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?

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!

We call my Grandad who is 101, Spiderman. Not that he has any special powers or anything, it is just the way he struggles to get out off the bath!

Hey Stewart, the GreenMech EC150TMP may fit the bill if the CS100 TMP doesn't do it for you.

Hey Will! Where abouts are you? Go to our web site and find your nearest dealer, then go to the bit about who is who at GreenMech then call the rep and ask them to drop by for a chat. The southern rep, Julian Cullis, will be at the Weald Woodfair in Sussex this weekend with a rake of kit if that is any help!

Good Post Stewart, thanks for giving the heads up to others with rose tinted glasses. Very best wishes.....

Subcontracting chipper rates (to help with finance payments)
PeteB replied to kentjames's topic in Large equipment
While you are getting quotes for your new chipper, ask Godfrey's for a quote on a GreenMech 130, I was surprised at the performance and I work for them! Throughput was bloody good and the letterbox opening could take more knarly brash with ease. Well worth a demo.... -
Advertise it and treat yourself to a new one!

Congratulations Steve, an award truly deserved to you and the other mods for running a well informed, well intentioned, trade specific forum. I feel humbled, yet proud, to have been a member for a few years! Keep up the good work.

Why compare machines that are not in the same bracket? Forst, Timberwolf, GreenMech, Bandit etc dont really share a common spec. 6x8, 6x9, 7.5x11, 7x12, 34hp, 35hp, 45hp, 50hp, 750kg, 1100kg,1200kg,2200kg, etc.....fixed base, turntable, tilting base, SafeTrac, TVGTR, Spider..... On a spares note, ask your dealer to have it sent direct to you, you still get next day delivery. If you got a gripe, phone they dealer principle or get hold of your GreenMech rep, his number is on our website.
