    I can only assume the details of the seized engine were omitted from the insurance claim!

    Always an Itch for another Unimog, wish I hadn’t sold my little green 416 , especially to an idiot who seized the engine within 3 days and it mysteriously caught fire while charging the battery and owes me money! What are the chances???

    No I use the front more, when I first got it, i planned on replacing it the next week, the more I use it the less I notice it tbh.

    I used to think it was expensive and tried to work out the extra cost while drinking my 2nd of my 3rd take away coffees I’d average every day. So I worked out how much a gallon of Cappuccino was. £57!!, aspen was £15 bulk ! So I just prioritised! Then I got fed up compromising so put my prices up and had both.

    I was using Aspen for 6 years, ran out and used some 2 stroke from another cutter! The smell of petrol brought back a lot of nostalgia and I cracked on for a few months! Not realising I was coughing more and having trouble sleeping! I then got diagnosed with Asthma and got some inhalers! Went straight back onto Aspen and I’ve not needed my inhaler since!

    I’ve had a sore back and pain since I was 14, I’m 44 in 2 months time. You just live with it, I used to train a lot but now I don’t. Good physio every 2 weeks and painkillers twice a day. Your sore because your over straining and over using. Get stronger, do less.

    Poor access and just Big! It was on the corner of 4 gardens on a new terraces back garden on a hill! 26 tipper loads of logs, 4 chip and 4 sawdust. If I was doing it now it would of be £2k and 3 days with machines. It was a lot of money for me back then coming from £4.30 an hour 18 months before!
  18. Stephen Blair
    £3k and that was 19 years ago, 2 weeks for 3-4 guys. After that I think the most has been about a grand.

    Have to say dealing with Ashley was effortless and a breath of fresh air. No nonesense, no drama and the Safetrak is like new , good to see the dealers keeping up Greenmechs reputation.
