it’s a nice colour scheme, electro hydraulic lift tag was great in the winter or the woods it certainly got me out of trouble the few times i got stuck. ok the ride wasnt as comfortable as it could have been but they were a dammed good work horse, was that the 400 or the 420 142m you had
It was a 420 and painted by Dave Harris that was working for Stuart at the time I did a bit of subbing for Stuart. Know what mean with the tag very good for low loader work as well .
