boosts power, performance&profitability
It's going to be one of those years. Everything seeming to work against you making any money at all. Everything except the Leyland 32 ton Beaver tractor.
Although we say it ourselves, its the sort of vehicle that'll make you money out of any kind of year. It's got the power, the performance, the economy and reliability to add up to maximum productivity with minimum running costs.
Empty advertising claims? Not at all! Just look at the facts.
Powering the tractor is the turbocharged 690 diesel. 240bhp at 2200rev/min gives the 32 ton Beaver a power-to-weight ratio of around 8bhp per ton. Long-life durability is built-in with the use of advanced alloys where wear is greatest. The proven design of the normally-aspirated 680 and Leyland's 30 years of turbocharging experience, makes the 690 as reliable as you'll ever need.
The engine drives through a semi-automatic, swear and tear-proof 10-speed gearbox. And the whole thing is held together on a tough chassis. There's also hub-reduction axles, powerful fail-safe brakes, easy-riding suspension and an improved Ergomatic Cab.
So this year, make it a profitable year. With Leyland's Beaver.
