It's a crying shame mate when I was in the army in 1998 those fodens looked absolutely one heck of a recovery truck & placed next to a challenger 2 tank looked fantastic but I always thought the army had wasted there talents,YOU on the other hand have done what it was bulit for,,, fantastic job ken😉👌
Just found your channel Ken. It was the ex military Foden that hooked me. Then I realised that we both come from the North East 😁. I’ve got a few mates who used to use those Fodens when they were in the Territorials. They loved them. They said if you couldn’t get it out with the Foden, you wouldn’t get it out 😁 Has the Foden got the Rolls Royce 290 and a Fuller 9 or 13 speed box? Keep up the great work. Got a sub from me
Considering it was being static pulled why oh why did the driver not drop that tag axle to lower the ground pressure going on each wheel ? next time your are in this position ask the driver to lower the tag axle it will make your whole job less difficult as it will free roll without the tires sinking quite as much.
Great result with all the mudflaps still on, Solid wagon doing what it was built for. Cheers

Thanks Lee 👍👍
Nice picture of the grass.
Thanks Peter pleased you liked it, was a wet one tho
I think that driver was optimistic going in with only single drive, probably alright until he dropped off! Love the Foden though.
Thanks Kevin yea driver said he'd get stuck but they had to get the cabins dropped off in that spot, it was their priority
What a machine!
Love that Foden
Thanks Harry, was a wet windy job that one

When a customer has you convert an 8x2 into an 8xzero...
FODEN!
8x2 with big crane ? useless off road . Foden all good 👍
Science says the moon is slowly getting further and further away.
With a long enough cable, I bet that thing could winch it back.
