<< < (2/3) > >>

LandRoger:
Having not driven a 101 -i cant argue about any issues they may have good or bad, i was only repeating what i have been told about them,i dont think that anything is squaddie proof :roll: ,i must say that the lobster mobile looks very immpresive and up to the job , 8)  8)

landroverkeith:
:wink:  go for the best of both worlds... buy one of each then sell the 101 to me cheep  8)  hehe

winchman:
Must go for the MOG.
How many 101s do you see working the forests?
My brother once towed a 40 ton trailer with a mog, it was slow but did it.
Not cheap but hold the price well

Steve ray:
I've driven plenty of tractors (farmers son) and 4x4's over the years, probably have to say that for shear industrial strength, then the UNIMOG would win - but probably at a price, but is likely to be more reliable.

As for 101 FC's - never driven one, but been out several times on Cannock Chase with one - cracking motor. Can't see how they'd tip up easily though - all the weight on them is low down in the chassis and runnign gear.

freeagent:
if he's got plenty of money, its got to be a Mog, but financially, the sky is the limit, up to 100K for a new one, or less than 1k for a 'project'....

they are the real deal, but very expensive to repair when they go wrong..

a 101 would work, but if he's serious about moving up to a bigger truck, he needs to go Mog.

my dads next door neighbour has one, and its used daily to tow an 16T 360 digger on a 40" trailer... Mogs come in different sizes, from little ones, not much bigger than a 101, to absolute monsters, like our mate runs, which require an HGV licence (weighs 6T unladen)
