Title: Efficient vegetation management with the Unimog U 430

Tree surgery, ground clearance services and a black, 220 kW (299 hp) powerhouse – that is the formula behind the success of brothers Brett and Ryan Skelton and their company Greenworx, based in England. To make their vegetation management business more cost-effective, they have purchased a Mercedes-Benz Unimog U 430. "We were using an agricultural tractor," says Brett Skelton, "but the Unimog needs less fuel. And with a top speed of over 80 km/h, it's a big advantage on the road, even with a heavily laden low-loader trailer. It means we get to our job sites faster now," added the satisfied new Unimog owner.
