Good tool, we sold a rook of them a while back. Best advice on the individual hand brakes was to rotate the lever on the hub so that it is horizontal and cable in through the cover. Think about converting the head to utilize other cutters too, as Laski cutters where an expensive casting against Vermeer or Rayco. What are people's opinions on the Multitip version?

Love the Marina on steroids! Very much like something Gerry Marshall would make go!

Lost! !!! When you mean inwards, do you mean hoses towards the operator so he has a view or away, so he cannot see them bashed?

A QuadChip 160 belonging FairFax Plant Hire in Selby was very recently stolen from premises in the Rotherham area from the company that had the machine on hire. I believe that it was stolen from a locked building in a locked compound and the serial number is 12227.

I like the genre of entertainment that fuses skill, dexterity, dare devilism and humour. STOMP is another group of players that are good.

Could/would you come and demonstrate it? Sorry, hypothetical question for me. The wench has a grey Ferguson..... What do you need to drive/carry it?

I could never understand why they stopped making them!?! They just needed updating and modernising - but they decided to delete it! Proper old skool chipper, just make sure that it complies with H&SE regs....

Good photographs Rob!....

Justin, the wear limit on genuine blades is to the edge of the ring around the outside or I think it is 91mm. As steve says, full instructions on blade sharpening, angles, and dimensions are in the instruction book - available as download from our web site.

That would really depend on where you are, what size of machine, and so on.

Good post Pete. Thanks for the heads up....

I did here that this spec change of increased towing was only achieved using the V6 petrol and notbthe diesel. Misinformed, it would seem.....

Try Dave Oliver at Arbtech, get his details off of the GreenMech website.

Kanga, Vermeer, Boxer - they all have there pros and cons Stewart. MultiOne, Avant are a step up then you get into proper skidsteers. Depends on your pocket and requirements.

True Story! Dylan Hartley, rugby player for Northampton Saints and England and was in the Lions team until he recently got sent off in the league final against Leicester Tigers, was a guest speaker at a midlands club recently. The usual question and answer session was getting tedious and boring, with pompous questions about the politics of the sport, selections for the Lions tour, scrum down prceedure etc. A mates pal put his hand up, "Your question Sir?" Asked Dylan.... "Has your Mum ever caught you having a w4^€?"......needless to say the room dissolved into much laughter, there is no record of the reply!

To all you young ones! The A453 was the main Birmingham to Nottingham road before the A42/M42 was built! Still no excuse to leave portable kit about. I always got my lads to bring stuff to the truck at snap time, then the tanks could be filled, filters cleaned and cord checked!

A trade show is set up with one main objective but many peripheral gains. If the first doesn't happen, then, quite quickly, the others cease to happen too. Exhibitors are there to sell stuff. If nowt gets sold, then why would they pay to be there? No exhibitors means no visitors! Who wants to drive a distance to stand in a field. Of course, other factors do come into the equation like decent food, decent bogs, and some form of entertainment etc. But for suppliers like ourselves, where a stand costs a considerable amount to buy, stock, man, then remove - a return is necessary. Our "show" budget cannot stand everyshow, but on balance over the last few years, visitor numbers and the crucial types have declined rapidly! Joe Public doesn't buy woodchippers but they enjoyed the spectacle and the walk around the gardens and that doesn't pay for our time and effort. The management and marketing people need to decide what their objective is and make a concerted effort to achieve that instead of sitting back and hoping something happens. Is it a trade show to attract buyers of arb equipment to the suppliers, or is it a college revenue raiser, a spectacle for the local public?

Only to an interview if they are the special "Lucky Oants".

GreenMech will, once again, be at the forth coming Cornwall Show at Wadebridge from June 6th to June 8th. Julian Cullis, the area sales manager, will be on the Vincent Tractors stand with a representation of our range of macinery.

Nice hairdo Steve.

The name of that well known Asian karaoke singer - Gerupta Singh The name of that Asian lesbian - Minge Eater Or that Irish lesbian - Gay Lick

I was there on the stand of Bartram Mowers and it was damn cold on thursday! Met a few good people including Mike Watson of Coastal Trees and Paul, the father of Nick Perry, a manager at BTS. Paul is a great chap of the old school and has many a story to tell ....

"Where do I stand?" Why is the 1st thing that is asked is "who do I blame?". My reaction would be to look for a loose wire, or fuel flow, then ring and ask, "scuse, my chipper has stopped all of a sudden, it has spark and fuel, may I bring it back.?" You are more likely to get a favourable rseponse using that method than foot stamping and finger poking!

Sounds like the govenor springs/set up has become too active.
