  1. Come on Mick, you southern wuzzes have rhyming slang - apples and pears, gold watch and you stick buttons on your coats (whats that about?) and so on. Leave the hard working grafters from north of watford alone.
  2. Cool stuff, how are they de-commisioned or do you just leave them underground?
  3. I thought the hoody with the reflective stripes was good ppe. No future for the world!
  4. Sweet! I bet he felt a bit of a dick!
  5. I'd be in except for the fact that it would
  6. I heard that they are robust enough except that the infeed safety bar latch is onsided only. Cannot go wrong with the Osbornes as a supplier tho. Not as good as a GreenMech tho:sneaky2:
  7. Beg your pardon Mr Butler - I think it is you who is ignorant in trying to belittle people for not fully understanding, because they have never been taught or believe in what you do! I don't think it is good practice to call people "ignorant" because they have a different view or follow a different religion to yourself. You could do well to keep your opinions to yourself unless asked!

    Cool trick

    Wicked find Tommy - I having a go at that!
  9. Hi Mark, to run other stuff on the front of any skid steer, you have to make sure that you have the right hydraulic flow/pressure. Another thing to check is that you have adequate cooling and hydraulic fluid capacity. The average skiddy is great for grabbing, lifting and carrying but may not have the cojones to run a mulcher or stumpy! If the have, then they can be a valuable tool. The other thing to check out is how much competition you would have and the rates that they are getting.
  10. Thanks for paying attention folks. A totally bizarre one this. A member of the public thought that it looked stolen and hidden so the Police had it recovered from a railway site tracked it along 3 quarters of a mile of railway property and Hiabbed it over a fence. Far play to the Police for doing it. But how did they get on NR property without permission, if they had permission - surely NR would have said that some works were being undertaken, surely the evidence of tree work in the area would have suggested to whoever that it was a working site!
  11. Have you considered rebuilding the engine, it only might need a rebore and oversize pistons/rings. Could it get away with the judicious use of a "glaze buster"?
  12. I think that Vosa are becoming extremely active towards "soft" targets. Remember - if it weighs more than 3.5 maximum allowed mass - you should keep manual records as well as tacographs! And only the last 28 days should be kept in the truck. That gem cost me £200 to find out that!
  13. Alan Oldfield (Beaver Plant)has just rang me to inform us that a buttercup yellow GreenMech 1928 SafeTrac has been stolen from a railway site close to York on the York to Harrowgate stretch.The serial number is 9155 and as stated, was a buttercup yellow machine. Contact either myself on 07774 282481 or Alan direct on 01759 372552 with any information. There are now two buttercup yellow 1928 STC that are on the stolen list both stolen of rail jobs.
  14. My thoughts exactly. If, however, you do pay rent of any kind, how can they throw you out? Surely even a "tide"cottage renter gets a certain amount of notice. Arbtalk does have a "job hunter" section, post your details on there and every other site that is known to man. Ring all the companies based in the area that you will be living in. Get on yer bike! Good Luck.
  15. GreenMech are taking a CS100 to BTME at Harrogate next week - I don't know what else is there as I've not looked at the exhibitor list yet.
  16. Spot on! The 252 and 260 had a "opener" rather than a crusher.
  17. The discharge stays upright on the QuadTrack. But it is still a distinctive model tho.
  18. What machine is it and why do you want to fit it?
  19. Hey Jan, give Andreas a call at GreenMech.de. It seems that the box is okay if it is going to green but 12volts are not getting to the valve. check all wiring and connections between the box and the valve. Andreas will be able to help more than that!
  20. You got it right! I had finger error:blushing:
  21. Browns at Chelmsford Garden Machinery. 01245 462264 ask for Richard Goodwill.
  22. That don't look like a fuel issue there - something else is to blame me thinks.
  23. Interesting garden ornament Blaise, you should have charged them double though! Nice work..............
