RHM AGRICULTURE LTD is giving an extended operating run to the Rolls-Royce Eagle diesel engine range.
It has purchased another eight engines — four 29OLs and four 265Ls — to add to those already in service in the group fleet. The company, which has been operating Rolls-Royce engines in Fodens carrying liquid fertiliser for the last three years, wants to introduce more.
The four 290 engines will power Seddon Atkinson 401 tractive units, which will be on bulk grain and fertiliser work, while the four 265s are being fitted to Leyland Constructors.
The 401s are entering the fleet with Rawlings James and Phillips of Caine, Wiltshire, and the Christopher Hill Group of Poole, Dorset, two of RHM Agriculture's operating companies. The Constructors which will be delivered by late Autumn as replacements for smaller vehicles, are for the Christopher Hill Group.
