Mercedes-Benz Unimog books - history and models (2/2)

Unimog & MB-trac - Die Chronik

The legendary Unimog has been built at Mercedes-Benz for more than 60 years and there is no end in sight. Based on the Unimog, Mercedes-Benz developed the MB-trac, a powerful tractor that rolled off the same production line as the Unimog from 1972 to 1991.
The book presents a complete chronicle with all models, interesting technology and illustrations, some of which are being published for the first time.

Der Unimog im Forstbetrieb (1) - Holzrücken

There is no question: forestry work is the Unimog's toughest discipline. And the now legendary Mercedes-Benz vehicle has been proving for 65 years that it delivers the very best performance.
Michel Kaiser has now dedicated a series of books to the Unimogs specially equipped for forestry work. He impressively shows how the Unimog has developed into a highly modern helper for forestry companies over its long history.

The first volume is about logging, sorted by model series. There is also a chapter each about the Uniknick from Werner, the cable crane systems on Unimog and the Hürtgenwald I small-wood harvester.
When illustrating the book, the author was able to draw on a huge pool of first-class, previously unknown photographs.

Der Unimog im Forstbetrieb (2) - Wegebau und anderes

For more than 65 years, the legendary workhorse Unimog has proven that it is irreplaceable in forestry work. Logging is already documented in detail in the first volume, with the exception of the newer series that are included in this book.

But hauling timber is by no means all that the Unimog has to do in the forest. Paths, areas, forests, buildings, ditches, meadows and properties also have to be laid out and kept in order - and that is what this second volume is mainly about.
Michel Kaiser has once again produced an impressive work, with a wealth of unique, previously unpublished photographs.

Werner Uniknick - UK 52, UK 60, UK 130/160

NEW

After World War II, the Unimog (Universal Motor Device) was developed for agricultural and forestry use. To this day, no other vehicle worldwide offers such versatility.
As forestry became more specialized, the demand for specialized machinery grew. Werner, a company from Trier, specialized as a supplier for Daimler-Benz in forestry attachments and modifications based on Unimog and MB-trac. This traditional company had its own development department and worked closely with Daimler-Benz and forestry customers.
Unimog and MB-trac expert and renowned author Michel Kaiser provides detailed insights and numerous previously unpublished images of the forestry tractor Uniknick and the wood harvester Hürtgenwald by Werner from Trier in this volume.
