What you do is take a truck and a back hoe put them in a blender and this this what you get.

Auction says it's a Freightliner, but it sure looks like a Unimog. Perhaps they were marketed to the US Military as a Freight-ticker since they are a division of DaimlerChrysler. Hard to tell when that was bought, but perhaps Mercedes owner Freightliner at the time.

Also the attachments are normal for a Unimog as it was originally designed as a farm tractor.

For those wondering, Freightliner and MB is the same company. The SEE stands for Small Emplacement Excavator. Its a wicked cool truck that should go very high. Not very many of them in civilian hands. This can be cmpared to an entrenching tool. Which would you rather dig your emplacement with?

For anybody interested in reading up on them; the operator's manual, TM9-2420-224-10 is in the tech library. And, for what it's worth, I've got the hard copy version of the 24P manual for same.

Getting parts for it is no fun. Takes a long time, even in the Army....

And pricey too. Just got a quote from MB/Freightliner for a bare Unimog 406 cab... 17,000 euro. But it DOES come with the windshield and back glass.
