Two Corvus Terrain 4x4 UTVs for Nick Skelton
ick Skelton CBE , the
N equestrian and former show jumper , has taken delivery of two Corvus Terrain DX4 PRO EPS 4x4 utility vehicles in green livery . Nick , who won his team Olympic gold medal in 2012 and Individual Olympic gold in 2016 , aged 58 at his seventh Olympic Games , bought the vehicles for his Alcester farm . The property is the home of Team Skelton , which comprises Nick ’ s son ’ s Dan Skelton Racing team , and is set across two yards , Lodge Hill and Badbury Hill Barn . Dan Skelton trains racehorses which have enjoyed outstanding success at the highest level in National Hunt racing .
“ We have had numerous 4x4 utility vehicles ,” says Nick , “ and when they came up for review , we tried a number of UTVs . We had not heard of Corvus , so we had one on test loan on the suggestion of Murray Boss at Ace ATV , who has been our dealer for many years . Lots of owners come to the yards and we use the 4x4s to ferry them up and down the gallops as well as pulling chain harrows . They are good for all sorts of uses . We like the feeling of them , they are bigger than the others we considered and feel more robust .”
The Terrain is powered by a normally aspirated , inline 3-cylinder 993cc Yanmar Diesel engine , which gives excellent fuel efficiency and range . The above mentioned models are Stage V emission compliant , as an homologated diesel tractor to T1b tractor regulation and have a top speed of 40mph / 65kp / h . Corvus is building the Terrain for work primarily in agriculture , livestock , forestry , turf care and construction , but they are highly adaptable vehicles ready for any demanding off-road workout .
