Jez is referring to the new shredder which was at the APF. Jez does indeed sell them, previously he has sold GreenMech, worked for Bandit for a brief spell, worked for Vermeer twice and Arboreater as well as doing tree surgery for Michael Dalrymple. You could say that he knows his onions....

Richard Court = top man! Jez Smithers is the rep for TS, it is worth having a chat with him too. His number is 07825 012261. Jez was a tree surgeon in sussex years ago and has been around chippers on and off pretty well all his working life!

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!

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.

how to calculate timber volumes, pls help
PeteB replied to borderfirewood's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
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 rs814 chipper any one got an opinion or experience of using 1?
PeteB replied to arbwork's topic in Large equipment
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.
