We have had a few Colleges ask to come and these are being arranged as a separate thing. The day is still going ahead with only a few places left. Send a pm with your details to book your spot! No ticket, No Entry! If your name isn't on the list, you cannot come in!

I see this and remember Ashby de la Zouch rail bridge by (what was) Mitchell's yard before the M42 was built and the main road from Birmingham to Nottingham went through town. Many a truck got stuck under that......

Give Graham Satchwell at Chipper International and ask if he has flogged a Gandini thing local to you.....

A new box for a GreenMech is several hundred pounds and we used to use the same supplier from Germany, a company called EHB. I believe that Schilesling, TP and a couple of other makes also use the same people too. By the way, yours is a Tunnisen or TS woodchipper.

Wartburg were an Eastern European car that were two stroke engined! They were simple awful but cheap... am I the only person here who is that old, that they can remember Warburg!!! Surely not....

They have recovered a chipped from a barn in Pudsey and the Police are dealing with it....

Sketchy details at the moment but 3 GreenMech woodchippers were stolen from one outfit based in the Leeds area at the weekend. I think that one has been recovered but two brand new Arborist 150 are still missing. These will have stickers from Rodgers Plant Hire in Holley, Huddersfield on them. More details to follow.....

Talk to Outdoor Power Tools in Glenfield. Ian Collington is the rep.

You mentioned processing in the yard as a cheaper alternative to a road towable machine....the point of a towable is taking the machine to the job and not the job to the machine. A truck will carry 5 times more brash in chip form than fresh off of the tree! We have a new 6x9 inch PTO driven unit out soon, it will take uptown 60hp I'm told and will be side fed with the option to tow a smallish grain trailer behind it....

Fair point Roseyweb..... I would not say that this thread is just about the motor though. Both us here at GreenMech and Timberwolf use Japanese engines as do a few other makes and that is because the overall package is good. This thread started on the back of a comment about a woeful peice of kit made (badly) in China. I personally would always advise someone to buy "mainstream" rather than cheap! A friend's father bought a Wartburg car back in the 70s, it fetched scrap money at three years after nothing but trouble. Even a Leyland Marina was worth a lot more! If you are a professional, use professional......

What size capacity and does the tractor have 540, 540e, 750 or 1000 speed box?

John Young at Melton Mowbray has something similar from Bandit, has been trying to sell it as he cannot find enough work it.

I've not read the full run down yet on the other thread yet, but it did make me shudder..... Wallenstein come in from across the Atlantic. Everything has a place ih this world market but..... Promote the UK economy! Buy British........ Plus, what are you doing to do with it when you realise that you need a professional machine and that they are priced to work? I'm sorry, but I doubt that it will trade in at what you think it is worth!

Are you looking to import this stuff or just use it? Best advice would be not to bother unless you can kick the money away! Worth nothing as a part ex on a future deal, and from what I've seen of these types, they do not comply with H&SE regs (just like those awful tractor mounted jobs on fleabay) and just do not work properly! Apply the large barge pole imo.....

Snow here in north east Nottinghamshire, not a cloud in the sky and looking tad fresh!

Sweet! Some of those are brilliant!

Bloody Hell Ian, how did they know where you are? How did they get through that gate, past the house, past those dogs and the man in that caravan? Bloody awful for you....hope you get sorted....hope they hurt bad when their time is up!

Our dealer for Kent is Godfrey's, they have depots in Sevenoaks and Hailsham. Try them for the genuine se3vice....

GreenWich have fitted Superwinch winches to woodchippers for many years....electric is easier then hydraulic and cheaper too. As stated, prolonged use may cause them to shut down until cool, some remotes or wander leads have an LED to warn of this. They are fitted to assist in recovery and straight line pull and usual winch rules apply!

Flat blades can break because they have over sharpened and there is not enough meat left between cutting edge and blade holes, or the rotor isn't flat or they have been "bent" over something when torqued down. That or they have tried to chip the unchippable! If blades are too hard then they can be brittle, too soft and they wear too quick....

Thanks to the kind people at Fletcher-Stewart, I've the opportunity to a, get some cheap clearance stuff and b, bring along a GreenMech Arborist 130 to the event to be in a position for you to see the new offering and talk sales stuff to anyone who fancies a chat...come and see it at their place in Hazel Grove, Stockport this Friday 19th October from 09:00 onwards...

Brilliant find Lee, I wonder if they dog can still ear alroight?

How many other folk apart from Andy and myself still have an 090!?!

I am pleased to announce that Friday 23rd November 2012 has been set as the date for our forthcoming GreenMech factory tour. The event is from 10.00am to 3.00pm and will provide you with the opportunity to have a good look around the factory plus see some of our range in action. We are really proud to be a British manufacturer of woodchippers and green waste shredders that completely fabricates its machines from start to finish. Some recent visitors to the factory admitted that they did not fully comprehend what actually goes into designing, manufacturing and assembling a woodchipper, or the pedigree of GreenMech in machinery manufacturing. Here is your chance to see how we do it! A buffet lunch will be provided so please advise us of any special dietary requirements, plus if anyone needs an overnight stay we can book you in to our local hotel (literally a stone’s throw away) at the preferential rate of £42 B&B. To secure your place, please book via a pm with names and email addresses of attendees and a confirmation will be sent out to you. Look forward to seeing you on the day.
