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

    Jokes???

    I got caught having a pee in the local swimming pool today! The Lifeguard shouted so loud, I nearly fell in!
  3. 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.....
  4. 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!
  5. 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?
  6. Al, you could end up with a GreenMech goody stash....
  7. Surface mounted flat blades! Don't you just love em when they explode! I often wonder where my GreenMech 152 ended up? It got sold to Alan Mason and then God knows where! Ford Radiant red with a fuel tank on the outside of the body, not on top of the engine. That was a 1995 I think!
  8. When is yours being delivered Stevie?
  9. Im sure that Doug Bennet made some balanced sets in steel years ago.
  10. Shirta! It dont even look like a tractor if you get a tug!
  11. I looked at them in the mid/late 80's but decided against it due to tiny, uncomfortable cab and very low top speed. Otherwise they seemed a capable truck 4x4 and pto plus hydraulic connections.
  12. Wished we had got household chores done, car fixed, sons homework done as it is classis touring cars at cadwell park! Bugger BTCC, garage with the hot rod, lads honework...blah, blah, blah! Pork for sunday roast.
  13. Okay Mat! What does it say on the plate? '98 or '99?
  14. Maurice had that 220 in 2000! It only overheated because the radiator and air filter was always full of dust!
  15. Got some relatives in Toscaig, wild, wild country. Beautiful, but wild!
  16. yup! that is the year of manufacture. Any advance on the eldest yet?
  17. Seems that factory tours willnhave to become regular features by the number of people dxpressing an interest!
  18. You got a 220 Rich? I'll admit that some our offerings some 15 years ago were eclipsed by our competitors and occasionally were problematical, but, we have worked hard to overcome this reputation and evolve machines accordingly. A big mistake we made was to get involved with some significant "Fleet" deals with nationally based organisations who did not look after their machines, thus, anyone who used them has a bad memory of GreenMech. Changing this image has been a hard and rocky road with a few bumps alongthe way. I still meet people who admit that that someone else's opinion from back then has tainted their view and, even worse, there are a few chipper sales people out there who still knock us and not "sell" their own machine! I heard recently that we were paying Arbtalkers to say good thinks about GreenMech to get us some good "press"!!! That is a low punch..... Some of you prefer you Timberwolf, others - your Jensen or Forst, maybe even a Camon. That is what I like about the free market, people making an informed choice........ QuadChip - 3 years? Yes Kev, and I chucked a brochure across your desk back then.....
  19. Hi Dan, Greg! Best regards to you both.... 1928 or 1623?

    Jokes???

    The Wench asked me how many other women have I slept with? "Only you Darling, the others kept me awake allnight!" As she threw me out she shouted that she wished me a long and painful death! I shouted back "so now you wish me to stay!?!"
  21. Best deal I ever had was giving a guy £40 for a wind blown oak and sold two butt lengths for £400 that left another butt length with the crown for some very good log sales! Dug a hole and buried the root plate! That was in the late 80's too....
  22. A few have cracked and been changed under warranty, I'm sorry that yours has gone again - take it back to Global and show it to Andy.
  23. Just a bit of fun, a goody pack to the owner of the eldest GreenMech around.
  24. Just a bit of fun with a goody pack to the person with the eldest GreenMech woodchipper! I'll post again in the "Machinery Section" too.
  25. I think I have....marmite was better!
