I thought this would be kind of a fun thread. Neat old trucks, some mogs...but should have an artistic edge...

Cool array of implements on these early trucks - simple but useful. Perhaps even affordable.
This last winch was commonly used in vineyards. Parked on a pathway that traversed the slope, the cable would be run down the hill, and attached to a type of cart. About the size of a go kart frame, the worker would sit on it and be hauled up the hill
between the rows as he tended to the grapevines.
The cart, or sled, could be equipped with cultivating tines.
The winch was often mounted amidship so that the UNIMOG driver could operate it while behind the wheel. There was an extended handle on the winch, and he could engage it by hanging his arm out of the window.
There is a thread on them somewhere.
You are right - there is a simplicity to a lot of the early attachments that matches the lack of complexity in the earliest UNIMOGs . The good old days, I think.

I need a remote controlled version on one of the mogs, it would be perfect for mowing a few sections of my lawn.
Like most things in Africa it’s in need of some love!
Great bit of detective workđź‘Ťđź‘Ť
