Any 4WD tractor can do that! Basically that is what they turned it into a 4WD enclosed-cab tractor without the front-end loader or the brushhog/3pt hitch

I think you are missing the point... and there is no way that thing could cost as much as a big 4wd tractor.

It would be nice if it had a 3 point hitch and a fron end loader....I'm looking for a cheap 4WD tractor for my 10 acre hilltop.I think you are missing the point... and there is no way that thing could cost as much as a big 4wd tractor.

Love mogs. Like taking the buffalo tours on Catalina Island in them. Just wish they would articulate more.

What is the point?
I remember Unimogs from my time in the Army. They didn't articulate as has been previously mentioned, so they didn't make a particularly good front end loader. They also broke down and were extremely labor intensive, so they didn't last long enough to dig more than a few fighting positions. For the money a 4x4 diesel conversion van with a lift would probably go farther, last longer and cost less. Use the money saved to buy a real tractor. That thing stands out like a sore thumb, "Bullet Magnet."

My '70s Allice-Chalmers "220" will run 30 mph down the road; it's got a two-speed rear differential. But that's it's "top speed." I'll bet that unimog will run faster but that's all the faster the video showed IMO.
that thing was doin more than 30

And my 220 was built in the '70s and has no suspension. I've read of big 4wd tractors built in the last 10 years that will run 50 mph down the road with a full-on suspension system. JCB Fastrac being a perfect example. 60mph isn't unheard of with these tractors.
EDIT: I'm not saying this Unimog isn't completely badass (which it is). I'm just saying that there are tractors that will flat-out move. The Friday, which was an orchard tractor made in Michigan, was claimed to have been able to do a little over 60 MPH. The Fastrac 3250, used as a push car for the JCB Dieselmax diesel land speed record car pushed at 80mph, at Bonniville in '07. It's alleged to go even faster...
havent spent too much time around tractors, but im sure some will move but i bet they cost out the ass, of coarse this thing does too im sure. hell its says magpull on it so there is 5000 for the decal

You all argue over that thing. Just give me the $150 to $200k that that thing costs to build. I'll take my beater blazer and 50 acres I don't have to move an inch on. You folks wander the vast wasteland looking for nothing but trouble with that thing.
