hi
My dad is keen on getting a unimog for using on the farm, were is the best place to pick them up (we live on the west coast of scotland Oban) and what sort of price are they. would be keen to do one up and a 3 point linkage would be perfect.
any advice would be great.
Cheers Cam

your best bet for farm work is a U900 or 406
these are the best for farm work, short wheel base, diesel engine, get one with a 3 way tipper body, and they are common for fitting hydraulic linkages and 3 way hitches,
best bet for you,
a decent one with everything fitted would set you back around £7000 ish. tatty ones for rebuild around £3000
good luck

For farm work and a 3 point hitch the 406 is the way to go. As far as buying one, I recommend going a bit further afield. www.ebay.de German Ebay is the place to get a good Mog on the cheap. You can be there and back in a weekend easy, the selectionis far better, and the cost saving will be substantial. I picked my 404 up near Dortmund for €3,000 and it was in immaculate shape. Just my 2 bits worth.
