The Mercedes-Benz Unimog is in a league of its own: Work and tractor vehicle in one. It combines extreme versatility on the job, high transport speeds and out- standing off-road mobility. The Unimog can be used all year round by using various implements fitted to its four attachment and mounting points. Whether driving over fields or on the road: the Unimog is the most effective transport solution – and, thanks to its low fuel con- sumption, it is extremely economical as well.

The Unimog. The cost-effective transport solutionFast and economical for any terrain
The end of the road is no reason for your transport to come to a standstill: With the pressure resulting from continually increasing costs and distances, it is particularly important for farmers and private contractors to have fast and efficient transport solutions. When alternating between field and farm, roads and silos, the Unimog is really able to demonstrate its abilities: safe off-road driving, easy-going on the soil, fast and safe on the road – all combined with a large payload and high tractive power. The Unimog is capable of completing complex operations with very moderate fuel consumption. That means you get more use for lower costs per kilometre. Economic efficiency that pays.
The Unimog. The cost-effective transport solution
Cost-effectiveness is the key word when the Unimog is used for agricultural operations – whether for running equipment or transporting loads. With up to 40 tonnes overall haulage weight and thanks to its high payload and handling qualities, the Unimog is able to deal with large capacities and heavy loads both fast and effectively. Due to its short chassis, it is able to make optimal use of the maximum transport length of 18.75 m (61.5 ft.) allowed in the EU – either with several axles or even with two trailers. Front- and rear-mounted implements can also be attached and removed very quickly so that the Unimog is always ready and waiting for a whole range of jobs that may need doing.

System and implement-carrying expertiseCarry on working when others have to stand still
One system – many possibilities. It is always highseason for the Unimog even when it is not being used fortransport jobs. With up to four attachment and mountingpoints it is ready and waiting for each and every kind ofjob. The quick-change systems with their colour-codedhydraulic connections ensure a fast exchange of manyimplements – ideal for a flexible work schedule. The Unimog implement-carrying concept means that it can be used just as easily at peak harvest times as for rural conservation or municipal winter services.Quite simply, it pays to have a Unimog – for all 365 daysof the year.
Operational and power hydraulic. The Unimog has asingle or dual circuit hydraulic system for driving andhandling implements in the lower and medium perfor-mance range – easily controlled by joystick with one hand. And for the upper performance range, thereis the high performance hydraulic system VarioPower®
with circuits III and IV.
Rear and front power take off. PTOs at the front and rearare provided for driving implements mechanically.Implements requiring a great deal of power up to 150 kWcan be run off the front PTO with a load switch which isdriven directly by the engine. An optional rear PTO withup to 120 kW continuous output and two PTO speeds(540 and 1,000 revs/min) is also available. Anotherattractive feature: the height-adjustable trailer couplingwith an 80 mm tow coupling head and the rear powerlift with up to 5 t lifting power. We have a range of otherauxiliary drives for you to choose from for operatingother mechanical implements while stationary.
Infinitely variable. The hydrostatic transmission driveallows for an infinitely variable adjustment of the workingspeed between 0 and 25 km/h (15.6 mph) with a constant engine speed and it can be easily controlled either by the accelerator or manually. This makes driving easier and the driver can better concentrate on his work. Simply se-lect the driving or working mode by pressing the button.
Work efficiently and comfortably all year round. Unimog makes it possible. Its implement-carrying concept was developed so that you are able to complete your operations economically, powerfully and efficiently – whether it is for fast transport jobs or for especially economical year-round operations such as mowing, clearing snow or cleaning.

System and implement-carrying expertise8 9
Chassis expertiseArrive fast and safely
Whether on the field or on the road, with the Unimog you get where you want to go without making any detours. This is due to a chassis concept that is not supplied by any other manufacturer worldwide. Unusually high ground clearance, very good angles of approach and departure, great stability when not moving as well as excellent traction and speeds of up to 90 km/h (56.5 mph) on paved roads.
with the ground. Should the terrain get really difficult,locking differentials in both axles make sure full poweris available.
Four-wheel drive and single tyres. Four wheels of equalsize support the Unimog’s excellent running featuresand high traction. The four-wheel drive combines withthe multi-pass effect of the rear wheels running in thefront wheel tracks to provide improved traction. That means there is less slip, a better performance-area ratio, and lower fuel costs per acre/hectare.
Outstanding handling. The Unimog leaves no roomfor doubt with its outstanding off-road capabilities andremarkable degree of comfort. Its high payload andexcellent driving stability also allow larger and heaviermounted implements such as fertilizer spreaders or her-bicide/pesticide sprayers with a boom length of up to 36 m (118 ft.).
Portal axles provide as much ground clearance aspossible, and the great axle articulation using coil springsmakes sure that all four wheels are in continual contact-
Chassis expertise
Your advantages at a glance
The central tyre inflation system is easy on the soil and saves on tyres and fuel. Just press the button, andtire control, the central tyre inflation system, lets thedriver lower the tyre pressure for just one or both axleswhile driving and without leaving his driving seat.This means the Unimog is less likely to sink into softground so that it can use its full tractive power evenon soft terrain. When stationary, the lowered pressureprevents field damage due to soil compression. Once onthe road, however, wear on the tyres, fuel consumptionand sound levels are decreased with a higher tyre pressure.

Your advantages at a glance
Easy to operate and ergonomics The operator in the spotlight
Equipped with Safety. The UnimogWorking safely day after day
Outstanding visibility of surroundings and mounting points, high safety standards and clearly arranged control elements. The Unimog’s panoramic cab has everything the driver needs to make his working day ergonomic, comfortable and safe. Generous headroom and space to move, high standards of soundproofing and insulation, standard air-conditioning, an integrated parking heater as well as easy-to-operate controls. All of these features help to combat driver fatigue.
The Unimog also sets standards with its active and passive safety concept: a safety concept that is geared to avoiding accidents altogether and to minimising the results should an accident actually happen. A whole range of modern safety systems provides a high rate of accident prevention for the driver and all other road users, making the Unimog a very safe option for municipal use.
Better view, more safety. With its short implement dimensions in front and wide field of vision, the Unimog makes sure that the driver is aware of critical situations in good time. Short implement dimensions are to be understood as the distance between the front edge of the attached implement and the centre of the steering wheel in the vehicle. In combination with those front-attached implements certified by Mercedes-Benz, the Unimog is below the legal limit of 3.5 m. The position of the front seats combined with the very large windows in the pano-ramic cab ensure the driver has a good overall view of his working area.
Control is better. Directional stability and controlled braking are decisive safety factors – especially on wet, snow-covered or icy roads. Here the Unimog gives a very convincing performance. With its well-balanced axle load distribution it can keep its directional stability even if there is a risk of skidding. Thanks to its standard ABS, during emergency braking the Unimog can still be steered and come to a precise stop despite varying

surface conditions. The easy-to-use snowchains or the alternative use of rotating chains make driving under hazardous conditions much safer for the driver.
On the safe side with the Unimog. A relaxed driver can concentrate better, and that means greater safety. The driver’s place in the Unimog has therefore been designed with particularly low vibrations: a fully spring-cushioned chassis, a four-point sprung-mounted cab and an air-sprung driving seat keep the vibration strain low. As work vehicles run a relatively high risk of rear-end collisions because of their low working speed, the Unimog also has very effective impact pro-tection. Should an accident actually occur, the ballast weight and the sturdy frame of the vehicle with its platform body make sure that the impact is absorbed and greatly reduced before reaching the driver’s seat. Three-point safety belts and headrests also provide additional protection. Further information can be found online at: www.mercedes-benz.com/unimog-safety
Easy changing with Telligent®. The Unimog provides justthe right speed for every operation with its easy-to-switchelectro-pneumatic transmission. When driving on roads,you can save fuel by being in the right gear. The forward/back Electronic Quick Reverse (EQR) system helps you tochange direction quickly. The working gears (8/8) extendthe speed range to provide the right gear for the job andincrease tractive power. With the crawler gears (8/8), theUnimog can use extremely slow rates of feed down to lessthan 100 m/h (328 ft/h).
Retaining the overview in the cab. The quick-changesteering VarioPilot® (optional) means you can sit where you can see best. The steering column can be moved manually from left to right so that you always retain a complete overview of your working area.
