I'm sorry, but I don't know more about this wheeled loader.
When I mademy military service at the Bundeswehr in 1990/91, my division didn't had such vehicles. The "Pioniere", the guys withe the heavy tools for building bridges and so on, had them.
I was in an air defense-regiment. We had the "Gepard"-tanks and several "Fuchs"-armoured transporters.
Other vehicles were the Unimogs -even some of the late 50ies-, Mercedes 1017-trucks, some old MAN 5-tons-trucks and a plenty of VW T3-transporters and DoKa's.
This was my job: driving and cleaning VW T3's, also cleaning the floors, and even sleeping the day long....
You see, I didn't belong to the real active soldiers.
In our car-fleet we had several VW Iltis, VW Golf II Diesel, Mercedes G (new in 1990), our chief had an faboulous 70hp-Opel Rekord (facelifted 1983+ -model) and the General a 1983 Audi 100 with a also faboulous 75 hp-engine (but in glossy NATO-olive). And the Sanitary-platoon had still some 1975 VW 1200 in use.
I would have liked it more, if I could have been at the "Oldtimer-regiment" in Meppen, close to the Dutch border. A friend has been there in 1988/89. For any unknown reason the had a plenty of old cars there - even two K 70 have existed there! Very rare cars at the Bundeswehr.
His Major drove a 1972 VW 1600, and they were the last German regiment, which had Borgward-trucks in use...
Otherwise: Meppen is at the "ass of the world", so my regiment just 20 km away from home was better.
