Thanks for replies, I think I wasn't very clear. We're using cordless drills to bore the holes in the stems and are looking for a dosing gun to fill the holes with Roundup. The Micron one looks just what we want. Thanks again.

We have a lot of stem injection to do. I keep reading about Spotmatic dosing guns but am having no luck locating a supplier. I did get contact details for Spotmatic but it turned out to be a filling station, in Kent I think!. Do these guns still exist, are they helpful and if so, where can I get one?.

Thanks guys, Sams got it!!

No, it was a horizontal cut at each side of the small tree, cuts met at the front (in the direction of fall).

A couple of years ago on a lantra chainsaw course we did a vee-cut on a small tree leaning over a stream. I can't remember what this cut was for or where the back cut went, can anyone remind me please?.

Many thanks for responses. We've chainsawed and burned a lot over the past 8 years, and stem injected the big ones as well. Just thought it would be a welcome relief to be able to cut standing up for a change!. C/saw pad - mashing seems to be called for, if a fire got away on this bit we'd be hung.

Hi, We have a fair area of rhoddies to deal with, many bushes are too high to spray but much too thin for stem injection. It's got to be manual work due to the terrain. Has anyone had experience of using a clearing saw to cut this stuff then mulch it with a mulching blade and spraying the regrowth?. I feel that burning could be dodgy as it is part of a very big natural regen. scheme.

Thanks for that, I see they have nitrile gloves as well.

Well, snow put paid to spraying courses. Which Tyvek suit model is needed for the PA6?.

Possibly milking it judging by the course/assessment fees!!.

Many thanks for all the info and encouragement. We're over on the west coast of scotland and he has a 240 mile round trip to do to Brechin in angus on the east. Because of the distance, they're doing the PA1 course/assessment one day then the PA6 course/assessment one day the following week.

Hi, My son has booked courses for PA1 and PA6 in a couple of weeks. I did my PA1 in 2003 but I know it's now done by GOLA. Are the questions still much the same, and is the question list available anywhere like the driving theory test?. For our PA6 as far as I remember the instruction and assessment were pretty much combined and the main thing was to do the swath width, flow rate, time to walk 100m etc, then fill out the form to work out dilution rate. Is it still like that?.
