I have used GreenMechs for many years, and have just ordered an EC150TMP to go on our compact tractor. Looked at the whole range (and other makes) at Saltex this year and i have to say for innovation, ease of use and maintenance the Green Mech is streets ahead! Plus these machines are british built and are substantially cheaper than the nearest competitors. The quad is too big for what I need, but it is very impressive. The disc blades are a fantastic idea, and last for ages. I would recommend Green Mech machines to anyone, however I'm no expert although I have been in the game for 22 years and used loads of machines.

we have one, had it a year now, i maintain it, Chips like a demon no mistake, build quality is not to great, but keeping under the magic 750kg is not easy, (had ours weighed apparently its over 750) . the fuel and oil tanks are not sealed properly and leak fluid, the blades are a little tricky to change needed my full arsenal of Snap On to remove them easily. the fly wheel is of a complecated design meaning a torque wrench or even 1/2 tools wont fit to do the nuts, so have to guess it and use 3/8 which is too small. The blades wont be able to be sharpened that many times until the shoulder will be ground. but only the outer tends only needed to be changed, which is handy! The e-stop button has no gaurding and is exposed to damage, there are lots of good ideas but the design is pony. Ive expressed the problems with mine to the factory on more than on occasion - no reply. Wouldnt buy another and we have 10 chippers.

Just to add to that the large plastic cover that go's over the tanks at the rear dosent fit too well, ours fell off while driving on Thurdays, Luckily someone who knew us was following and picked it up and dropped it back to the yard, it should be on hindges.
