Sorry Chaps, I'd rather watch paint dry. I just cannot bring myself to watch any "dumb down" tv....Turn it off and listen to some music or read, talk, spend time with the kids - do anything. But don't promote terrible tv.......

I had a chat with Martin Lucas, the GreenMech Sales Director and we have agreed to do some more factory tours in the future - maybe a buffet lunch and some sales patter too, but focusing on the fact that we make stuff and not just bolt it together or import a finished thing. We also do stuff for other groundcare suppliers too and we have the capacity to make other stuff too. We look at the factory as a steel shop with a powder coat /shot blast place too, they make wood chippers now but they could make other stuff if it pays! When i get time and photographs, I'll start a new thread on the subject as many people buy the kit from a dealer but don't fully understand what does go into making one from start to finish!

Marrying the wrong girl wasn't my cleverest moment. Boy, am I paying now......

Thanks for the kind words, I'll get them printed off and posted on the notice board by the time clock. I feel that it is good for the chaps in the factory, like Big Geoff, Dan and Keith to see. It isn't that often that they get to meet and talk to the people who use woodchippers and are interested in how the are manufactured. Thanks again chaps, it was a pleasure.

Google Hoppus feet or metres. I have tables in feet myself being an old buffer!, you'll need a tape to measure girth (1 inch Hoppus is 4 real inches) and you will need to know usable length. These two measurements with the tables will give you volume.

Wbat happened to the original supplier of the machine Johny?

Working for family or friends can be a nightmare, depends on the people. Can they return the favour? I never minded, but then I would never be shy when asking for a lift to the airport or help in a breakdown or a favour to cover previous assistance.

Sorry for your loss. RIP Mucka.

Sorry, more info needed. What engine is it, what type of "no stress device" would help. Too many parameters otherwise....

Harry Stafford is a Shepshed lad, I thought he lived on the same estate as me but I don't know if he has a ride this year. I've not seen the van outside the house nor seen enough races this year to see his name listed. Plus the 125 category has changed. Fantastic racing both in Superbikes and Moto GP. I saw a super slow mo film of Casey coming out of a bend, elbow down, wheel spin and the front off of the floor! Magic!

Who is off to it this year - it is this weekend. I'm sat at home doing machinery reps stuff and can hear them practicing from here!

Rayco make damn good grinders which Westcon import into the UK, good to see Nick Rumsey is still rattling about!), but the chippers never really took off on these shores...I've only ever seen them at shows.

New GreenMech blades? Your GreenMech dealer is the obvious choice. Go to our website and look at the dealer map! I personally would only use genuine blades, on any machine too.

Yes Mr Walker it does.....The brochures are available at the GreenMech website under "products" and listed as Arborist 130, Arborist 150 and ArbTrak 150. We are currently developing a tractor mounted version but that isn't ready just yet.

To answer a few questions. The differences between the Arborist 150 and the QuadChip are little in terms of performance - they both use a common engine and share common parts, they both have a 6x9 inch opening and vertical infeed to cut down on snedding thus reducing the chance of a left leg injury. But the turntable design of the QuadChip and its side by side configuration mean that it isn't quick to fabricate and assemble. To build a turntable machine which is under 750kgs and inherently strong where needed, yet incorporating large fuel tanks and hydraulic tanks does mean that costs do indeed rise. The Arborist 150 incorporates many of the same features and benefits but is an "in-line" machine and through clever fabricating, thought out design and components, we have been able to produce a range of quality, efficient, quiet, usable machinery. The superbly efficient SAfeTrak system has not been used on the Arbor Trak 150 to reduce costs to the end user/buyer. It is still faster across the ground, has better ground clearance, has bigger/longer tracks than other similar chippers but it retains the greater chipping capabilities of the QuadChip. So you guys are on a winner..... They are at Saltex tomorrow and the APF next week....
