  1. Oh Dear, i rented mine out to a gardener/neighbour who had been doing some hedge work for a small care home. He brought it back a bit sheepish this eve, said he had seized my engine!!! yikes i thought, turns out he got stuff stuck in the cassette but kept the engine going. The result, burnt out drive belts. I need it for a job tomorro morning!!!! Anyone know the model/type of the belts on the greenmechs? My markings have disappeared off them!
  2. I used it on a some of my older saws and you have to replace a bit in them to make it run properly!!! New saws run fine. I think it smells quite nice though!!!! Expensive though!
  3. give glos wood fuel a call, they will take it from you for sure. I sold them 40 tonnes of pop not so long ago. You need to speak to John Bailey there. Or call Woodland improvement at Huntley (same office!)
  4. Lukes about it think and Little Rupe! If its raining and i cant got shooting then im free!!!
  5. Lol, i have seen a hedge near a student house that went brown for no reason!!!! Students need to pee!!!! Is the hedge well trimmed?
  6. Save yourself, run away!!!!!! nail it for the free listing then spend the money you would of wasted on someone SEO'ing your website properly.
  7. A couple on my travels on the Vet tree survey today!!
  8. I also find with it you have to let it run for a bit to make sure all the bits are through. Or when you come to start it again it doesn't go around!!! I have already spent a bit of time shoulders deep in the hopper with a stick in my hand!!!!!!!!
  9. lol, I have a ifor williams P6e trailer for that, i normally use my timberwolf behind the truck and the greenmech for the littler garden jobs.
  10. 195kg according to the manual!!! its not as light as it looks to be fair. You wouldnt be able to pick it up and put it on the back of a truck without 3-4 of you i reckon. but those folding ramps were only £80 so i use them and it gets most places.
  11. There is nothing cute about these chipper, i have got more slaps across the chin and been whipped more than any other chipper i have used before!!!! It does have small chipper syndrome. Its hilarious to use thats for sure, i am making a tow bar attachment for it tomorro and its off up a steep hill behind the quad on monday!
  12. That meant to read 3 sets of steps!!!!
  13. Just a few images showing where you can take the little chipper if you really try!!!!! £ sets of steps, a 90 degree turn around a shed and then through a panel fence!!!!!! No dragging and chip to take home!!!! Wicked! Just out of interest what would you think a decent hire rate per day for one of these machines is? £80, just had a couple of people inquire.
  14. remember what Gandi said, " an eye for an eye leaves everyone blind"!!!!!! Mike Myres said that also on the Love Guru!!!!!!
  15. I just bought a grizzly 450 and what a piece of kit that is. there are some about for less than 3k. Mine is bolted to the floor, in a secure garage, with cctv and a german shepherd out side. AYA no2 with some aa cartridges next to the slippers and pipe!!! I await the scum bags!!! lol
  16. Hi chap, i can assist if you need. Have been working in Oxford for the last 2 days and to be honest its not too hard to get too. Send me a pm if i can assist.
  17. Like some vinegar on your nuts sir!!!!! ouch ouch ouch.
  18. But... are these 65's still choking on deadwood? I ws going to get one as my previous chipper was a vermeer and completely over engineered. I watched a review on the 65 and it was dying with bits of deadwood.
  19. Yep that was the one, i even managed to knock him down a bit on price!!! He was selling it because he is a landscaper and doesnt use it a great deal!!!!
  20. Well I tried to get a demo for one of these from a local supplier but with no luck in the end I got a bargain second hand one on earborist. So I am now in the greenmech cs100 18hp mini chipper club!!! 2 jobs for it already where my bigger tw won't go and it's out on hire as I type!!!!!
  21. The powerline is a good one but........... this vid popped up when i was watching it!!!! LiveLeak.com - Woman Impaled By Tree Makes me want to slow down when driving under trees!!!
  22. This is a bit of a beasty epiphyte i saw on a recent vet tree survey. The general thought was that it may be increasing the rate of decline of the oak or holding it together!!!!! Anyway another one for the photo bank!
  23. Damn, they looked like fun. Glad you got it done.
  24. I wouldnt like to answer that, i dont know how much they are worth new or second hand only that he has one for sale.
