The Schulz family optimizes their farm business with the Unimog U 535.

And the former LPG has long since become a real family business – the third largest in Mecklenburg–West Pomerania, affectionately known as “Meck-Pomm”. His daughter Christine joined the company and is the company’s Managing Director. After 12 years with the German Armed Forces, it was a matter of course for her to contribute her expertise as a supply professional to her parents’ business. Her knowledge, which she most recently gained from an air transport squadron, is now of course worth its weight in gold. „As a soldier, I enjoyed driving the Unimog the most. I was impressed by this vehicle from day one,“ enthuses Christine Schulz.

Logistics with the Unimog: simply ideal.

For Christine, it went without saying that she would optimise the farm’s operational logistics. „The conventional agricultural tractors are not designed for driving long stretches on country roads. This costs tyre tread and fuel. With the Unimog, we can now get the feed much more efficiently.“ The cows produce no less than 25 thousand litres of milk – every day. With the assistance of Annaburger’s 2- and 3-axle trailers, tens of tonnes of fresh feed and silage can be collected every day.

Not to mention supplying the two biogas plants, which the Schulz family also operates. The new Unimog U 535 with 345 hp in green is a real enrichment for the farm. It is equipped with agricultural tyres, a tyre pressure control system and a specially manufactured grain trough – that even protrudes beyond the cab. For safety reasons, two rotating beacons were on the roof. An optimal configuration for cattle farming right up there in the northeast – between Rostock and Stralsund.
