shredder written off

[taffupatree]

heard something shocking today. one of our gardini shredders self destructed last week when i was off.apparently from what i could gather.some of the hammers came off and shot through the casing. through the top,out of the bottom and of course out of the shoot. quite likely the machine is a write-off,wouldn't be so bad but its less than 9 mnths old:scared1:

anybody had sommat similar?

Unless its been miss used it should be covered by warranty.

im not sure what they put through there to be honest with you. am going to find out tho. wouldnt suprise me if they put through sommat they shouldnt have

suprised it's lasted 9 months! Our Gandini shreader was rubbish from day 1 everytime it left the yard a fitter went with waiting for the inevitable breakdown. I wish ours had self destructed many moons before our gaffer finally saw sense and got shot of it!

That is such a fitting Avatar Dave.......................it's sooooooooo you!

apparently a bearing collapsed after 80hrs work. caused the hammers to make contact and shear off. there was a highways crew working not 30 yrds away from where the hammers got fired too......absoloutly shat themselves as i would of:mad1:
