I'd say to support your local dealer, then, in a time of need, there is an incentive to help you out!

Spares for a vermeer 620i and maintainance advice
PeteB replied to swinny's topic in Maintenance help
As said in the other post, using an imported machine in the UK means that it has to adhere to our legislation - and that includes as a trailer and a chipper. It might not be worth importing as the compliance costs may outweigh its usable value! -
Does look a chunk of change but they cost a superb amount when new! It is in good nick too. I like it!
-
Had to replace AT tyres for MOT - they had done close to 100k tbh. Replaced them with a couple of AT3 and had vile and sometimes scary tramline issues! Anyone else had similar issues?
-
If you want to have a go with a GreenMech 150p, let me know and I'll bring one out! Not a problem!
-
Took a walk around the other parts of the factory that we have expanded into since the new building went up and we had their floor space! These where kicking about.
-
We have found that the fuel seeps past the rings and fills the sump up if the solenoid does not seal properly!
-
A bit more info would be good! Is it pull start? Can you pull it over? Is it key start and battery okay? We will try to help but info is good!
-
Might, might not! Depends on how much you give me! Why three anyway?
-
The best place would be your local GreenMech dealer!

Just an update on this. I took it a small Ford place that do MOT and have serviced it before. They found a break in the loom to a wheel sensor and cleaned the sensors and the "mega expensive injector fault" was just a ECU reboot with the latest software. All done with the MOT in a day. So it appear that I got misinformation from the Ford Commercial dealer.....

Sturdy rig! Good luck with the sale.

One last reduction before I hang my harness up
PeteB replied to Steve Bullman's topic in General chat
Good luck with the next phase! Hope you enjoy it as much as the last. Best wishes! -
I'd rather see POTUS interviewed by the CIA, FBI and Police about racism, fraud, bigotry, tax evasion and sexual harassment as well as being ridiculed for his hair!
-
I could not watch anything with Morgan in it, a loathsome toad of the highest purity and colour! I think that the current POTUS and his clan are truly revolting too! He shouldn't be allowed out of his country IMO.

The bars have to be a contrasting colour,and stickers applied. If the body is red then the bars are yellow.

I spotted this while giving a Hungarian customer a walk around the factory. Looks like two yellow and on black being done.

My Ranger put on EML and ABS/ESB lights so wouldn't MOT! Booked it in and used the spare Ranger, MOT due on that and it failed with a busted spring. True to form, idiots at Ford in Loughborough delivered a spring without a bush, they couldn't be bothered to deliver bush until next day and even then asked if I would wait!!! Paul Roberts in the garage sorted it out in time for me to swap over to mine which was parked due to warning of imminent destruction and big bills! Mine goes in and the very expensive ABS repair ("we'll have to replace the module") and is broken speed sensor, the "injection issue which will be a grand plus easy!", was a program update! Big Ford dealership don't get my vote! Passed the MOT but asked to get two tyres sorted. Thanks Shepshed Ford! Sandicliffe in Loughborough and Bristol Street in Redditch aren't worth going to!

GreenMech! Owner will take 3g if I remember.

Check our website! One on there! Buy the original CS100! Cheeky buggers at a cheap copy had our tech drawings on their webpage!!
-
Go for the GM (okay, I am biased, but it will hold value and be worth something in the future).
-
Anyone had it done? How does it fair? What sort of cost involved? Who did it?

As Ash says! 130 is the same as the 150 bar the engines and bonnet! The EFI unit is computer controlled so will start pretty instantly, no choke, will handle old fuel better, will alter it's settings for altitude and is more economical than the carb version. I did hear that they can tuned be to a higher output too! Although, I think is more than just meddling with a laptop! The engine guy calls them Vanguard, the homeowner range of engines are called Briggs and Stratton. The commercial Vanguard are as good as the Honda range but the old B&S tag sticks unfairly.

We use a couple of Sprinter beavertails to deliver and collect wood chippers. If I was needing a chip truck, I'd go for it. But, don't write off getting an O licence and getting something that can carry!
