I ran across one of these little brothers to the Pinz thats for sale, any idea how hard/expensive parts are to come by. After I sold my Ferret I said no more foriegn vehicles and I said it again after I bought/sold my Land rover lightweight ( see a pattern here ) but I was just curious

They're like Pinz's but smaller and just as capable. Somewhere between a Mule and a Pinz in size. You could fit it in the bed of your deuce.

I know Swiss Military Vehicles or whatever they're called out in Fayetteville, AR has parts for them. They are pretty cool little machines. The Halfinger/Pinzgauers are well built.

the link for Swiss Military Vehicles is www.pinzgauer.com . I havent had any experience with them personally but ive never heard of anyone not enjoying having one. That may be why the resale value is through the roof on one.

Was that you that bought some glass turn signal lenses from me for your ferret at the GAMVPA rally at Falcon field ( peachtree city) last time it was there?

I have a 72 NA700AP Civilian Haflinger. It is a blast and will make Jeepers and Rhino drivers jealous. They are a nimble, street legal, 2cyl air cooled 32hp 45mph (w 5sp) and have lockers front and rear.

And they can carry a good size load.

They are pricy, and parts are also up there a bit, but overall a lot of bang for the buck, especially for ranchers and others who need to get through narrow rough terrain or dense forest areas.

Goatwerks makes a good desription of the capabilities of a Haflinger. Here we count it in beer carrying capacity (at least some people do). With 800 kg payload which is close to 50 % of the GVW, there are not so many vehicles with the same rating in beer carrying capacity and beeing road legal and off road capabilyty, keep it as long as possible. The pic show the capability of the Haflinger.
Do not forget: They are a nice life boat on a 8 x 8 truck in the rear like a Multy (interchangeable platform)! 8 x 8 with a crane easily can load and unloade them.

I really enjoy owning mine. My wife loves the truck and doesn't understand why I own other trucks. The parts I have bought have been available at my local napa. There is a yahoo group with lots of info available. Haflinger : This group is based on the Steyr-Puch 4 wheel Drive Vehicle called the Haflinger

Mog1218,
your Haflinger pic is a good sample for the capability of these vehicles.
