2 models in this series
Mercedes-Benz 425 – Unimog U 120 and U 1500 from Gaggenau: a six-cylinder of 5,675 cm³, 87.8 to 110 kW (120 to 150 hp), 5,235 to 5,940 kg, torque 358 to 461 Nm, portal axles for high ground clearance
The Unimog has been built by Mercedes-Benz (Daimler-Benz) mainly at the Gaggenau plant since the early 1950s and is used as a universal implement carrier for agriculture, municipal service and forestry. The type number 425 denotes a medium Unimog series, within which the model designations U 120 and U 1500 give the approximate power class in hp. Characteristic of the Unimog are the portal axles that give high ground clearance, along with power take-offs and hydraulic couplings at front and rear for interchangeable implements.

The register lists 2 versions with 87.8 to 110 kW (120 to 150 hp) from six-cylinder engines of 5,675 cm³, unladen weights of 5,235 to 5,940 kg, lengths of 4,750 to 4,870 mm, widths of 2,300 to 2,320 mm and heights of 2,640 to 2,685 mm; torque ranges from 358 to 461 Nm at rated speeds of 2,550 to 2,600 rpm.
Unlike pure farm tractors, a Unimog of this class is built to switch between fieldwork, road transport and implement-carrier duty, and is accordingly used as much by farmers as by municipalities and public works depots for winter service, mowing and transport work.
When buying used, check the condition of the portal axles and their seals, the operation of the front and rear PTO, the tightness of the multi-couplings for the hydraulics, rust on the frame and cab, and the tyres; parts continue to be supplied through the Mercedes-Benz and Unimog network.
