Tractorman810 Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 rare little number the 6150, 1 down this way on dartmoor, but not many others, was always seen as a bit under powered to most farmers, most from memory got turbo'd, the short wheelbase made them good for yard work and the turbo gave it a bit more guts for feild work looks good mate, yet another use for a siku chassis eh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
