Turner re-badged them in the 80s later to become Greenmech.

Almost correct. Turners originally imported them from Italy and rebadged them as Turner 70, 80 whatever. Graham Satchwell left taking the deal with him and we decided to design our own machine. The first few were based around the Gandini but we soon changed all that about. Graham Satchwell sells the Gandini range under the name Chippers International and can be found at Snitterfield near Stratford on Avon.

You just have to ask yourself what the Italians know about designing industrial machinery. I used a 10" one once, not good. Completely designed without any thought whatsoever for the person who might use or service it. A tip that i think works is, if you find a piece of profesional machinery which your not sure about, find out which country its made in and then think about how good that country's military hardware is. Works for me, although there are exceptions!
