are the new EVO machines,” explains Martin. “EVO came about because GreenMech is not just a manufacturing company but it has a very strong design and development ethos. Both MD Jonathan Turner and his father Tony, have always been great believers in taking ideas and moving them forward, so when a rival started to move ahead of us, we spent a great deal of time analysing the reasons why.
“Basically, we needed a product with more torque, more bite and more throughput. The demographics of our customers had changed and modernised too. They wanted something that looked cool and did the job more efficiently. That’s how we came up with the EVO range, and it’s been going really well for us.
“From there, we developed a tracked machine. We now have a diesel version of that, and we’re just about to launch a petrol- powered version. We also recently launched the EVO 205 road-tow, with a tracked version coming. It’s very much the big brother, with a 50hp Stage V engine, even
more bite and aggression and a 126kg flywheel. We found that customers wanted to throw chip as far as possible from their machines, so we increased the chip size to enable that.”
It seems that the world is at last waking up to the benefits of electric power. What is GreenMech doing in that respect?
“Well, we are working on an electric machine, just like everybody else, However, until we can get over two hours of operation out of one, and it can be topped up quickly and easily, we don't think it will be able to do the job properly. Perhaps hydrogen engines will be a better solution, but we’ll have to see about that.”
That could be game-changing indeed. Rounding up, then, with recent successes and new products in development, what will GreenMech be bringing to the Executive Hire Show?
“We’re bringing the EVO 165. We have a 3x7m stand, but the machine itself is about

four metres long once it’s fully assembled. We’ve squeezed a tracked and road-tow machines on the stand before, but this year we want the space to move around the equipment, and to meet and speak to people. It is important for us to communicate how much we have moved on and for visitors to understand that we are definitely open for business!”
That much is certainly true, and the decent turn-out at the press event further testifies to the company’s reputation. Keep a look out for a substantial woodchipper at the rear of the main exhibition hall and meet the GreenMech team on stand K36. n
