I see that Freightliner will be bring in Unimogs to the US and I hope Canada. We bought one new in 1972 a 421. Had a 10' blade 8' blower and PTO spreader on the rear. When it reached the end of it's usful life in 1994, we couldn't replace it because they were no longer available in Canada.
It had 20 forward speeds and 16 reverse, front anf rear PTO's (2 speed), 3 point hitch with down pressure, 3 way tipping box. Anything that would fit a farm tractor it would run, and do 45 MPH on the highway ( slowest speed WIDE OPEN was 60 feet per hour, BIG snow drifts).
Anyway you people who plow snow, and do lawn stuff instead of fishing should look into it. I think they will be in the $80k US range plus options. Our's cost 13K when 4X4's were $6500, but it worked for 20 years when we were hard pressed to get 4 years out of a 4x4 plowing.
