  2. I'd not be doing my job if I didn't say GREENMECH...... Several models to choose from from the fixed base ArbTrak150 (6x9) up to the SafeTrac 1928 (7.5x11) Matt Textor at T H White is the nearest with a depot at Timsbury. Matts mobile is 07733 306992.
  3. Alan at Slant Rigg in Bideford on Avon does the GreenMech stuff and also did a bit for the Arbtalk raffle. He addded the winners names o the front as his contribution. I had a couple of quality hoodies done by him for myself....very god to deal with a handles quite a range of stuff - a sample of which can be seen in his catalogue on his web site.

    What is the difference between roast beef and pea soup? Anyone can roast beef....
  7. A manufacturer wants his dealerships to do as much as he can to sell and support his range of machinery. If that dealer or importer starts to undermine him by selling something else in preference to the original item then it is natural to cease the flow of goods and place those with someone else. Redwood split away from the original importer, Wessex, some years ago and since they assembled their own machine, they have been focusing on their own brand, it would be natural for Jensen to be upset at the situation. I would think that there is an official "Trade Out" period where agreements and debts would have to be honoured and then whole goods, ie machinery, would flow through the new people. Parts supply may be under negotiation and could be removed from Redwood altogether. The last thing Jensen would like is for the users to get let down so they will make sure that genuine parts at genuine prices would be available from the new people. Machinery prices may go down, or up, but they will be still available through the new people. I am surprised this did not happen earlier to be honest. They new people will not connected, in any way, to Redwood I have been informed.
  8. Twas I! Handsome git aren't I!!! No Ian, fixed base with decent enough clearance. The 1928 SafeTrac will continue for good while yet as the ultimate one....
  9. Mascus, Agriaffaires and Plant trader are a couple on tinternet. Caveat Emptor.......
  10. Phone RT400, Kev is actually in Redditch! knows the area too....
  11. Those quick releases might work! Buy a pair, make your own skewer rod to length and try it! We are too busy to take on more development jobs tbh, even supposedly small ones. Come on the factory tour in April to see it in flow!
  12. I'll put it to the developers. But as the original is perfectly adequate with its three position chute, I doubt it would be worth doing the mods and the subsequent increase in costs/benefit.... Going from square to round isn't easily kept smooth and so on....
  13. Phone Joe Turner Equipment, they are bound to know some people. They are in the area at Kings Coughton and into flails etc.
  14. Got the pics Timon, ta. Kev, come down and leave after the lunch, we won't talk about you, much....
  15. Nice one! We put ours on the belt cover as that has to come off first on ours....

    I can turn over with the light on too....
  17. If you are already a GreenMech customer, or maybe just thinking of buying a wood chipper, or interested in what it takes to build a machine from start to finish, then this is an opportunity not to be missed. On Tuesday 21st April 2015, GreenMech will be once again, opening the doors of their headquarters and manufacturing facility in Alcester, Warwickshire. Places are limited so if we need to, another day will be added. It’s the perfect opportunity to find out what goes into making our award-winning machines just that – AWARD WINNING! Starting at 10.00am on the day you’ll get a good chance to have a look around the factory; meet the GreenMech production team; and see our manufacturing process at first hand. We have expanded even more during the last 12 months to try to cope with the demand for quality, British manufactured machinery. There’ll be product demonstrations of our wood chippers in action and a chance to get some hands on experience – so please bring your gloves and helmet! That's if there is any decent brash left! "Bring your own" may be required. We aim to make it a relaxed and informal day, with a buffet lunch laid on too, and getting you away by 3.00pm. Availability is limited so email Hazel Honeybourne at [email protected] today with your name and email address, or contact her on 01789 761926. Tell her at the time if you have any special dietary requirements and if you need to stay overnight she will be able to supply local hotel details.
  18. Daft as it sounds, if you can remove it and touch any of the rotating parts (like why!?!) It has to have an automatic interlocking interface.
  19. What would you like to see? Factory tour on soon! Dates to come tomorrow.....

    I got hit in the mouth by a good looking girl last night in a lift. She walked in and smiled, I looked at her chest and she said "please press one", so I did and then the trouble started!
  21. We do offer some quality finance packages. Ask your local dealer for a quote, I don't do free but do do flexible terms or low rates as standard. I always say that the is never a free dinner - you pay for it somewhere along the way.
  22. I am in the club by a couple of years and we lost my Granddad on christmas eve - he was twice my age! and one of his sisters died at twice my age plus 4! I'm only half way through my life!!!! Get On and Enjoy it!!!! despite the hearing, eyesite, bladder, bowels, sleep patterns and everything that gets thrown at you as you progress.....
