The 10th GreenMech ever made is to be restored after it was discovered in the barn of the original owner. It is being restored as part of the celebrations of 20 years of GreenMech and 50 years of machinery manufacturing on the same site by the Turner Family. Tony Turner, the Chairman of GreenMech, sold this machine to John Meickle of John Meikle ( Contractors) Ltd from Neilston, near Glasgow back in December 1995. It is still with them although an engine disaster a few years ago meant that it was parked up in the barn where it remained until a phone call revealed that it is still there. It will soon be collected and returned to GreenMech where it will be restored - trying to keep to original spec where possible. Photographs will be uploaded as the work progresses but these are the type of brochures that were available for distribution at that time. img-509121826-0001.pdf img-509121037-0001.pdf

Bagguley, we last met and spoke when the Blue Machine was in Ross. I'm the rep from GreenMech.... Sorry for the derail! Brilliant cakes......

Hey Mike, love the tree across the lines! Say "Hi" to you Dad for me and Happy 40th whenever it was.

Nice work Pete, I always found that commercial bodybuilders built trucks for builders and did not understand tree people.

I had a TD4 Commercial, did over 140k in under 3 years without issues until the clutch went then some dodgy repair did a drive shaft and we got rid.

I do wish that who ever loaded and strapped it would learn what to do with excess strapping! It offends my OCD!!!

My local dealer, Heritage, on the Aylestone Road in Leicester were spot on. Fred Heritage himself rang me thank me for the 5 years of high miles that my Rodeo did. Nowt disastrous really happened to cause concern.......

You mean - low £30'sk, about 2200kg so towable behind most light trucks, 50hp, massive gradeability, built in Britain, disc blades, legendary support, and a handsome bugger as a midland rep!?!

I wrote a "thanks" email to a garage that helped me out recently. They deserved it and after seeing comments in here about staff at GreenMech, I appreciate the value that a few words can have. Well done Sir! Is the kindred spirit going go get a phone call?

Who uses them and a rough idea of cost? Upsides and downsides?

I just had to explain Google search and Google images to my Mum..... "Just type in anything and it will find it", I say. "How about a nice cream pie?" She says.... "Except that?", Says I.....

I have a pack of cards which have a slight taper, the old "pick a card" routine still works with the unknowing!

New gears can be cut or you might be lucky and get them cut using a water jet or some such. Take it to bits and check it out!

Jensen woodchippers utilise a gearbox to drive their infeed. One motor into the gearbox and a pair of shafts to drive the rollers. Some need spray grease daily, others had uj's that need a squirt, but all gearboxes need oil. Let that go through a damaged seal and they don't appreciate running dry! They are dear!

At this rate, the eldest could end being the one I brought back in 1997 and now owned by T Mousley & Sons in Claverdon!

Looks just like the 1st ex Mrs PeteB! Complete with the thumb and fingers as if a bowling ball was being picked up!

I got caught having a pee in the local swimming pool today! The Lifeguard shouted so loud, I nearly fell in!

There is a specific section relating to Timberwolf. Post your question there and the TW tech guys get sent a notification. They will then answer your query.....

Loved the period! I had a couple of Austin Princess' that I raced at a small Banger circuit. Cannot remember when I last saw a wedge! Had a Lancia Beta HPE for a "daily" after a couple of years with a MK1 RS2000 which had been a race car! Frankie Goes To Holywood Not the Nine O'clock News Blackadder Paul Hogan Show and, it has to be said, being young, being fit, healthy and strong, cash on the hip, no mobile phone!

Chippers have a different mechanical process and associated costs to a shredder and the two, essentially, do completely different types of material from each other. Shredders tend to absorb horse power doing bigger brashy material than a chipper but can do more of the rubbish that you would want to put through a chipper because of damaging your blades. What exactly are you trying to process and what are you trying to achieve?
