Balmer's Garden Machinery, the GreenMech and John Deere dealers (amongst other things) are having a two day open day at Laund Farm, Burnley. BB12 9DU on the 29th and 30th of August. 10 while 4 both days with catering on site. They will have available all the stuff that they sell, including John Deere, Stihl, and GreenMech. Steve Pulman, Simon Philips, Kelvin Barton will be there from Balmer's and Al Thompson will be there from GreenMech and Peter Bagguley may show up on the last day if he is back from holiday! GreenMech might give their new, as yet unreleased, 6" chipper a pre-Saltex showing but keep that news quiet! A 1928 Safetrac may be there, a QuadChip or Trac may be there as well as a CS100 too. Get to Launds Farm if you are not going to Saltex....

I had a stand there some years ago. As far as a woodchipper supplier goes, it wasn't worth going to as the people who visited, weren't the buyers of that type of thing. However, the show did seem to be friendly and some other good exhibits to spend and afternoon doing nowt...I had a brilliant time with Martin from Tafe tractors showing him how to use a Robinson Reciprocating double saw that he had restored and was using for the first time!

4 people in the carriage of a train - an Englishman, a pretty young blonde girl, an ugly old woman and a Frenchman. It all goes dark when the train goes through a tunnel. In the dark there's the sound of an almighty slap, and when the train emerges from the tunnel the Frenchman is rubbing his face, and there's a huge red mark on his cheek. The old lady thinks: "I bet that Frenchman fondled the blonde in the dark and she slapped him." The pretty young blonde thinks: "I bet the Frenchman tried to fondle me in the dark, got the old lady by mistake, and she hit him." The Frenchman thinks: "I bet that Englishman fondled the blonde in the dark, but the blonde thought it was me and hit me." The Englishman thinks: "I hope there's another tunnel coming up soon so I can slap that French **** again."

looking for mobile horticultral mechanic in leeds
PeteB replied to Johny Walker's topic in Maintenance help
Why do you want a mobile mechanic Jonny? Can't you fix the stuff yourself or take it to a dealer? I would ask the likes of Chippendale plant if they want the job, they have some good spanner staff and would love to get some outside work in.... -
Hi Jon, I have a halfords top/bottom boxes, MAC top box x 2 all off of eBay and top stuff the halfords is too. All they are short of is a "good" badge like MAC or Snap On.....

Parker Plant have tracked machines and Malcolm Herbert has towed machines of the top of my head. I'll ask the GreenMech rep tomorrow morning and repost!

I married a southern girl once, tasted horrible too.

He was going to ditch them anyway - but by letting her get a word in, she feels wanted! It is a ploy used by Northerners to let their women think they have issued an order unlike you southern jessies who ask their woman what they want!
-
Sorry John, I don't know for sure, ring the supplier for a measurement or just get them and have your head re-drilled to accept the new spacing and depth. It should be simple geometry.

A few days back, I posted the phone number for Jeremy Smithers, their Manager. Call him or contact your local dealer.

I was on a train this morning, in the loo having a ****, when a voice called out "Can I see your ticket please?" "Not right now." I replied, "I'm having a ****." "I don't believe you." said the voice. "Slide it under the door." "No probs," I said. "The yellow bits are sweetcorn !"

A Range Rover Sport is body off job to change the exhaust manifold gasket when they fail as the 'folds warp if the settings are tampered with to make it "sporty". The aircon pump fell off ours, the front of the car and tax etc had to come off to do that!

Got a txt about 20 mins ago, they think that the game fair at Belvoir Castle is cancelled, anyone able to confirm? Crying shame if it is cancelled due to wet fields etc.

PeteB replied to TimberCutterDartmoor's topic in Large equipment
As the man says.... Bond have a mobile Beast and one that tends to stay in the yard at Trerulefoot as I recall. -
I knew a distributor of the Eco diesel thing, they called it a "Hardly Davison" because of it slouch style seating! Good fun to drive about and felt stable enough on those big fat knobblies....

PeteB replied to BGTrees's topic in Large equipment
No Pete, Steve had a 150 not a 1928, I've a couple of pictures somewhere after Stevie modified it to fit on that carrier across the back of the Merc 4x4 hiab truck that I'll pin up later! Thanks for the kind words Mr B! -
As previously said, very sad news and good luck for the future Justin.... It doesn't mater whether it is one saw or 200 hundred - why doesn't punishment fit the crime?

Call me on 07774 282481 and I'll answer any questions you have and put you in touch with other owners to hear there opinion. Get the serial number and we should be able to tell you when it was built and who the first owner was etc... -
Oh, I couldn't agree more. But "vehicles are entitled to use greenlanes" should be interpreted as being for necessity and not for fun if an alternative is available. Don't get me wrong, I've had to do a load of 4x4 stuff following overhead lines for 17 years. But when I see rutted or flooded trackways, I think of the further damage to the environment that can occur and the wrath of the land owners, LA and stollers that could bring about a total ban on anything leaving the tarmac. If you join someone like the AWDC or some such, they have venues whereby one can go and splash and swamp without raising the hackles of the walkers etc.
