Unimog 411

The Unimog 411 was the last of the original small Unimogs. Daimler-Benz built 39,581 of them at the Gaggenau plant between August 1956 and October 1974 as an implement carrier, agricultural tractor and general work machine, on a ladder frame with four equally sized wheels. Derived from the 401, it came in twelve models with wheelbases of 1,720, 2,120 and 2,570 mm, as an open convertible, as a drive head or with a closed cab made by Westfalia. Its small passenger car diesel began at 30 hp and later reached 34 hp, which some users found too weak, so Daimler-Benz added the larger Unimog 406 in 1963 and the Unimog 421 in 1966, and the 421 eventually outsold it. Four revisions are told apart, the original 411, 411a, 411b and 411c, and Curtiss-Wright sold it in the United States from the late 1950s under the Mercedes-Benz name.
