Oh I do like a good Perkins , I had toyed with the idea of a phaser but the Cummins won out as it sounds as well as it pullsAs long as you have 3.54 diffs and the four speed LT95 high ratio transfer gears 45mph is a gentle chugging pootle speed. After all the Perkins are a low speed torque monster, not suited to high rpm work at all. That's why I like them so, and hate TD5's so much, as they only any good with plenty of rpm. But I don't expect anyone else to want a perkins, it just a dogged fascination I have with them, if it works well in tractors, diggers, lorries and a thousand other heavy things it's my kind of engine.
