  1. Advertise it and treat yourself to a new one!
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Gammies are pleased to advise their demo event will be taking place at Edzell Base on 18 & 19 September 2013. There will be approx 20 stands, with all machines on display including, Hog Roast, buffet and refreshments will be available to all. GreenMech will have a range of machines there and Peter Bagguley and Alastair Thomson will be present. Further site details will be available later.
  5. <p>Hi, a call to the GreenMech service team of Mac and Jason on 01789 400044 would resolve it! I'm pretty sure that the bottom anvil has a chamfer on each end and is effectively wedged into place.</p>

    Jokes???

    So I woke up in hospital after my accident with a sexy nurse bending right over me. She says, "now then, you cannot feel anything below the waist." So I just grabbed her tits!
  7. Is the spec close to Boxer and Vermeer? The smooth tracks seem a strange idea too, or is that just for trials?
  8. Everything has it's place in the market and I'm sure that the Bearcat range have been good to some people. Consider this though, what will they be worth when you want to trade up to a mainstream machine? Who is the local dealer for spares or service work? Will it be capable in fulfilling your needs for long? If it ticks your boxes, place your hid and I wish you much pleasure with your purchase! Usual rules apply, ask the seller for the serial number and contact the original/local dealer, do you research, visit and try the machine and don't get auction fever!
  9. 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.
  10. 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!
  11. Before and after pictures? well done for doing it too....
  12. Too far for me! Might get to the drag racing at Shakespeare County Raceway tho!
  13. 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....
  14. Will, sorry to hear you got turned over, nowt appears safe or sacrosanct.
  15. 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....
  16. 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!
  17. 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.
  18. 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....
  20. 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.
