First roll out at the island. https://youtu.be/2BfBC00cH40 Walk around after washing the spreaded salt from the autobahn. Yes, it´s cold in Germany.:wink:8-) https://youtu.be/ZMsXAnexyNg Vote for the MAN KAT1 5ton mil glw this month.:naner:

Our 1977 MAN 5ton glw is equipped with a 6 ton hydraulik winch. The winch is driven by PTO and is frame mounted in front of the rear axel. You can work with front cable outlet or you go out at the rear roller frame. Edit: Pics

We want to get rid of the convoy lights and the siren. They interfere with the gunners place and the rear once are installed at the top engine hood. Perhaps we will find another place for a convoy light. Ordered a gun ring today.;)
