Great photo Steve, interesting to see this is a fl4 'c' with flat loader arms instead of the earlier tubular ones. Also like the ripper tines stowed in the counterweight. Any more pics?

Chaseside started to import fl4 & fl6s in the late 60s.they came over as skid units and chaseside made all the frames and hydraulics.The biggest problem with the Fiats was the low ground clearance.At the time they were a cheap machine and sold quite well.
