Good race, this season is the best so far with flaps that move and electric engines (are they counted as hybrid now?) With regards to the rain, as someone said, the are a canoe with a wheel on each corner so they have to stop! Plus the bike race wasn't as wet as Canada. Get on JB, show them how it is done!

"The big manufacturers should take this up as an effort to help the industry. Existing machines could then be registered with the supplier as well." Les Cork. Les, if anyone is looking at buying a biggish piece of kit and they are honest - all they have to do is ring the manufacturer/supplier and give the serial number. If the trader is honest, he will offer every assistance in the sale! There is no such thing as a "bargain", if it is really cheap then there is a reason!

I've defoe had lasses with no head..................

Well put Ed. You would put a good groundie through and aerial ticket but moan about paying to have a proper ticket. I'd pay for the ticket and still have a GreenMech!
-
I've one! I'll send you a pm with the rates or look at the "used equipment" section on our web site. It is called MultiTask 120.

I'm in agreement with you Bob. Wrong species, wrong place. But better than nothing. Lovely work tho. The same people must travel as there is another just like it in Shepshed!

Shame really - they ought to be truly named, shamed, flogged and chased out of town! A true case of Sheffield Blight!

I'm sorry to hear of your troubled times and hope that you find fulfillment with another company soon. Try to look at life with a positive outlook and think that every downside has an upside too. Is it time to go it alone?

"Take off 3m for HS&E" Ha Ha Ha............. On a 64m spread, I'm sure that'd work!

Chris Ball of Clitheroe has contacted us to inform us that his '05 Safetrac was stolen out of his yard on Sunday morning along with a Brian James trailer. This machine was fitted with an electric winch in a home made bracket and had a ex-WD toolbox fitted to the top of the chipper. Chris can be contacted on 07973 349006 if you are offered one that you are suspicious of.

I was in Rotherham yesterday and didn't have my camera (forgot the one on the phone). Anyone going to own up to knocking the trees about outside the United Carpets showroom on Rawmarsh Road? I'll get a photo next week or soon after unless someone local can do it!

"Really nice staff"? My old English teacher used to say that the word "nice" was non-descriptive and therefore wet! Couldn't you describe us with a bit more Passion please! "Nice" Forsooth!!!
-
Jenz - good tool but a tad over the top for a bit of conny topping don't you think. I'd go for a GreenMech.

Try the racecourse, golf course or give city/county a ring to see if you can use their site. Failing that, George Walkers have a facility topside of town. -
Call Derek Harris, he is over by Carmarthan way. I can think of another couple of guys if that is too far west.

25 years ago I tushed out an artic load of big elm butts with a small International, about the same size as a Dexta and it managed. It didn't need a de-coke afterwards mind. A decent chain onto the rear linkage, lift the butts up and that will give traction and steerage is provided with the foot brakes! Just another day in the woods!

If you are in Suffolk, then why not go to the factory and pick them up from there? They will have all the currently required H&SE stickers on the shelf.

Smart chicken shed! Love the colour - do you live in an area of outstanding natural beauty and the colour was a pre-requisite in the planning application? It looks like National Trust green!

Last few.

Some more.

Took Tom to the 4th PPC in the Park on Saturday. Enjoyed it too.

Looks good in the 1st pic Ben, is putting www worth it nowadays or do people read it as a web address if followed by .com etc.

I recently thought about entering into local politics because I'm fizzed off with ineffective people working at local level but then they are held down by the regional councils who are held down by national policies made up by the mandarins who rule this country out of Whitehall, not Downing Street. But yes to one post, greed (power or money or fame)overcomes ones beliefs!
-
Almost true Janey - we recently had an an election and what was the turnout? An election is a method of effecting change although we (the electorate) can only change it into something else on the paper! That is not really "change" in the manner you prescribe. If one thinks that one can do better, then please, be my guest and start to try! We will soon find that we will swap one shower for another, but they will have less credibility and experience. (regrettably)

I have been to hundreds of different shows over the last 10 years with GreenMech and quite often say that shows like this would be better every two years but planned in tandem with other shows. APF one year, AA the next etc. That way, things have a "freshness" about them, they are incredibly expensive to set up and manage so the sales outlets have to maximise their return. A show is, afterall, a sales event with a social side tacked onto it. If no one buys, no one exhibits. If no one exhibits then there is no show. My thanks to Gustharts for the effort in putting on the event and our dealer, Arbtech Machinery (Dave Oliver and John Storey as the sales manager) for a good couple of days.
