  1. When is yours being delivered Stevie?
  2. Im sure that Doug Bennet made some balanced sets in steel years ago.
  3. Shirta! It dont even look like a tractor if you get a tug!
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Okay Mat! What does it say on the plate? '98 or '99?
  7. Maurice had that 220 in 2000! It only overheated because the radiator and air filter was always full of dust!
  8. Got some relatives in Toscaig, wild, wild country. Beautiful, but wild!
  9. yup! that is the year of manufacture. Any advance on the eldest yet?
  10. Seems that factory tours willnhave to become regular features by the number of people dxpressing an interest!
  11. 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.....
  12. Hi Dan, Greg! Best regards to you both.... 1928 or 1623?
  13. PeteB

    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!?!"
  14. 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....
  15. 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.
  16. Just a bit of fun, a goody pack to the owner of the eldest GreenMech around.
  17. 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.
  18. I think I have....marmite was better!
  19. Been there, done that! Twice! Had the snip! Now playing at the fun bit again.... Kids are in their teens, I'm divorced, skint, demoralised.... Life goes on ad infinitum.....
  20. Greenmech – 50 years of manufacturing on the same site. The Turner family have been manufacturing on the same site for 50 years, making a range of equipment for the groundcare industry and GreenMech was formed 20 years ago. We are justifiably proud of being a manufacturer and we are, once again, throwing open our doors for interested people to come and see what we do and how it is done. The event is an all day visit to GreenMech, with a period spent in the GreenMech Training Centre with a powerpoint presentation, a factory tour, demonstrations of the goods we make and a buffet lunch. Although the factory produce GreenMech woodchippers, the focus is on the manufacturing process and how woodchippers are built (our way)and less on the woodchipper sales although you may be able to buy one on the day if you require. As per the previous visits, spaces are limited, so please request your place(s) with GreenMech, contacting Hazel Honeybourne at [email protected] or contact your local GreenMech dealer as they might be attending as well. The day is anticipated to take from about 10:00 up to 15:00 or so and will be on the Thursday May 16th 2013. If you have any special dietary requirements or wish to view a specific machine, please advise when booking your place.
  21. I'd go for the GreenMech:sneaky2:
  22. Once locked my bro in a cubicle while I had a pee, he shouted "Peter, you effing w@#$&£ r, let me out this effing bog before I effing kill you!" Just as my rather proper father walked in! That meant that there was two annoyed people I had to deal with! Fair play to Asda for public relations.
  23. Try Browns at Leighton Buzzard. Ill pin the number up for the hire desk in a short bit...
  24. Abley put Dean. But price is always going to be the first question. "Is it within the pool I have available?", "Does it work?" "Is it value for money?" "Can it be supported by the seller?"
  25. List price on CS100 with 18hp is £4, 550 + vat! Have a squabble with your lical GreenMech dealer....
