This set of photos are from Prichett Canyon near Moab. This is a tough trail and has no bypasses for the most intense obstacles. On this run, Kelvin Kurkowski, a farmer from Nebraska, came with his Unimog model 1700 that he uses daily on the farm. This truck is hugh, and has hydraulics front and rear, a 3 point hitch on the back and an implement fixture on the front. For this trail, we had 3 versions of Unimogs: 900, 1300 and 1700. It rained while we were on the trail. Since the trail is also the creek, that heightened our caution due to the possibility of a flash flood. But, it did not rain much.
1300 and 1700.
3 point hitch on the back.
A comparison of 1300, 1700 and 900 models.
Kelvin attacks a waterfall with the 1700.
Another hole. Note the front implement attachment.
900, 1300 and 1700 mogs. Note tire size on 1700.
Easily handles big obstacles, even with the impliment attachment.
