The 1928 turntable will be available for a short while - get your order in!
-
Kilworths are top people! Mark Parnham and team are the guys for BCS stuff.
-
I'll pass your comments onwards to the relevant people. Thanks for posting. What's yours called BTW?
-
Fancy a chip dinner one day? We could muse over the merits of Brit tin versus the rest! Then settle on GreenMech as THE firm with manufacturing pedigree and history....
-
Buy British! The GreenMech sub 750 range is the range to be with. Plus good backup and support from a range of dealers with a large manufacturer with 50+ years of developing and manufacturing pedigree to boot!

His "not guilty" plea is fair sickening! It will cost the state thousands and not increase his punishment - sorry, rehabilitation, by a worthwhile measure. Surely it is high time that the system took the stance that "we" cannot afford this and his family, extended and distant, should pay for the financial cost of his crimes, by any means possible. Just to that he is from Winco is no excuse, his poor upbringing neither, him not benefitting from a decent education is his fault not ours or the states, his drug or drink problem is his and not mine, and his inability to hold down a job is still no excuse to steal. In fact, there isn't one....... Yet those decent people amongst us still pay for their unsociable acts AND let the bleeding hearted sorts make excuses for these scum! Stop them from procreating and give them many years hard labour at the expense of their relatives!!!

Come on Dean! John is waiting for an answer!!!!

Mini loaders- Kangs, Boxer, Sherpa and roll bars?
PeteB replied to Rhystree's topic in Large equipment
Simple rule - if it has a seat, it has to have a Roll bar and belt. If you stand on it - nowt is needed. -
It was Mr Blair his self! He also ran about in a Luton bodied van with a tail lift, the van carried the necessary tools and a load of bins to facilitate most jobs. Where he acquired the bins is open to conjecture...... Go on Steve, post a picture!
-
Welcome to the club Mick. What's yours called?
-
Party!?! More like a tea dance or shuffle.....
-
Sssh, thing thing best left to the imagination.....wouldn't lend it out!
-
I'd like to echo both these thoughts. Doug Bennet - Top Man, ditto Liz, Fran, Weaner, Big Stu, Big Al and all the others who worked and helped out over the years in the shop or in the tent at shows. Was reminiscing at the weekend about the kerfuffle at Lockerbie and talking about the little shop/unit up the hill....Very best wishes for the future to you all. Use them or loose them is a good mantra too.
-
I had one as a GreenMech tow tug. Did about 140k miles in three years and I found it pleasant enough company. Main dealer parts and servicing was ruinous! Had the TD4 BMW unit and would have another too.
-
A benefit of being in the club, being able to drink several pints of Stella, but with the maturity not to turn into a plonker or wife beater! And as we get up in the night to empty anyhow, more wee doesn't matter!
-
When Morton said that they don't turn, he meant steer. We looked into this and, on balance, stayed with the leg as it became a brake. Fair play to you for doing something to your CS that you are comfortable with.
-
We still make the CM220MT55! But like Dan says, the 1928 has a wider feed which gives brashy stuff more room. But the 220 is still a good, solid, robust machine that has survived well!
-
Is this the photo that led to the front cover of Men, Mud and Machines? Dan, I did sling some photographs up some time ago - I'll try and find them later! Far from complete and now needs a new cab (1 available) too. My son wants me to finish it but I don't have the time or need nowadays.
-
Try Nigel at N J Trees in Stoke for the low down. He ran one for a while.... I always thought that for smaller stuff like brash etc, they were very effective. Not for big nogs or heavily contaminated stuff, but ideal for what you have by the sounds of it. As quite as the tractor that powers it really. There is a worthy supplier of these things based in Staffordshire, close to Stoke, I'll try to get the details for you.
-
An MK4X4, complete with rear mounted Atlas crane and mid mounted winch. It is a half finished project- and has been for 20 years! It is probably covered in brambles at my mates place by now. I really must rescue it a park it where it is in constant view, it might progress then. I did offer it as a project a while ago but the only takers were of the joshing urine type!
-
Give Rosemary or Dan a call at Green plant. Their banner is above.
-
The Timberwolf, like the GreenMech are designed to fit into the sub 750kg market, Forst isn't. If you need to get a new machine and you are confined to sub 750 then the Forst isn't going to get invited to the party, but GreenMech and Timberwolf will be there! I think that Dave from Landforce is trying to decide if making a 6" machine that weighs more than 750 is a good idea.
-
Sorry Dan, I don't know of any to hire in that area.
-
Sound advice Ian!
-
I still remember the old phone numbers - 4 digit are code and 4 digit number were usual! My mother used to answer the phone "Sambrook 838!" when they lived near Market Drayton and that was in the mid -80's My word, but we have come on apace haven't we.....
