Mercedes Unimog FLU419 SEE tractor walkthrough and operation video

[@leejackson5220]

I was in Germany when they first were feild tested. I worked in maintenance and this equipment was one of the best things running. You can remove the back attachment in about 20 minutes and the front in about 10 mnutes. The entire system is designed with open centered valves to allow the to sit in place off the equipment and if someone moved the valves the attachment would not move at all. Safety built in to keep people safe. One thing that I found was to have plenty of fuel filters on hand, always changing them.

[@hotroddude6551]

Awesome to see. I have thousands of hours operating a SEE and know them from front to back, top to bottom. It was always considered a POS but it did its job very well. Except the heater. It sucked. Imagine being in one with a passenger have full gear on, 2 M16s and an M60 inside the cab.

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Full house!

[@wes11bravo]

I'd like to personally thank you and your SEE operator brothers for digging our foxholes and Ranger Graves down at DZ Normandy! Saved us hours of work!!

[@alanjacobson6673]

Do you need a CDL type license to drive there

[@Canis_Lupus_Rex]

I was a SEE operator and M60 gunner, stuck the M60 in a tool compartment when traveling. Nice thing about it was my fighting position was the first one dug

[@michaelcignarella8159]

You just described the lucky ones that were 62J's ...... My heater worked well ..... But weren't much room for two people with sandbags on the floor, 2 A1's , etc .... But I loved my S.E.E. and she loved me ..... I'd take that S.T. any day of the week best piece of eqpt 62J or 62E ....

[@nicolaslaurenzano7067]

Really complete showing all tasks, thanks for your time w the explanation !!!

[@danielsestina6457]

I was a combat engineer in Germany in the 40th engineers, and also in Fort Campbell with the 101st, and a reserve unit in Lexington Kentucky also. I drove SEE trucks in both Iraq and Afghanistan. Well done this is something I always wanted to have

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

​@@C_CEQUIPMENTwhat are your thoughts on making one of these into an SUV??

[@joethompson3350]

Man I would love to have one of these on my property to clean up after hurricanes, but like everything else it takes money and on disability is hard to come up with that kind of money. I'm giving 6.5 acres and a home for disabled to ST Judes children's hospital for the kids to enjoy the gulf coast .hope many children can have some fun here .love you guys and hope to see many more videos from yall

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Thanks 👍

[@Heavywall70]

As an Army Grunt, I used to LOVE seein’ the SEE pull up when we were digging in. Those engineers could dig a whole platoon in in an hour. If I had to dig the fighting position in by hand it was an all day affair.

[@hotroddude6551]

Dug in many of y'all. I was digging in an MP unit once and one of them asked me if I could dig the grenade sump too. Use your imagination on what was said to him. LOL

[@Heavywall70]

@@hotroddude6551 lol . Some folks wouldn’t be happy if ya hung em with a new rope. But seriously, I was a machine gunner and it was such a relief to have y’all just dig the T . I could dig the tables and the sumps with an e-tool in about an hour, including sandbagging the tables. If I ever meet you I’ll give you a bag of M&M and the Tabasco from my mre cause you sound like a good guy.

[@MissionaryForMexico]

You did a fantastic job sir. I remember this equipment when I was stationed in Hawaii back in the mid 80's. This was the equipment that was used on base all the time! And that baby can travel at 50 mph!

[@george8873]

Thanks for the demonstration video. Was really curious about them. Never even knew they existed until you showed them in your channel. Looks like very capable little machines.

[@glenniosbaker5193]

Worked on these when I was in the Army as a mechanic. When they work they are great, but when they don't they can be a pain!

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Yes for sure

[@a.mccomb3296]

Anything German

[@davidbillings615]

I was in an Engineer Battalion back in 1990 when our unit got some and never did see them used. It was nice to see how they work.

[@ruffnarbobnar5960]

i can tell you after using one its a horrid machine, Was in an engineer battalion back in 1999 anytime we would go for training we would just leave them at the umcp and not use them

[@ronandy8681]

I remember being in the army back in the early 90s digging M-60 Foxhole pits in the Kentucky dirt with ruts everywhere and a Uni Mogg coming over and finishing them up for us , damn what a relief that was as it was 104° that day and 90% humidity !!

[@Huskiedrive361]

Someone did an awesome job of filming and editing your video. Sound, camera, and drone footage all blended together to make a really cool video. Great information on a unique piece of equipment too. Thanks Clint!

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Thanks It was just me and Kevin flying a drone

[@Huskiedrive361]

Keep up the good work!

[@vaughnhill3437]

Small town m.u.d.'s would be perfect for one of those little things. You can move fast enough to get around town and be able to use it for all sorts of maintenance and repairs. The jackhammer and other hand tools are just a bonus

[@marionstorm9004]

Loader Operator Tip: Ideally, the bottom of the loader bucket should just slide along flat between un-disturbed dirt and your waste pile. Use the bottom and heel of the loader bucket to control the aggressiveness of the loader when digging or backfilling. Lip above heel causes bucket to raise above grade when going forward and bucket lip below heel lets the bucket descend deeper. Most industrial loaders will have a bucket level indicator to assist the operator to control his grade.

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Yep

[@dennispalmer6007]

Back in the 80’s my company wanted to build a new 5 bay bus garage so the owner bought a used case 580B and I ended up being the operator. I dug foundations , septic bed , fuel tanks( back when it wasn’t such a hassle to bury them) water and utility lines plus drive and parking. It had the 3 lever controls with foot swing. The boom rested in the over centre position but there wasn’t a lock. When swinging with that one you needed to operate one of the other functions at the same time as swing to slow it down for smoother swing. Got pretty comfortable operating it, but joy sticks would have been nice.That came with the 580 C.

[@prinzeugenvansovoyen732]

newer Unimogs with this setup have a hydraulic suspension lock for when you are digging or pushing dirt so you dont dig in jumps and rits from the suspension giving - also they have now both on the PTO pump so front loader is almost janky fast

[@michaelcignarella8159]

Every 62 Juliet .......... Did he just say he sells them ......... Hmmmmm ........... LOL....... IDK maybe it's just me ....... I freaking LOVED this piece of equipment .... Always made sure to dot every i and cross every T during PMCS ...... She was a good girl !!

[@koskey06]

This seems like the perfect homestead all in one tool! I mean with this alone you could do just about everything you would ever need

[@douglasnoble9056]

I haven't seen one of those things work since I was in Germany.. I always heard the engineers hated those things. Great video!

[@petek6522]

Very nice demonstration, the back digs like construction equipment and the front pushes like a farm tractor great alternative to a tractor

[@royordway9157]

Nice demonstration. When I was a young kid, I had a Matchbox car collection like all boys in the 60s. One of my favorites was a Unimog. I have seen them in use in videos from Europe with all kinds of cool stuff hooked up to them.

[@philstreeter9703]

What a great machine. Very practical. I'm sure you could see a boat load of them once people see what you can do with them. Great video!

[@TamerOfTheStrange]

See quite a few of them here in the UK. Quite popular with tree surgeons.

[@nate1479]

Wow i could work all day in that Unimog, i Love it, very handy, its like one big tool, what a transformer!

[@prinzeugenvansovoyen732]

4:39 the awesome thing abaut such a hydraulic saw is you can use it under water -- like cut up a tree the beavers felled or cut the remaining stilts from a old deck underwater even with the mud - also good for cutting ice and trees halfway covered in mud like during a landslide our fire brigade got such hydraulic saw kits on their newer model Jeeps - ofc you can also power shears and pry tools to open crashed cars, get pinched people out - just like that with a hose roll and a disconnectable pump that engages with a belt tentoner like a ride on lanwmower blade

[@doclull1989]

Thanks for the video Clint. You did a better job on it than I could have.

[@gene5022]

Good vibes, watch from pushing in from lot to shop, complete restoration and know working and road test. Thank you.😊

[@jondavidmcnabb]

If I was a property management company, I would definitely want one of these in my arsenal of equipment. Fully kitted out these seem super handy. You add a finger attachment to the backhoe and you have a very capable tree clearing solution.

[@planeiron241]

yep with the hyd it is a very handy pc of equip and you can travel pretty good

[@billvandorn5332]

Most impressive! Thanks for the demo and may you be continually blessed with all the good that you do

Where I live in the UK, the local council runs a couple of these with wood chippers on the back. No need to tow one and through put is awesome. If you had a plat of land one of these would be ideal as you can get all types of accessories for them.

[@dimievers5573]

the G on the gear stick stands for "gelande"german for terrain or offroad if you will .its a ultra low crawl gear with max torque at low speeds. the porsche 959 rally car also had such gear to enable it to take off on loose or muddy terrain without digging itself in instantly

[@OUKRH5]

Cool video never knew they where sold with case backhoe boom overseas, in Austria and Germany those aimed at construction companies with Schaeff Backactor. But they were not sucessful, for once tehre are no backhoes arround here, we run smaller wheeled diggers like atlas and such ever since. On the other hand compared to a backhoe moving the machhine when trenching would be even harder to do a lot of digging performance...

now imagine being able to test one of the newer versions of the unimog, they really are quite a good utility truck, kind of also why they are still in use in the EU, they just do about everything needed for utility work and such. even tho they arent the fastest, they are made for work

[@regsparkes6507]

I have seen one of these Case equipped Unimogs before when they were on a near by Case Equipment Dealer's lot. ( This was back in the mid 70's, when Case had them all painted up in Case colors and like you mentioned even back then, there was no doubt that what you were seeing was a Case. This is the first time that I have seen one in demonstration though. These are one heck of a machine, to be sure.
