember this equipment when I was stationed in Hawaii back in the mid 80's. This was the equipment that was used on base all the time! And that baby can travel at 50 mph!
Every 62 Juliet .......... Did he just say he sells them ......... Hmmmmm ........... LOL....... IDK maybe it's just me ....... I freaking LOVED this piece of equipment .... Always made sure to dot every i and cross every T during PMCS ...... She was a good girl !!
Thanks for the demonstration video. Was really curious about them. Never even knew they existed until you showed them in your channel. Looks like very capable little machines.
Someone did an awesome job of filming and editing your video. Sound, camera, and drone footage all blended together to make a really cool video. Great information on a unique piece of equipment too. Thanks Clint!
Thanks
It was just me and Kevin flying a drone
Keep up the good work!
Back in the 80’s my company wanted to build a new 5 bay bus garage so the owner bought a used case 580B and I ended up being the operator. I dug foundations , septic bed , fuel tanks( back when it wasn’t such a hassle to bury them) water and utility lines plus drive and parking. It had the 3 lever controls with foot swing. The boom rested in the over centre position but there wasn’t a lock. When swinging with that one you needed to operate one of the other functions at the same time as swing to slow it down for smoother swing. Got pretty comfortable operating it, but joy sticks would have been nice.That came with the 580 C.
I was in an Engineer Battalion back in 1990 when our unit got some and never did see them used. It was nice to see how they work.
i can tell you after using one its a horrid machine, Was in an engineer battalion back in 1999 anytime we would go for training we would just leave them at the umcp and not use them
Damn that’s cool - all unimogs are awesome. Can be used for anything
Great video. When that first surprised rider comes around the corner and hits your ditch, you can just cover him right up.
Lol
That happens weekly 😁
Small town m.u.d.'s would be perfect for one of those little things. You can move fast enough to get around town and be able to use it for all sorts of maintenance and repairs. The jackhammer and other hand tools are just a bonus
I haven't seen one of those things work since I was in Germany.. I always heard the engineers hated those things. Great video!
Very nice demonstration, the back digs like construction equipment and the front pushes like a farm tractor great alternative to a tractor
Wow i could work all day in that Unimog, i Love it, very handy, its like one big tool, what a transformer!
This seems like the perfect homestead all in one tool! I mean with this alone you could do just about everything you would ever need
I told my wife I neeeeeeeed one we will see😊 neat little unit
Nice demonstration. When I was a young kid, I had a Matchbox car collection like all boys in the 60s. One of my favorites was a Unimog. I have seen them in use in videos from Europe with all kinds of cool stuff hooked up to them.
newer Unimogs with this setup have a hydraulic suspension lock for when you are digging or pushing dirt so you dont dig in jumps and rits from the suspension giving - also they have now both on the PTO pump so front loader is almost janky fast
I live in Nova Scotia, Canada. I’ve never seen one of these until watching your channel. They kind of look like a drawing that a little kid would draw 😆
Used to be a ton of those old Case backhoes around here years ago. Must have all died off by now
4:39 the awesome thing abaut such a hydraulic saw is you can use it under water -- like cut up a tree the beavers felled or cut the remaining stilts from a old deck underwater even with the mud - also good for cutting ice and trees halfway covered in mud like during a landslide
our fire brigade got such hydraulic saw kits on their newer model Jeeps - ofc you can also power shears and pry tools to open crashed cars, get pinched people out - just like that with a hose roll and a disconnectable pump that engages with a belt tentoner like a ride on lanwmower blade
What a great machine. Very practical. I'm sure you could see a boat load of them once people see what you can do with them. Great video!
See quite a few of them here in the UK. Quite popular with tree surgeons.
If I was a property management company, I would definitely want one of these in my arsenal of equipment. Fully kitted out these seem super handy. You add a finger attachment to the backhoe and you have a very capable tree clearing solution.
yep with the hyd it is a very handy pc of equip and you can travel pretty good
useful farm toy or light trencher i guess! Sure is a bouncer lol. Nice, clean, stupidly simple to use.. Easy to work on. It's a workhorse. Thanks for the demo and the video share as always Clint
Thanks
@@C_CEQUIPMENT
There is word that Milwaukee is going produce a cordless 1inch impact wrench .
Hopefully this could be useful.
@@assassinlexx1993 they do
I already have one
Thanks for the video Clint. You did a better job on it than I could have.
Been missing videos for some reason, I have. Glad I got notified for this one!
Dirt Perfect needs one of these in his fleet
Good vibes, watch from pushing in from lot to shop, complete restoration and know working and road test. Thank you.😊
Where I live in the UK, the local council runs a couple of these with wood chippers on the back. No need to tow one and through put is awesome. If you had a plat of land one of these would be ideal as you can get all types of accessories for them.
Thanks for showing the hydraulic tools. All new to me.
Hell of a demostration Clinton. never knew much about them. i learned more on this video than i did in History class. Thanks.
Thanks
My dad used to operate one of those when he was in the service. Deffinatly hope I get to own one some day.
Thanks for the demonstration great video as usual
Really complete showing all tasks, thanks for your time w the explanation !!!
That machine looks useful to a contractor , thank you for the video, great overhead shots 👌👏👏👏👍🇬🇧🍺
Thanks
Most impressive! Thanks for the demo and may you be continually blessed with all the good that you do
Hi from uk guys 👋👍 great little piece of kit these unimogs are👍 quite versatile to what its abilities are and could bebwith the right operators👍 nice to have the hydraulic attachments too 👌 thanks for demo clint 👍 thanks for your time and be safe see you soon👍👋
Thanks for watching
They work slick. Im not a Fan of those controls.I was raised on John Deere Controls. But when I went out pipelining I had to learn CAT Controls. It takes a minute after operating with JD controls for 18 years..LOL..That truck works slick...Great Video....
Thanks
I have used the hydraulic chainsaw setting timbers underground doing retreat mining they work pretty good as long as you keep them sharp and take care of them, we ran them off of a Fairchild scoops.
Can't afford one..have no use for one..no place to put one..but..I still want one!!! Love the military vehicle videos!
Excellent video. Thank you.
the G on the gear stick stands for "gelande"german for terrain or offroad if you will .its a ultra low crawl gear with max torque at low speeds. the porsche 959 rally car also had such gear to enable it to take off on loose or muddy terrain without digging itself in instantly
Hey man I was working the railroad some time back right by your location recently and this specific truck caught my curiosity very intensely. Thank God I found your channel!
That’s cool
Thanks
I worked for a rural electric for 35 years and job was to run the company backhoe . If I was around O was the only one who could run ir. Joel Peppe Clear Lake SD
For the life of me, I don't understand why you don't have more subscribers! Hopefully that will happen soon as your expertise and content is outstanding.
Thanks
Wow! If I owned a lot of land I would definitely own one of those bad boys lol. That was neat. I’m surprised Mr Perfect doesn’t own one of those lol. Thanks for that demo, Clint. I have always wondered how those operated. Thanks for sharing!
Edit to say that’s as handy a a pocket on a shirt. 😁
I drove one for 25 years for AT&T just like this one. Used it to set pole and anchors and plow snow in Lake Tahoe and truckee California.
That's an awesome bit of kit, Clint; and pretty good operating skills for a 'Case rookie' !
Clint they are cool cabs small don’t think you or anyone could sit in it all day 👍
Probably not
SUCH a cool demo! 😍👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I can see this machine doing a lot of things good, great machine for a farmer back in the boonies, thank you for your videos.
You bet
Exactly my thoughts, btw UNIMOG stands for Universelles Mobiles Gerät, universal mobile device - very suitable!
I have seen one of these Case equipped Unimogs before when they were on a near by Case Equipment Dealer's lot. ( This was back in the mid 70's, when Case had them all painted up in Case colors and like you mentioned even back then, there was no doubt that what you were seeing was a Case.
This is the first time that I have seen one in demonstration though. These are one heck of a machine, to be sure.
that thing is awesome. digs alot better than i was expecting. would love to have one, so handy to have around the farm
ANOTHER FANTASTIC PHENOMENAL JOB. AWESOME MEACHINE FOR OURS MILITARILY TO USE FOR OURS FREEDOM.
Really enjoyed this instructions video ! Awesome👍👍
I can see places where the unimog would be really handy. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching
As usual a very informative video, I enjoy watching your videos because of the educational value
Thanks
Again Clint. Thanks for the video. I’ve always heard about them. But have never seen one work. 👌👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks for watching
Great video Clint enjoyed watching what engine is in this 🇺🇲
Glad you enjoyed it

Love your videos what a lovely machine it's like a swiss pocket knife but a lot bigger

I really enjoyed the demonstration of the "Unimog". I will have to watch this again so that I can see how you were able to be in the operators seat of the back hoe and wanted to bring up the front end loader. Would the machine automatically apply brakes to the Unimog ? Looks like it could possibly start rolling. Great demonstration..
Hey I'm 63 and this I operated 980 cat loader that was sweet machine
Wow that looks like a ton of possibilities.
That's damn cool!!! I don't think I've ever seen a Mog with such a short wheelbase and I damn sure haven't seen one with a loader/backhoe attachment set before 😍
What a slick machine... super video Clint!
Thanks
This is an interesting machine, thanks for doing a video on this I was curious when you got all of them in!
Put a set of chains on one of those and it would be pretty much unstoppable 👍🏻🏴
Beautiful machine. Thanks for the comprehensive video.
Might be excellent on a little farm :D and just for having fun, engine sounds very nice!
Just saw that ona surplus auction and wanted to learn more about that! Excellent walktrough!
This equipment has a lot of uses and would be great for farmers. Thanks for the Demo.
Thanks for watching!
Pretty cool piece of kit. And like you said, it’ll get the job done. 👍
Loader Operator Tip: Ideally, the bottom of the loader bucket should just slide along flat between un-disturbed dirt and your waste pile. Use the bottom and heel of the loader bucket to control the aggressiveness of the loader when digging or backfilling. Lip above heel causes bucket to raise above grade when going forward and bucket lip below heel lets the bucket descend deeper. Most industrial loaders will have a bucket level indicator to assist the operator to control his grade.
Yep
by the way you operate these machines show you have a lot of experience with unimog
Clint thanks for sharing! Kevin
Cool video never knew they where sold with case backhoe boom overseas, in Austria and Germany those aimed at construction companies with Schaeff Backactor. But they were not sucessful, for once tehre are no backhoes arround here, we run smaller wheeled diggers like atlas and such ever since. On the other hand compared to a backhoe moving the machhine when trenching would be even harder to do a lot of digging performance...
Great PROFESSIONAL presentation of the "use" of the equipment. :-)
The dual camera use was great too
Thanks
An interesting piece of equipment, reminders me of a JCB 1CX not good at everything but bloody handy. The Australian army had a high speed backhoe that was similar to this but based on a tractor if I remember correctly.
Great machine with a good operator 🦘👍
Worked with them from 96-99. Thing is basically indestructible.
Thanks for the demo that was cool I find them truck/machines interesting 👍
Those machines are soo amazing !
Just wanted you to know that is great 👍 I'm up in CT this is great stuff 👍 😀 👏 👌 thanks so much for your kind help with this is great
Thanks
Great stuff. Very informative! Everyone needs one of these. However the way I am (arthritis) Id'e never be able to operate it!
now imagine being able to test one of the newer versions of the unimog, they really are quite a good utility truck, kind of also why they are still in use in the EU, they just do about everything needed for utility work and such. even tho they arent the fastest, they are made for work
Nice job on the tutorial Clint. At least I don't feel
like the village idiot anymore..Definitely going to save this video.
Thanks
Thanks
Learned a bunch of things, on something I was unfamiliar with, which made this more interesting. Good video
Thanks
Very cool little truck I wish I could buy one
Great video. Exactly what I was looking to see.
Nice drone footage 👍
Thanks
Kevin was in charge of that
Kelly manufacturing in Breman Indiana back in the day offered a backhoe option for the H1 Hummer, sold quite a few to cemeteries for digging graves.
Interesting
@@C_CEQUIPMENT AM General also sold some H1's with a mounted bucket lift to tele-communications companies for getting into remote off road locations.
@@jamesd.hummell4391 I did see those
they are a cool little truck, be perfect for someone who had to do a little bit of everything around the farm.
I really enjoyed this…. On the UMG The drive part and inside the cab was my favorite .. 👌
Well Done!!!
Thanks for this video. Nice to see one working.
Thanks for watching
