Woo! First post in this section! |
|
I spotted the first since joining the forum today. Not sure |
|
which model but it was a U300-500 type with a big cherry picker |
|
on the back. |
|
The driver chuckled to himself as he obviously spotted the look |
|
on my face as he appeared on the roundabout. As always it was a |
|
bit of a drool moment - not looking where I was going and |
|
considering whether to follow it or not?! I decided not as I |
|
don't really like them much - although in the flesh it's |
|
considerably larger than I remembered since seeing the last one. |
|
One day it will be one of the heavy trucks. I've not seen one |
|
U3000-5000 around here yet. ::) |

Ha! theyre quite common with lift platforms on the back, used |
|
by a lot of utility companies :) |
|
it was probably one of the longer wheel bases with it being a |
|
lift platform. |
|
the ugn's are more common than the uhn's as theyre used by the |
|
utilities and also are more comfortable. |

I just can't understand why they didn't make it a little |
|
tougher? If it could handle the same terrain as the old trucks |
|
and the new heavy range they'd be great, but they're like the |
|
old U90 etc - not quite what a Mog should be! |

id be putting a post in this section everyday if i put every |
|
mog i spotted ;D |
|
the ugn isnt designed for ultimate offroad though, its designed |
|
as an implement carrier for road side work/councils/utility |
|
companies. if you are after a tough epic offroader then you go |
|
for a uhn. but the ugn is usually more than capable for what |
|
people want. :) |
