Love at first sight.

Unimog U 530 with full agricultural equipment becomes rental vehicle.

A Unimog to fall in love with: Michael Zuther, a rental company for mobile machinery, has added a top-equipped Mercedes-Benz Unimog U 530 to his fleet. The black all-rounder is not only a technical masterpiece, but also a real eye-catcher – rented out by a man who lives and breathes agricultural machinery.

Equipment: the whole package.

For Michael Zuther from Dannenberg in eastern Lower Saxony, it was love at first sight: When his trusted Mercedes-Benz Unimog customer advisor pulled up with his black Agrar Unimog U 530 a while ago, Zuther knew this was exactly what he needed. “The vehicle has everything – except for a steerable rear axle. Apart from that, it has everything. Really everything!” says Zuther, as if he couldn't even believe it himself.

After the test drive, the owner of agricultural machinery rental company was hooked. “But: it cost a pretty penny,” Zuther winced. He and his new love didn't come together at first.

Thanks to Zetros.

However, when a Mercedes-Benz Zetros enthusiast bought one of his three Zetros (converted by Bruhns in Karstädt into an agricultural truck known as the SECUTOR) at a “reasonable” price, it was all systems go for adding this vehicle to the fleet of his company WendenTEC.

Front and rear power lifts, front and rear PTO shafts, high-performance load-sensing hydraulic system, tyre pressure control system, 'VarioPower' hydrostatic drive integrated in the 8-speed automatic transmission, rear camera… “The list of my special equipment is so long that the Unimog's vehicle registration document takes up three pages for all the entries. That doesn't often happen,” smiles Michael Zuther.

The vehicle has everything.

Perfect for connoisseurs.

Above all, the truck fifth-wheel coupling, which can be replaced with a K150 agricultural fifth-wheel coupling if necessary, proves that the Unimog U 530 is a well-thought-out concept for Zuther’s machine rental fleet. Not to forget the hydraulic tipping box that can be set up in just a few simple steps.

“My company is my hobby, and as a trained agricultural machine mechanic and enthusiast of historic vehicles, it gives me all the more pleasure to rent out the new all-rounder to my customers,” explains Zuther. His previous professional experience in grain technology has given him an excellent understanding of the needs of farmers.

And anyone who has the opportunity to optimise their processes and capture peaks – for example during harvesting – with state-of-the-art equipment will be delighted by this multifunctional Unimog from WendenTEC – on a daily or weekly basis. As a gentleman, Michael Zuther has added white trim stripes on the wings to his black treasure. “It just looks better.” Who could resist this vehicle?
