I have one of these, they are pretty reliable and easy to repair. My brother use it to collect fire logs in the forest and I to go to the off-road rallies. The pleasure to have a classic vehicle, but useful too.
Yep, 6x6 Pinzgauers are awsome beasts offroad, espesially in wood and mountain territories. I had the pleasure to hitch a ride several times when I did my Army service here in Austria. The boys pushed them very hard up and downhill, pretty much like in this video I have found: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ouy27giXutg.html Sometimes the Pinz fell to the side, no big deal - get it back on it's tires somehow and continue. Sometimes they crashed, no big deal either in those days. Easy to repair even in the field as long as you got spare parts if necessary. They are originally Austrian cars, but were sold to many foreign armys in Europe, or manufactured abroad under licence.
The constructor of Pinzgauer was Mr. Ledwinka jr. His father was a main constructor in Tatra. One of his products was also a Tatra T 97 which Ferdinand Porsche copied to made VW beattle
and don´t forget: this car is 50 yeaers old! there is only: 6x6, no other help! i MUST drive this things in the austrian army, from 88-91! greetings from austria!
@@ringo196 and you are wrong. Johann Puch was born in 1862 in Sakušak (then Austrian Empire, today Slovenia). The Puch factory is located in Graz (Austria). It was part of the Steyr-Daimler-Puch conglomerate, which was based in Steyr (also Austria).
Dunno but I know an Austrian started WWll and an Austro-Hungarian- Serbian started WW1 and got their bottoms smacked hard and that led to borders being changed! And a lot of Germany is in Poland to
Nicely done!! Love my Pinz. The articulation of the portal half axles is mind blowing, especially on the 712. It makes me wish I got the 712 over my 710.
@danmcelroy6584 I don't know what your life situation is, not gonna ask. But at 52.... there's plenty room for growth. Especially if it means living the dream
@danmcelroy6584 in any case... I'm gonna have faith that you will have yours. If not, then, at the very least, be able to ride around in one. I will get one for myself and dedicate it to you.
@@pinzgauerbelgium remove the armour and replace with thinner mild steel.....its mostly bolt on ......the main issue is a lot of the weight is up front....
Such a different type of machine with all independent suspension. Not saying this is bad at all, but you would think solid axles would be better though.
Awhile back I decided I was going to buy a 712 Pinz great vehicles and extremely good offroad. I looked for a few months and found a 712 in an ambulance config and it looked good, I didnt get around to calling and the next month it was gone. Well the month after that its back in the publication for sale same number as before, same thing I didnt call right away and the next month it was gone again, oh well there will be another one. The next month its back in the publication for sale and it says no dreamers and no low ballers need call, I thought that kind of weird. Well I call the number and a kind of grumpy guy answers the phone and I asked him about the Pinz and he still had it and said it was in great shape, I think he was asking 14K for it not to bad, well I asked him if he would take an offer, and after much grumbling he finally said he would listen, I offered him 13K for the truck thinking he would counter back at 13,500 ? All he said was you read my add right about no dreamers and hung up on me! What a prick and if he would have been decent I would have likely paid his asking price, his loss and ended up buying a Unimog!
بنز جاور اللمانيه فعلان قويه وهيه تعمل بدون ما قد استخدمناها في القوات لكن لاها عيوب صوط عالي يمكن العدو من سماع المحرك وهيه مقبله ما يمكن العدو من استهدافاها بلقصف حسب نظريات الحرب هههه
Это бездорожье разве? ))) У нас в России шоссе так выглядят )) Чел на Пинцгауэре вообще ездить не умеет. Как машину 6х6 можно заставить буксовать всеми колёсами на почти ровном месте? Тут талант должен быть 🤡🤡🤡
