Urm, well spotted there... it is urm, as advertised 28th March 2012!!! Yes, there will be some rough cutting equipment there on that day too...

Morning, where are you from? I have a couple in stock of the Mark 1 version. they work well enough but it helps if you have eaten a few pies!

book it in your diary, it is the day after tomorrow! Big Al tells me that there will be some decent kit there too...

I think a retired English teacher was bored. 1) The bandage was wound around the wound. 2) The farm was used to produce produce. 3) The dump was so full that it had to refuse more refuse. 4) We must polish the Polish built furniture.. 5) He could lead if he would get the lead out. 6) The soldier decided to desert his dessert in the desert.. 7) Since there is no time like the present, he thought it was time to present the present. 8) A bass was painted on the head of the bass drum. 9) When shot at, the dove dove into the bushes. 10) I did not object to the object. 11) The insurance was invalid for the invalid. 12) There was a row among the oarsmen about how to row. 13) They were too close to the door to close it. 14) The buck does funny things when the does are present. 15) A seamstress and a sewer fell down into a sewer line. 16) To help with planting, the farmer taught his sow to sow. 17) The wind was too strong to wind the sail. 18) Upon seeing the tear in the painting I shed a tear.. 19) I had to subject the subject to a series of tests. 20) How can I intimate this to my most intimate friend? Let's face it - English is a crazy language. There is no egg in eggplant, nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple. English muffins weren't invented in England or French fries in France . Sweetmeats are candies while sweetbreads, which aren't sweet, are meat. We take English for granted. But if we explore its paradoxes, we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.. And why is it that writers write but fingers don't fing, grocers don't groce and hammers don't ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, why isn't the plural of booth, beeth? One goose, 2 geese. So one moose, 2 meese? One index, 2 indices? Doesn't it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one amend? If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid of all but one of them, what do you call it? If teachers taught, why didn't preachers praught? If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat? Sometimes I think all the English speakers should be committed to an asylum for the verbally insane. In what language do people recite at a play and play at a recital? Ship by truck and send cargo by ship? Have noses that run and feet that smell? How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language in which your house can burn up as it burns down, in which you fill in a form by filling it out and in which, an alarm goes off by going on. English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of the human race, which, of course, is not a race at all. That is why, when the stars are out, they are visible, but when the lights are out, they are invisible. PS. - Why doesn't 'Buick' rhyme with 'quick' ? You lovers of the English language might enjoy this .. There is a two-letter word that perhaps has more meanings than any other two-letter word, and that is 'UP.' It's easy to understand UP, meaning toward the sky or at the top of the list, but when we awaken in the morning, why do we wake UP ? At a meeting, why does a topic come UP? Why do we speak UP and why are the officers UP for election and why is it UP to the secretary to write UP a report? We call UP our friends. And we use it to brighten UP a room, polish UP the silver; we warm UP the leftovers and clean UP the kitchen. We lock UP the house and some guys fix UP the old car. At other times the little word has real special meaning. People stir UP trouble, line UP for tickets, work UP an appetite, and think UP excuses. To be dressed is one thing, but to be dressed UP is special. A drain must be opened UP because it is stopped UP. We open UP a store in the morning but we close it UP at night. We seem to be pretty mixed UP about UP! To be knowledgeable about the proper uses of UP, look the word UP in the dictionary. In a desk-sized dictionary, it takes UP almost 1/4th of the page and can add UP to about thirty definitions. If you are UP to it, you might try building UP a list of the many ways UP is used. It will take UP a lot of your time, but if you don't give UP, you may wind UP with a hundred or more. When it threatens to rain, we say it is clouding UP. But when the sun comes out we say it is clearing UP. When it rains, it wets the earth and often messes things UP. When it doesn't rain for awhile, things dry UP. One could go on and on, but I'll wrap it UP, for now my time is UP, so........it is time to shut UP! Now it's UP to you what you do with this document.

Al tells me that there will be a QuadChip/Track, 1323, and a 1928 SafeTrac there plus some other kit! Go have a look for yusself!

Bump! Who is going?

BTrac died the death some years ago when there was a change in ownership. It is now called Vermeer UK Ltd.

One cannot possibly comment on any of the projects that GreenMech may or maybe not be working on.

What kind of budget has he? GreenMech do a 6" tractor powered and the CS100 can go on a tractor too. It just depends on budget and how much HP it has. Have a look at our web site.

Class, pure class! Could watch that for hours, at least I understand what my 1st ex wife was going through when she ran with DD knockers!

MST, the GreenMech and Kubota dealer for Devon ,South Somerset and West Dorset are having some more open days. 20th March, Hestercombe House near to Taunton, 21st March - West Point Show Ground at Exeter and 22nd at the River Dart Country Park within Dartmoor, close to Ashburton. I reckon Fern is doing the catering again so it is well worth the visit for that and seeing the GreenMech range of woodchippers with Julian Cullis in attendance. We will have a good range of gear for you to see and try as well as the other stuff that MST do!

Henderson Grass Machinery, the GreenMech Dealer for Eastern Scotland are to hold an open day to showcase GreenMech woodchippers and rough terrain or bank mowers and scrub clearance kit at the Bonaly Outdoor Centre, 71 Bonaly Road, Edinburgh, EH13 0PB on Wednesday 28th March. Refreshments will be available on site. Contact Alastair from GreenMech on 07595 206036 or Alan White from Hendersons on 07793 589665 to let them now how much cooking is required!

My Isuzu Rodeo was a GreenMech reps express for 264,000 miles with nowt worth moaning about in five years! I sold it for £3,250 + vat and it was off to Cyprus! What is the general concensus about the 4x4 CrewCabs to come from that manufacturing giant "The Great Wall", soon to be here from China. I had a look at there brochure and it looks like a copy of the Rodeo and Volkswagen but for 14k for the base spec and £16k for the SE spec. The rest of the cars from The Great Wall showed "styling clues" from a variety of makes and models currently available elsewhere!

I gave mine a new bag and belt. At least the Hoover works better now!

Sorry, but for a grand, you'd be better off burning. Hedge clippings and leaves etc, ain't good in a chipper unless you are 100% sure that the stuff is clean, otherwise your cutters will get blunted too quick.

What is the spec/cost of a 75?

Do not listen to them! Most blokes are follicaly challenged so they have not experienced long hair! What is it with the yoof of today anyway, I see many blokes who could have a full head of hair and the have their nut shaved! The tide is on the way out on my head now, so I cannot speak knowledgeably on long hair, it go to a supplier or helmets and get their advice. Dreads. How do they grow anyhow? Do they smell? Does it hurt your bonce sleeping on them, what does your Mom think to them?

I was talking to a girl in the pub tonight,she tells me she baths in detergent every night, I always thought she was a flash ****!

I got caught having a piddle in the town baths tonight! Yeh, the lifeguard shouted so loud, I nearly fell in!

To be honest, I would yack it out and take to a local engineering company, get them to quote for a copy. Be a lot cheaper than a new from from anywhere and safer than a knacked old thing which might now have an undersized shaft! or be bent etc. Good Luck, it is only steel!

Quad chip blades are reasonably easy to change if you have any mechanical sense at all. It must be noted that, since we had a load of people asking about them using our disc blades instead of the square blades, quite a few machines are able to take either! As we have proved, round blades are less susceptible to damage and are cheaper too. The downside would appear that the chips are less regular, but who cares too much about that when the main job of a chipper is to reduce volume in a truck!

Why do you need a new rotor? I think that you be lucky to find a good one, anywhere. If the shaft is damaged, get an engineering firm to make one and press it in, or make a copy for you. If that is too dear, buy a new chipper and that will come with warranty.

I thought that Jase and Big Pete Nielson got to the bottom of it this morning!

Outdoor Power Tools in Derby or Leicester have some talented mechanics.

Try talking Mark at M&H Arb in Malvern or send him a PM, Predator Parts. I'm not sure what parts we keep anymore. I'll ask tomorrow.
