Home at last!
A mere 18 months after purchase, my Foden 4350 tractor unit finally arrived at my yard.
Originating in the North East of England, the lorry had seen service with a showman in the Nottingham area before passing to a small haulier in Derbyshire. Nicknamed "Slippy", the Foden is fitted with a Cummins E320 14-litre engine mated to a 13-speed Fuller gearbox......the power and torque it puts down on the road gave it its name! Yesterdays very wet conditions and the amount of hill climbing we had to do certainly educated the driver to keep a light foot on the throttle!!
