Which tracked chippers will fit in an 8ft box trailer
PeteB replied to Kinghawko's topic in Large equipment
Very sound advice, the chipper is the tool that matters. The trailer is a method of getting it there! -
What's the rub with not and car tax? Anyone run old stuff for fun? The tax is due on my 1948 hot rod and told it needs an MOT!

Oh Johnny, you are a comedian! A real wag😝 -
The Sycamore trees roadside up by British Sugar in Newark look poor but I suspect Sooty Bark. But Chestnut trees seem to turning already.
-
Give Ash a ring, the number is above! He does look after kit well.....
-
I have seen a bunch of poorly looking Horse Chestnut locally but some right healthy sorts elsewhere. Rempstone Crossroads look like their season is done already! What are they like near you?
-
Good on you for posting Ash, am I right in thinking that you plan to get a hire fleet going too?
-
Yes, it is 23hp, but we also have to quote the value of sound power so as to remind people of the need to wear earmuffs to protect their hearing. I suffer from Tinnitus, ringing in the ears, from years of not protecting mine when using saws and other noisy kit!

What do you think it should say? Thanks for the heads up!
-
We will all have to adjust to life without a sub 750kg at the right price if you want something like 35hp diesel. Exhaust emissions will mean that that engine will be very expensive and complicated with electronics, DPF and exhausts....All manufacturers will have available a 26hp Kubota or petrol. The 130 is a blinding piece of kit and we also do a 150 with 37hp EFI petrol too. Same chassis, axle etc, so built to last and built to work.

Got the windows back, the security switch was down so I'm a bit embarrased about that. But yes, we have had our issues with two of the GreenMech Rangers, one had oil pump failure but he stopped in time - Ford paid for that. Mine lunched on the turbo and Ford paid for most of that, they and the dealer paid for a DPF in lieu of the complete shambles that there service department made of the deal. Even the girl from the Ford Relationship Centre was loosing faith in them! While it is true that they have been okay apart from these two events, I would hesitate to get another Ford because the service departments leave a lot to be desired. Ford Bristol Street in Redditch to be precise. Not over helpful at Sandicliffe in Loughborough and have been let down by Shepshed Ford who previously should a willingness to be helpful.

Put that down as a deposit and vat and get a new one with warranty! Low cost finance is available at the moment. GreenMech can subsidise this down further subject to conditions. A new 130 could be had for around £10k plus vat.
-
Three of my electric windows stopped working on Friday! Amongst other stuff, I'm not over impressed with the car and I find that the dealer isn't worth a mention except a bad one!
-
Nice work with the PR, stands it well.
-
In the eighties, I brought the Sun for the threpunney bits. No red top carried news and hasn't done since! Each carried their sponsor's view and politics and you were daft to believe that diatribe! The Mail was truly and is still, awful!
-
My income has also not gone up relatively in 10 years. My mortgage is cheaper which helps balance the books! My employer has been very good to me over the years so on balance, I'm okay.
-
Microsoft has pulled the plug on Windows phones apparently!

I'm thinking that it is around £400 po we machine average. Some more and some less, we have a good selection but cannot get exact match to some. I remember a customer wanted a Daimler-Benz blue and wexwere course enough not to notice but it was slightly darker.
-
GreenMech will be at the Norfolk Show next week to support Bartram Mowers, our dealer for East Anglia. Julian Cullis will be there to answer any questions that you have and will get a couple of machines to the showground too.

Congratulations Grey Git of Dryad Arbor-Artists

Good on you both for the competition and winning! -
Was in the factory late tonight and spotted these!
-
I seem to remember that Stuart did have some issues which were resolved, he admitted that some were as a result of their maintanence regime too. But, all was good in the end and he tells me that he will have another soon.
-
Good to meet you and your family today Shaun, thanks for the tea - it was just how I like it! Good luck with the repair and new bearings, feel free to phone for reassurance if you need it. Cheers.

The battery should have a code on the label or it may be listed in your Ops manual.

Did Jase sort it for you? I'll give him a stiff talking to if he ain't!
