Unimog U400 Series Truck with Schmidt Tarron Plow & Stratus Spreader

Schmidt is a company that specialise in snow clearance equipment with a varied product range covering all snow clearance eventualities, from truck mounted plows and spreaders to snow blowers and sweeper brooms. NZG has modelled the Tarron plow and Stratus spreader in 1:50th scale as the perfect accessories for the Unimog 430 carrier.

The Tarron plow is a detachable unit that connects to the front plate of the U430. The frame construction allows for left and right angle adjustment although the height adjustment of the full sized unit is only simulated on the model.

The frame has modelled stabiliser wheels with a plastic upper guard and a pair of safety marker boards simulating flags on the upper corners.

At the rear, the Stratos spreader has a detachable top cover revealing the internal structure of the hopper with a rear chute and rotary discharge head all faithfully modelled.

Added detailing includes the folding access ladder. True to the original, a mixture of metal and plastic components make up the spreader assembly with the blue and orange colours contrasting well.
