What about being accosted by a woodchipper salesman?
-
Coffee advert? I'd give that a stir!

They are only doing a job and everyone has a right to work. As a salesman, I cold call people, both on the phone and in person when I can. It can be good fun, productive and interesting. But I can appreciate it can be a nuisance, an warranted intrusion that is annoying. But that is part of our job. Personally, I wish them a good day and politely so no thanks.

Homegriwn Timber in the Crawley area have some big kit, try them....

Thought that I'd bump this as today is the day!

Chris at Oxdale has always struck me as a decent chap. As him if he can give you a couple of names as referals on his products.

Oil burner = diesel. goes well and doesn't appear to use oil, mistreated from new with hardly a unbruised panel and now using aftermarket wheels as too many of the original ones burst from being curbed or potholes! This issue with the lights is almost like they are supposed to do it! Bizarre!

Thanks for the offer of the book, this is the oil burner, is that covered in the book too? thanks for the supportive words Ian, it is a gentleman's express and not a coffin dodgers hearse!

I ran a GreenMech on my Mog, it worked well in 1000 speed, kept the noise and fuel consumption down too! Send me a pm if you want to try one.

I lent my GreenMech tow tug to Al Thomson whilst his was repaired/replaced and I'm in a borrowed MG Rover 75 Estate. It appears to have peculiar electrical issue in that when the indicators cancel/switch off, the headlights flash on, then drop down and rise up in two stages then they switch off! The dash lights also flash once as well! This happens when the lights are on or off! Any clue what is going off?

We hsve a 1928 demo machine coming off productioj in the very near future! Tempted?

The wench's family veg plot has been devastated by caterpillars! Anyone else suffering the same?

Last two posts were spot on!

<p>Hey Steve! Hope you and yours are well....I recently started a news thread about Godfrey's open day next week. Any sign of it being added? Cheers...</p>

I have met older people in the trade, and as previously said, they have a better role in lower height! Mentoring, supervising, bossing and being "there" for the less abled or experienced. My uncle, Dave Barrowcliff worked until in his late 50's and even though it was on the ground, was a very valuable member to any team. Even after "retirement" he did some logs for a couple of people snd sundry back handers around the village! Change roles but keep doing it!

GreenMech are getting a couple of new "reps express/tow tugs" soon. They chose the new style Ford Ranger and I wondered how many are out there and what people's experiences are?
-
Smart one Sir!
-
Lunch time! I'll call you later!
-
Generally, they carry bugger all! Dragging a chipper across a wet/muddy field ain't going to happen either. Okay on icy or snowy surfaces though. Good luck Ben.

The splines are a softer steel than the "male" shaft in the motor so thatvthey tajecthe wear. Cut out the old one and weld in a new female. Put it in a lathe and rotate to check for true, if it is slightly out, then hit the end plate opposite side of the lean to pull it upright! Just as Dan says!
-
Thanks for the kind words Ian. You buying the chips on friday? I'm not far away from you on that day!

Godfrey's, the GreenMech dealer for the South East of England are having an open day at their Hailsham branch on the 9th October. It is based around their Arb and Forestry kit and I'm told that everything from log splitters, chainsaws, GreenMech woodchippers is available for demo! Timed at 09:00 to 19:00, food and drinks will be provided. GreenMech are sending the Wagon and Drag loaded with demo kit, so you will have the choice of chippers! Martin Lucas, the Sales Director and Julian Cullis the Area Rep will be on hand as well as the chaps from Godfrey's. Godfreys Lower Dicker Hailsham East Sussex BN27 4BG

Having fun with hired cars! Drive it like you stole it!

I may well be wrong, but surely a Laimet would heed more than 26? Especially when doing thicker material as they don't have roller infeed but do have corkscrew feed!

Is that the non compliant machine on ebay? Runaway quick and save your money and embarrassment!
