Rumour has it that the cost of shipping vehicles to Minto and out to other sites is eating into AFM's profits so it is likely that future sales will be at the AFM site closest to the current storage.

From a different source, there is a suggestion that the cost of moving the non-operational vehicles from Bandiana etc is greater than the units are making at auction, so they may start scrapping them in situ.

I don't know if AFM have a site in or near Bandiana, so far they have all been coming to Minto.

I have picked up and stored a number of trailers from Minto for a WA bidder. I have no problem doing it for other WA members, but I won't do the mechanical inspection, you'd have to contract someone like Barefoot Dave to do that.

How is it costing so much? Surely your ADF has loads of grunts that could be doing something...

Makes sense sending them down to NSW, to send them back to QLD is a bit silly.

How do people make the softop look new again? most look very faded and light in colour..

If it is still structurally ok, then this stuff would do it, but it doesn't come in the right colours:

Is the supply of unimogs drying up? I've been trying to buy one for the last three auctions but it seems there are limited trucks being put up each month..?

Have they got the replacements for the Mogs yet?
We've heard lots about the G Wagons. What is replacing the Mogs and the Macks?

In the last 12 months, I've seen quite a few army Scania 4x4 trucks in the same configuration as the mogs, not sure if these are the replacements?
