Here is N606 when i drove it, we got them in the summer of 1998, i think we had about 14 of them, a lot of the drivers couldnt get on with them because of the twin splitter gearbox but i thought they were ok. This photo was taken at Gaskins Farm nr Faversham in Kent, when i was loading bulk bins going to Billingshurst on its first day with us.I think they were exported when we finished with them.
