Customising? What are you doing to it? A few machines a year might get "left" in the corner of the yard, but hardly any get brojen for parts as those ones are generally worn out or sold for scrap as they are damaged or burnt out wrecks I would have thought.

Cambrian would support you if you needed it. Go for the GreenMech!
-
Get the GreenMech!!! The reason that we went with Kubota was to do with Global Supply - we deliver worldwide and in terms of support and supply, Kubota are okay. Other engines were good too, but in some markets our buying and support terms and conditions did not support the huyers enough.

Balmers at Burnley is the nearest GreenMech dealer! The instructions are freely available from us if you want to get them done at an engineering company of your choice.

We have recently changed a couple of the GreenMech tow tugs. Big Al, our Scottish rep, changed his Mazda BT50 crewcab for a Ranger and I was asked handle the sale of the old truck. I had intended to put adverts up on Arbtrader, GreenMech's web site and Autotrader this evening whilst doing supper, sorting out kids and taking photos of a wood chipper in the dark which is fitted with a lighting tower. I did the advert on Autotrader and had sold it before I had confirmation that the advert was live! I wished I had put more on it now!

Ditto the above! I would vote in a government who would put up taxes and build horrible prisons, that show no mercy, allow no "human rights" and deliver long, harsh penalties to scum who treat law abiding people with such contempt! I would also charge the inmates family for their board and lodgings so that they take responsibility too!!!

Your comments are a bit harsh, further qualification would be appreciated by us all! Please explain why the are plasticky and from what experience do you believe the disc blades are a joke!?! in Will's case, Greenmech have appointed Hunts to look after the Isle of Wight, you could not get closer than that!

A chap near to me is down sizing - pm your number over and I'll put you two together. He has CS100 for his private garden and is selling up.

Go to our website, go to products, click on a machine then look for the manuals download. Do that, then look through it for the correct page. Failing that, cal 01789 400044, when prompted, press 3 and ask Hazel to email it to you. Cheers.

Hey Nick! I was trying a 130 with some dealer staff recently. What a bloody good machine they are for the money, serious value! Welcome to the club!
-
I would advise taking them to a GreenMech dealer but the instructions are available as a pdf for you to take to an engineering company if that is your thing.
-
When you have as many machines as we have in circulation, it would be impossible to service and supply every owner and keep on top of the accounts. Hence we took the decision to set up a dealership network to look after the sales, service and supply chain. Some people get on with it, others don't. We recently did take on Orange Plant to represent us in these areas; Dumfries and Galloway, Cumbria, Northumberland, North and East Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire, Cheshire, North Wales and North Staffordshire, The Wirral and Merseyside. If you operate in these areas, please contact them, otherwise, please contact your dealer listed on our wrb site.

Forst bearings twice the size of GreenMech bearings!?! Hmmm....Who said that? I wonder what that was about.... I would always prefer to sell a machine on IT'S merits and the merits of those that your are buying it from.
-
Don't see why not Dean, there is a reason that it is seen more often than Bandit. The SafeTrac is an extremely safe platform for getting a bloody good chipper across varied terrain, or quickly across smooth terrain. Ian, I'll get a a 130 petrol on the car next chip day and you can chuck some stuff through that!
-
What is wrong with Overland? Try the factory or a german distributor or the lot in Ireland.
-
They are still brought into the country by Predator in Henly on Thames. Often did creep, finding neutral was difficult. On mod I did come across was to move the brake levers from pointing down to pointing backwards and havin the cable come through the top! Less chance of them getting damaged then. Out of interest, I'll ask the facrory if we have any spares at all keft on the shelf!
-
Thorne Engineers, Alan Mason, Earborist, Arbtrader to name a few. Some woodchipper dealers whether they be GreenMech, Timberwolf, Jensen, Bandit etc are another source. Some have used machines in stock as well as selling new kit. If buying a used machine, please check the provenance before you hand over the wedge. I know of at least one stolen GreenMech being offered for sale right now.

Leave it as garden art! Spalted beech does look good but, looking at the form of the butt, she isnt good structurally inside. Getting her out and to the mill would outweigh her value too. Probably best for firewood or small scale turners and so on once dried!
-
Rich, sorry you cannot get. Please let the office know - your pkace can be filled. Come up another time.
-
You dont have to come with the local chap! Come on your own, bring someone with you, anyone with a desire to see how stuff is made will do.....email in to [email protected]
-
Just a reminder that this is by invitation only! We are having to consider further days as there are a lot of subscribers but we cannot cater for "walk-ins" due to H&SE considerations.

Actually, is "self employed" a defence or an excuse to use a non-compliant peice of kit? Could I use a chainsaw without a chain brake or AV cage and claim on my insurance for white finger after knowing it was potentially bad for me? From the height of infeed, it may well be compliant in that measure, but, it may be short of an emergency stop.

The settings in the "no stress" box can be adjusted, as can the roller speed. Sometimes the settings can be reset to a different setting to suit your own preference! Talk to your supplier. Winches can fitted in a cradle fitted to the chassis rails that also carry the fuel tank. Retrofitting is possible, again talk to your supplier if you need one. Welcome to the family!

Exenco, brought into the country by Jim Wilkie. He later imported the Schiesling range and rebranded them as Premier. The Exenco was a cheap macine alongside other imported machines from Quichchip and Turner International. The engine was a Ford D Series and the worked well enough providing the blades were sharp. It probably does comply with reach distances but I wouldn't want to use it! Nice find, anyone else got old pictures or pictures of the old kit?

Could have fooled me!
