  1. Let me know of the serial number and I'll check the provenance if you are at all unsure. If you feel you need to talk, call me on 07774 282481. Cheers.
  2. A couple of years ago, a GreenMech customer had a duff bankers draft given for a machine that he delivered to Coleshill too. Dave, I wish you every success in getting it back. I wish the people get caught and suitably punished, 200 hours community service would suffice!
  3. Before and after pictures? well done for doing it too....
  4. Too far for me! Might get to the drag racing at Shakespeare County Raceway tho!
  5. My Samsung tablet recently did an upgrade - it is a year old now, and I have to "unable" Javascript when on ArbTalk as it freezes then gets out of internet to the homescreen. No hassle now that I found out what to do - but boring trying to work out why....
  6. Will, sorry to hear you got turned over, nowt appears safe or sacrosanct.
  7. Hey Pete, A "round robin" email has gone out to all the GreenMech dealers to make them aware of your loss. Good luck with the loss adjuster....
  8. I used to tickle my saw bench blade with a mill saw file and had the tool to put a bit of kerf into it too. It would get a proper tension and gullet from a local saw doctor every few years and I would be able to follow his angles for a long time then. If you do it well, then the rotational balance remains more or less the same - take off as much with the left as the right, just like a chainsaw chain!
  9. Just thought that I'd give this a bump. 21st August. Henderson Grass Machinery Open Day. Come and have a hands on day at Heriot-Watt University and try the GreenMech range of wood chippers. This Event runs from 10.00am to 2.00pm, for more information please call Alan White of Hendersons on 01620 823171. It is a working demo and we will have a SAFE-Trak , Quadchip 160 , ARB -Trak 150, Arborist 150 and a CS 100. Big Al and Martin Lucas from GreenMech will be there for the day.
  10. Good event post Dsvid. Hope it goes well for you.

    You must have been at the same sale as me, I got the bag of grinding sparks - they were the wrong colour for my 9 inch....
  12. That's what I'd do.....

    Your first step is to talk to the supplier. If their worth dealing with then a mutually acceptable conclusion should be a discussion away. I don't think that the finance people will get involved as they only produced a solution to you acquiring a machine of your choice.
  14. Whoops. I forgot to add the Moy Game Fair. This is held on the Moy Estate which is about 9 miles south of Inverness on the A9, Perth to Inverness road. We will be there supporting the dealer for the area, Gammies.
  15. Was at a show recently with RailRover. Smart piece of kit and can be hired with/without drivers.

  17. I loikes a good beevver! A bad un can does yer good too!
  18. Send me the number and I'll look into it. The programmable thing is easy enough to do if you get hold of Nac and Jason, but, it is someone elses machine so get their consent first.
  19. There has been an issue with cold starting on some of the Mark 2 machines which appears to havr been cured by fitting two NRV's into the system. Not all engines have them or need them. If you have one that struggles, call your supplier and get them to confirm it with the factory. Guards/covers are available to cover the buttons, this prevents buffoons knocking them off or water getting in through capillary action. I'm trying to get a loan machine for the OP to try, so he can have it for a couple of days, it is a difficult time of year because of holidays and shows but I'm on it.... I have to say mind, it is a cracking machine - quick across the ground, it's ability to get to places that other woodchippers cannot, big engine, big opening, programmable no stress device, slingable, optional winch, optional electric hydraulic pump, built with finesse in the midlands! Have the factory tour!!!
  20. Talk to Naud and see what they charge. Google Joe Turner Equipment and for advuce there too!
  21. Just half an hour of sheet lightning, thunder abd torrential rain! Still hot and muggy too!
  22. Alastair Thomson, the GreenMech Area Sales Manager for Scotland and the North of England, and his wife Lyndsey had a baby boy in the early hours of Saturday morning. Alfie Robert Thomson was born at 04:50 and weighed 7.2lbs, both mother and baby are fine. Al is recovering at the bar! (he wishes) I would like to take the opportunity to wish all concerned my heartfelt congratulations, an opinion echoed by all at GreenMech, and their friends and acquaintances in the Arboricultural circles within which, we move. Here is to Alfie Robert of Clan Thomson!
  23. That is a sweet ride! I've got the SD1 lump in my Hot Rod, albeit with bigger carb, better manifold, lumpy cam and tubular out to help it. Nowt better than a V8 on cam!
  24. <p>Mr Wilkinson! Good to hear from you! If the tank is leaking from one of the brass insert fittings then replacing is the only alternative I'm afraid Tony. I'll contact Balmers to get an idea on price on monday! Best regards Pete.</p>

    Jokes???

    I just lost the new job I started as masseuse. I got the instructions off of the boss, but apparently, "a full massage and then finish off on her face", didn't mean what I thought it did!
