  12. still up john..?
  13. I'd say he was right, kind of... 6-7 yrs ago we were doing railway work and greenmech was who supplied us with chippers. I'm no greenmech expert but from the amount of change in the machinery as each month passed I'd hazard a guess that they were learning from our sector of the trade. The tracks were terrible for the environment we worked in, the ever changing angles and terrain caused them to pop off daily...the sensors were the main pita though...each machine must have had a greenmach engineer out once a week at least to swap some sensor or other over due to failure...Within a couple of years though the story was completely different, the tracks were unbreakable and they had fitted their hydraulic legs and the overall reliability was dramatically improved. just my opinion of course, but we used alot of them over the years.
  14. I need that
  15. very impressive stuff....I would very much like to try that. Can't quite make it all out on the video...anyone care to explain in laymans terms..
