Hi Jim, Balmers in Burnley are the official GreenMech dealer, however, we have always accepted blades for sharpening at the factory. You send them in and we will crack test them, sharpen the set to a balance and get them back for a reasonable fee. Failing that, blades sharpening instructions are free if you want a local engineering firm to do it!

Blimey! Feed at idle, but stop at speed? Try reversing the connections! Has someone been messing with the machine or did it just happen?

Good result.... Shame that they will get off with a stern ticking off and let go only if they promise not to do it again!

As he says... Get the serial number and ring the original supplier/manufacturer/importer. Don't be afraid to walk away. I recently had to tell a chap who brought one cheap that it was cheap for a reason, it was someone else's!

My ex said she likes a man with a big dick and loads of money! I told her she was wrong! She needs a tighter fanny and to get a job!

Top Truck! My 06 averaged around 35mpg, did 266,000 miles as a GreenMech tow tug and after 5 and half years we sold it to Cyprus for £3,500 plus vat! 120k on BFGs wasnt bad either!

Cheers for the info, I'll look later.

Never seen any of them from start to finish. TBH, the genre doesn't light my fire. One "Star" film I did enjoy and found it emotional and thought provoking was about a spaceship that carried plants, trees and stuff from a dead earth. I seem to remember that the humans on board left it with a small robot to care for the plants forevermore!

If Action Man was still popular, the "do gooders" would want it banned as it promoted war or racism or some such!

Good graphics on the Mitz, what will she carry?

I got the XP and it works well enough although it has frozen a couple times restarted itself. Buggered if I can find a good case for it mind - every rack is iphone or samsung!

When I ran Barrowcliffs in the '80s and '90s we had over 60 Stihl bits stolen in a three year period. In the 17/18 years with them, I had to replace100s of stolen things from trucks to workshop tools, generators to strimmers! I reckon I had 10x080 or 880s! Non of it was ever recovered..... In all that time, I only got offered 1 hooky saw and I told him to go before I called the bill. punishment does not fit the crime imo. Not enough effort is made to secure a conviction nor educate people that crime does not pay or is acceptable behaviour. Just my opinion.

Publicly admitting that he allows his woman to have a point of view is inappropriate in a man's forum and is a kick in the nuts! He'll be telling us next that he does the drying up!

Rob!?! That is a terrible joke!

What a damn good idea!

White for me!

We have a policy that any theft is sent as a notification to every GreenMech dealer. They very rarely turn up. One did recently when the new owner took it for repair. His cheap purchase was sent to auction and he lost his money! Please, please, please, check the history and only buy a genuine machine. Buyers feed this trade and, in my opinion, are as low as those who stole it!

Powerline Services (MLJ) Ltd of Shropshire report that their QuadChip was stolen from premises that hey use in the Cirwencester area. This was a slightly non standard machine in that the discharge chute was different from the usual chute. Any news please contact Ben Jones on 01568 612315 or 07790 294301

Dave, can I come and see your porkers and have a chat about it? The other half is in Askham and was thinking about keeping pigs but the attachment issues stopped that idea....

When do you find time to earn your keep Dean? Good luck with it anyhow! Fancy an untidy Bedford 4x4 project next? It has mid mounted winch and Atlas crane...

Saloon car racing for me, V8 supercars is brilliant. F1 is too processional now.

Another odd phrase.... "Halfway up, down the next aisle"
