  1. I saw the (my) first article load of Xmas trees on the M6 last week, and passed four wages and drags on the M6 and up into Scotland yesterday afternoon! No doubt I end up with one of those - no needles left by boxing day!
  2. A chap in Germany did that with a QuadChip. I'll find a picture......
  3. This was curbside recycling. Not curbside collection/transport. It worked well enough for those that cared and was a realistic solution. The business case did evolve to include a payment system which did take some chipped or shredded waste out of the landfill for it to remain at source. But died overnight.....
  4. How many where there Jase? 3 or 4? I know one was an older chassis cab....
  5. Yup, factory fitted with chassis cab supplied by a local authority. It was for a booked system of curbside reduction with chips/shreds left for homeowners. The system was working well, right up until that LA decided to give everyone a brown bin FOC for garden waste without consulting the division concerned. I think we did 3, maybe 4, but it died overnight once the bins took the waste.....
  6. Managerial fees could be to consultants and advisors trying to get out of the monthly mess of having a contract that isn't paying enough?
  7. GreenPlant have recently become the new Rayco dealer and I e heard that they have a good reputation with their Parts department on other makes.
  8. A wire rope is harder to cut than a solid chain or other such device?
  9. Not many down that way, that big! Shame for all those affected...
  10. This what happens if you don't charge enough to do the work?
  11. Got to admit.....I would rather pay more, a lot more.....to acquire goods from another economic zone. Support Britian, support the UK, support our European neighbours....
  12. 1105turbo? 3 pot? We use the same engine in QuadChips and Arb150 units. Or at least did until the Tier 5 thing came along! Our wiring diagram might help. Try downloading from our website. Have a go!
  13. There are still Navara models available, what are they like?
  14. I've to call a few dealers to get a handle on workshop rates, service costs, warranty etc.... Ford webpage doesn't seem to cover the mpg values or prices either!
  15. GreenMech are changing trucks soon enough. With delivery periods, we are looking at a fleet deal early next year. Anyone got the new Ecoboost Ranger? Views on the current Hilux? Does the D Max measure up? I know that there are many vagaries etc My current 3.2 gave me a load of grief with Adblue measurement, but other than that, she done well. Yet the other has had £6k spent on it! We may have stayed with the same again but, what are the collective opinions of the new kit?
  16. Change the blades yourself, there is a video of how it is done! Do it often and It becomes easy!
  17. Eddie George is on 01509 842320, give him my best regards. Did loads for me when I ran Barrowcliff's and a couple of jobs for GreenMech too!
  18. If you were up this way, I'd have bobbed over to see Eddy George at Long Whatton and asked him. Proper helpful and talented Ag Engineer....
  19. Woody was just looking in the bin, honest! received_350614266842705.mp4
  20. Akin to tray backs etc. I've often wondered why, by and large, we only see standard trucks or Arb tybe bodies but rarely see dropside conversions!
  21. Think is dated 1951.....
  22. Free to anyone who can be bothered to collect it! Was working when I nicked the motor off it. Close J23/24 on the M1.
  23. Midlands Machinery Show - 9 and 10 Nov 2021 WWW.MIDLANDSMACHINERYSHOW.COM The show is a platform for SME and large agricultural machinery businesses to showcase their products to those... GreenMech will be there with Burdens, our Lincolnshire dealer. I'll probably be there on both days with an Evo165DT tracked demo unit.

  24. BBC News - 'Robust action' taken against tree disease found in Cornwall https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-cornwall-58998190
  25. Have Forst and Timberwolf got dealer representation in Canada?
