DODGE 'KEW FARGO'

TIPPER

I don't think it works so well as a tipper truck as it does as a livestock transporter - the balance is wrong, it's too long and low. However it has all the style and fine workmanship of the other version. The livestock transporter used the back body off the Beast Carrier, here we have the Farm Tipper Trailer painted blue.

This example is a wreck however, would never pass an MOT, if you ask me the chassis is rotten and about to break behind the cab somewhere. I'd really like a better one but they don't turn up that often.
