The Unimog is the go anywhere 4×4 truck from Mercedes. Updated hugely over the years, the Unimog is like a Swiss Army knife. You can add so many attachments it can carry out almost an job anywhere. The only downside is the price – but you pay for what you get. This also means that the Unimog holds their value and residuals are strong. If you need a Unimog then you will have to buy one regardless of the price because there is nothing else that can do the job. These are rare – if you have invested in one you tend to keep hold of it! Even models that are decades old still command strong residual values – especially if fitted with additional equipment such as a crane, tipper or access platform. If you find one, snap it up.
December 2021 saw more powerful versions of the Unimog introduced to the UK market. The new models, U435 amd U535 both have 354hp available at Euro 6 – an increase of 54hp over the most powerful version prior to the launch. GVW of 14 and 16.5 tonnes respectively, the largest capacity in the range.
Higher engine power means a new automated transmission for both models plus self-levelling suspension for the rear axle.

A dairy believes they have found an ideal use for the talented Unimog. It replaces a high-speed tractor and can travel up to 250 miles a day towing milk tankers. Why not buy a ‘normal’ truck? Firstly, everyone wants a Unimog – you can turn it from left hand drive to right hand drive at the flick of a switch, for example. How cool is that? Secondly, the Unimog has other work to do around the 250 acre farm. There are hedges that need trimming, trailers that need moving across fields and operating the pumping equipment for the milk.

Everyone knows that Mercedes Unimogs are fantastic – the question is can you justify paying the price tag for one? That’s the dilemma that Luke Finney no longer has. He has convinced himself that they are definitely worth the money. It only took the agricultural and equestrian contractor fourteen years to make the decision, so he’s probably right. “If I’d known Unimogs were this good I would have bought one years ago. Having experienced the vehicle’s amazing range of abilities, I can’t understand why anyone in my line of work would choose anything else. There’s no turning back now.” Luke…>
