EVENTS I ATTENDED

UVC Summer Meeting August 14-16, 2026

We were guests at the UVC meeting in Verl, at the Ost Westfalenhalle, on a very beautiful site with shady spots under the trees. The Unimog enthusiasm was palpable among young and old; the youngest enjoyed the children’s program to the fullest, and the community exchanged ideas in many technical discussions and presentations.

MB-trac Unimog Meeting in Dohren August 22-23, 2026

Dohren is developing into a mecca for the MB-trac community. 220 MB-tracs, some looking like new, and 140 Unimogs were on display at this meeting. There was a dealer mile, equipment exhibition, and field demonstrations, as well as a PTO dynamometer. Food and drink were also provided, so participants’ conversations extended late into the night, and everyone wants to return in two years. Our Club Unimog and the Club Shop were also on site.

Annual Meeting Wilbertoord September 11-13, 2026

This year’s annual meeting took us to Wilbertoord. Together with the “Peeltuffers,” a Dutch club for historic tractors that organizes the “Wilbertoord Pakt Uut” event, we experienced Dutch hospitality. There was much to see and experience on site: a Unimog museum with many vehicles on display, a demonstration area, numerous dealers with spare parts, and historic vehicles of other brands alongside MB-trac and Unimog. Excitement was provided by competitions like Hobby-Pulling & Cross, where tractors have to pull a heavy braking wagon. An artificial course invited visitors to put their vehicle, whether on 2 or 4 wheels, through its paces. Regional products were offered at a market. But there was also something for the ears: whether rock, pop, or brass music, many bands played live on various stages. We thank all the diligent helpers on site, before and after the event, who made this occasion unforgettable.

YoungTimer Field Days Nordhorn September 18-20, 2026

For the past 4 years, the Youngtimer Meeting in Nordhorn has been open not only to Unimog and MB-trac but to all field cultivation vehicles. This year, too, the event was very well attended. The site offered a very large exhibition area and an off-road course around it. Since the harvest was largely completed and field demonstrations were thus somewhat reduced, the off-road track, where visitors could ride along in the Club Unimog, was a welcome addition. All in all, a successful event with high visitor interest.
