Marshall 100-125

In the autumn of 1984 the six-cylinder Marshall 100 was introduced, using the same Leyland 6/98 engine as the six-cylinder Leyland tractors. The engine developed 103.5 hp. A little later that same year the turbocharged Marshall 115 was launched, its horsepower rating matching its model designation. Both engines were equipped with a viscous fan. The 100 was also available as a two-wheel-drive model, while the 115 was only offered in four-wheel drive. In 1988 the 125 was introduced to replace the 115.

The gearbox offered 20 forward and 9 reverse gears, of which 8 forward and 4 reverse were in the so-called creep range. Even in the lowest gear the maximum speed was 1.6 km/h. The transmission, made by ZF, was largely the same as in the IH 1255/1455. The clutch was 13 inches in diameter. The cab, made by Sekura and called the Explorer, was almost identical to those in the smaller models, though the interior trim had been slightly upgraded. The new technology feature was an electric lift. Lifting capacity was 4.5 tonnes and feedback was through the draft arms. The front driveline shaft for four-wheel drive was on the left side. A trailer brake valve was standard equipment.

Production of the Marshall 100 continued until 1989, as did that of the smaller Marshalls. The 115 and 125 remained rare. After Leyland engines went out of production, there were plans to continue these models with Perkins engines, but that project never progressed beyond the prototype stage.
