Unimog U400 Series Truck with Mulag MKM700 Mower
Presented here is the Mercedes Benz Unimog U430 with a Mulag MKM700 combination mower in 1:50th scale from NZG. The Mulag MKM 700 combination mower is the perfect companion for the 400 series Unimog, powered from the vehicle’s front PTO and capable of mowing verges at the sides of highways with the boom mounted cutter head and low mounted verge cutter.
NZG has done a great job in the engineering of the mower with a fully functional boom that features a full range of movement coupled with a detailed cutter head with roller and main cutter bar with simulated protective skirting.

The entire unit can be easily detached from the vehicle and the rear chassis has a counterweight ballast assembly fitted to keep the vehicle balanced.

The verge cutter is again mounted to a pivoting arm with height and angular adjustment allowing it to simulate an authentic range of movement.
When not in use, the boom can be rotated to the rear out of the way. One slight issue with the mower is that if the boom is rotated towards the rear, the unit comes away from the hitch and falls off. A more secure way of securing the attachment may have been better.
