  1. Touche'!
  2. Jez Smithers is the rep in the seat! Ring 07825 012261 with your serial number and he will help you out.
  3. You can take a machine to whoever you like! They don't even have to be a woodchipper dealer - that is your perogative. But we would prefer you to take it to the authorised dealer. Ifyou want to do any service work yourself, you may and many people do - we cannot tell to spend your money with someone you might not want to. Dealerships can and do change, if your are happy with one, then stay with them. If you feel you have a legitimate gripe then talk to them and involve the sales staff as well as other departments. Contact your GreenMech rep directly if you want. Or the rep for which ever make of machine it is, because this scenario applies to ALL makes and all machinery sold through a dealer. If that machine is worth you spending your money on, then the manufacturer or importer should also take ownership of that deal and do what they can to resolve your issues. After all, they want happy customers too.
  4. It makes sense to do the dealer route, from an accounts pov and support pov. Some dealers are bound to be better than others and some will carry more spares - depending on the amount and type of machines in their patch. Sometimes problems can arise from them, sometimes the customers expectations are wrong, GreenMech can screw up too! Trying to support any product that needs the level of care and maintenance that a chipper can need is difficult. But we can only do our best to support you with a "local" dealership network otherwise we would stretched too thin and many of you would get simply huge bills to cover transport, mileage and driving time on service calls.
  5. Not true Tom, we do send out parts, and we can send them direct to you. But, the bill will come from the local GreenMech dealer. We set up a Nationwide dealer network for Sales of new machines and part of that organic growth is for the dealer to do service work and spare parts. In doing that, owners not only have the comfort zone of being able to talk to someone at GreenMech, but, also a local supplier! Parts can be sent to a dealer, or direct to you, even dispatched on a friday for a Saturday delivery if it is desperate and the cost bearable. Furthermore, the GreenMech website shows the phone numbers of Alastair, me, Julian and Martin, the Sales Director so we are all contactable and not hidden away from sight!
  6. The MD at GreenMech had the full size spare nicked out of the underneath of his Disco which is going to cost him a wedge to replace. He doesn't even know when it went either!
  7. Belting machine! Get one as soon as you can! But then, I would say that.... I must admit that had one out to use for a demo the other day and it is impressive!
  8. RIP Nelson Mandela. I do hope his legacy lives on and with a sense of decorum....
  9. I was well impressed with the lift capacity when you a Cliff Perks as a counter balance! Good bloke....
  10. I thought Steve Blair's Luton van with tail lift and a load of wheelie bins was a blinder! Chip and wheel rather than drag, chip and sweep! All your kit out sight and out of the weather plus big advertising space.....plus you can do the odd "back hander" shifting stuff....
  11. Tom Daly, the diver, has just revealed that he is in a relationship with a man. Brave lad.....bet that has broken a few young girl's hearts!
  12. Are they coming out of Special Vehicles as a van or is someone else doing the conversion? How do you fair with the auto for towing? Got to agree with the horses and towing....
  13. My son was very keen on the FaF films, petrolhead escapism......sorry to hear the news as the genre made many a young lad dream. I remember watching one with Tom and the intro by Mr Walker explained that many of the stunts were computer generated and others carried out by trained and experienced professional drivers and on private roads and should be repeated on the street...... Such a shame at 40. RIP Paul Walker.......
  14. Timberwolf is a brand name for a woodchipper that is made in Stowmarket by a company called Entec LLP. As far as I know, there is no association with any other company or product.
  15. Didn't do bad for a hairdresser from Cheshire... I thought the programme was brilliant, it is on ITV4 at the moment and now looks quite cheesy. RIP Bodie, thanks for the teenage escapism.
  16. Dan, we have ours that is available and you get to drive it too! Give me a ring if you think you are man enough....
  17. just a couple more!
  18. Alex Stamp at Mertrux in Leicester sent me these photographs.

    Celebrity! ?!

    Sorry, who is Katherine Jenkins?
  20. Tension springs can loose their "metal memory" and go slack. Check also that the chipper blades are sharp and the shear bars/anvil are in good order. If they are not in good order, chipping performance will be reduced too.
  21. 2nd that comment! From the point of view of an exhibitor, a trade show is pointless if there is no trade!

    Celebrity! ?!

    Anyone else find this so buttock clenchingly piss poor? Not only did I not recognise anyone as a celebrity, the whole thing makes me think that many of the attendees should be prevented for procreating!
  23. <p>If she senses through the alternator, it still takes voltage pulses per revolution but more of them! If you have a green light, speed is being sensed (does it change to red if the revs are dropped?), so 12v should be sent to the solenoid. I'm no mechanic, but sensing through the alternator is many times faster and more reliable and it isn't a special alternator but I could not tell you how it works exactly!</p>

  24.  

    <p>If you have a green light and 12v at the solenoid, hold a light screwdriver to the end of the solenoid - it should he magnetised. If it isn't, then your coil maybe buggered.</p>

    <p>cheers.</p>
