Shame that this forum says Pinzgauers.. It really should be labeled Steyr-Puch!

Being that i don't have control over posting images as they all get shuffled into a mish-mash thumbnail viewer series, i am breaking this post into two.. I've got a couple Haflingers. The first one here is a 1968 long wheel base. A bit more HP and seating for 4.. I drive the heck out of this thing around town. Other than being awesome offroad (stay away with sand with the little pizza cutter tires btw), it is always a snap to park in town. I used to think i got a lot of positive comments with my old mog, well haffies take the cake. If you want to be an ambassador of cute military vehicles.. this is your meal ticket.

The second part of my post, only because i wanted to break up photos. This is a poly cab haflinger that i recently acquired. it came setup from the factory with Bosch hydraulics and a serious snow plow. I'm really looking forward to playing with this one more in the winter months. I'm including shots of it with and without the plow, along with the hydraulic disconnects. It only took about 5 minutes to unbolt the plow. We will see if i can get that sucker back on in under 30 once the snow starts coming again

That thing looks very handy ! Would love to have one on big jobsites.

Looks like an Army Cushman to me. I'll stick to Jeeps and Mules.

You have got quite an interesting collection of MV's. I wish I lived closer so I could see them in action

Man.. that is like comparing a tricycle to a harley! Haflingers sport portal axles, independant suspension, on the fly 4wd, selectable front and rear lockers. Incredibly capable offroad and 50 state street legal.

picture is a haffy + various other euro stuff at the nwmf 07

Okay, maybe I was unfair. Let me recant my previous statement, and make this one.

The Haflinger is the perfect street-legal pickup for a Prius owner.

Good luck if you get into an accident with a large vehicle, or a truck, on the highway. I'll keep my deuce, thanks.

Hmm prius is a better comparison at least that cushman. I'll take whatever concessions that i can!

As far as highway travel, The only way you'll see the haflinger is if it's in tow. I only use it on surface streets/ in town. The same places you'll get run over as a pedestrian

A "highway mode" shot for maddawg and if i can't get outta the way of a deuce, there is something wrong!

Don't abuse my older little cousin, even if he is a runt. Haffies do more per pound (Kg) than ANY other human toting MV on the planet!
