Dow Blaster is available from Amenity Land Solutions in Shropshire - costs about £50 per litre, which treats about an acre. Matt Sent from my iPad encased in a bombproof Lifeproof Nuud Case

We use two very good selective herbicides: Dow Blaster & Scott's ReAct - both useable on established grassland, knock down a range of hard-to-kill broadleaf weeds, such as nettles, thistles etc. Matt Sent from my iPad encased in a bombproof Lifeproof Nuud Case

Al, try KMR Engineering on 01473822622, they built my tipping body so stands to reason they might have spares. Matt Sent from my iPad encased in a bombproof Lifeproof Nuud Case

Foleys replaced with standard manifold - it was the original that had warped, and it had done about 130,000 miles. High performance manifold is costly compared to the OE version. Matt Sent from my iPad encased in a bombproof Lifeproof Nuud Case

Kept the intercooler standard on advice of Paul Foley. Bhp is 175. Minimal smoke when travelling fast, some smoke if caught out in wrong gear - but remap means I can pull away in 2nd, will happily pull in 5th at 30 mph and then speedo just climbs.....

Turbo is standard, as is the intercooler. JE Engineering are masters at tuning Land Rovers. Only thing I had to change was the original manifold as it warped. The re-map was done to increase torque when towing. But I must admit, every so often it's good to blow away a Golf GTi! Lol Sent from my iPad encased in a bombproof Lifeproof Nuud Case

We supply Blazer Heat logs to a local gastro pub's pizza ovens. High heat, slow burn. Sent from my iPad encased in a bombproof Lifeproof Nuud Case

Here's a little pile we processed last month...... Sent from my iPad encased in a bombproof Lifeproof Nuud Case

Talk to Nigel Baddley at Kentdown Mushrooms. He has a big processor, Thor log splitter - the complete package. You just need to supply the tractor and someone to help load the processor. Very competitive rates! Matt Sent from my iPad encased in a bombproof Lifeproof Nuud Case

We sell barn dried firewood, kindling, woodfuel & equestrian pellets throughout the year. Got deliveries going out to North London tomorrow morning in fact. Sent from my iPad encased in a bombproof Lifeproof Nuud Case

We used to deliver in bulk bags, but the handling without a crane became a health and safety issue. We now deliver just loose loads or either 1.2 or 2.4m with our Defender 130 Tipper. We can tip exactly where the customer wants it, without any manual handling. Quickly, efficiently and in all weathers. Sent from my iPad encased in a bombproof Lifeproof Nuud Case

Our first splitter was from Spaldings Groundscare - £500 and 14 ton split. Hydraulic. Used on either a tractor or off the hydraulics on our Defender 130. Sent from my iPad encased in a bombproof Lifeproof Nuud Case

I started with an L200 - good to start with, but skittish in the wet and expensive to service. As the miles piled on it just couldn't cope - especially when towing large trailers with big mowers or timber. Not that good off-road. When the going gets really bad, we put these tyres on the Defender! Sent from my iPad encased in a bombproof Lifeproof Nuud Case

Hi Mark, £300 for the tyres. 4 tyres on LandRover rims, 2 on range rover classic alloys (spares if you like). I'm based just outside Hertford. Email: [email protected]. Matt Sent from my iPad encased in a bombproof Lifeproof Nuud Case

If anyone is interested we have 6no. 7.50x16 dumper tyres on LandRover rims for sale. They were bought to allow access to a woodland, but we use a tractor now. Sent from my iPad encased in a bombproof Lifeproof Nuud Case

Morning William, the snow plough is a manual affair that sits on a modified 3 point linkage - it's the Jake Wright snow plough. The hydraulics can only be used when the transfer box is in neutral and the defender is stationary. Looks good splitting logs though! Sent from my iPad using Arbtalk mobile app

True, but...... Our defender has had a JE engineering stage 1 remap (175bhp, 380NM), EGR valve blanked off & the strangling CAT removed, as well as having heavy duty coil springs all round! Sent from my iPad using Arbtalk mobile app

I wish! It's an ex-central networks support vehicle (used to have a quad tech workshop body). Spec as follows: jE Engineering td5 stage 1 (122bhp increased to 175bhp, 300 NM torque increased to 380 NM) Webasto cab heater & heated seats / windscreen - for those very cold days! Lol 2500 watt heavy duty inverter with RCB & twin 13 amp sockets Split-charge system with twin heavy duty batteries Superwinch Husky10 with plasma rope First Four PTO hydraulic system with 2 connections front & rear: 9 litres flow rate in 1st gear, 54 litres in 5th gear ( in theory). We mainly use 1 or 2nd gear to power a log splitter. The Defender is serviced & maintained by the best specialists around - Foley Land Rovers (foleysv.com), they have replaced the Cat with a straight through exhaust, blanked off the EGR valve, & installed heavy duty coil spring all round to cope with the heavy towing & payloads, as well as a rearward facing camera. In addition, the lights have been upgraded: indicators / sidelights/fog/reverse - are now LED, headlights feature OSRAM H4 Nightlighters, there is a pair of Lazer RS-4 LED Lightbars on the roof rack (supplied by Devon 4x4) - they turn night into day (6944 lumen per light!!)

I'm in - proud owner of a Defender 130 TD5 tipper that's been tickled by JE Engineering! Equipped on-board hydraulics and a snow plough for winter clearance work. Sent from my iPad using Arbtalk mobile app

We run Viking mulching mowers, helps to minimise recycling costs whilst producing a great finish. Currently have a 650 VM & 655VM. Matt Sent from my iPad using Arbtalk mobile app

Diversify. I run http://www.horticman.co.uk, mainly grounds maintenance but I diversified into WoodFuel and it pays dividends (http://www.hertswoodfuel.co.uk). Matt Sent from my iPad using Arbtalk mobile app

We use Stihl 410C clearing saws with Polycut heads, anything too large we use our Kubota F series with a Trimax flail. Sent from my iPad using Arbtalk mobile app

I've got a Casio G Shock solar - bought it 10 yrs ago. It's been dropped from height, crushed my timber, tractors and its still working. Even tell me the temperature & gives barometric pressure! Sent from my iPad using Arbtalk mobile app

We have a Land Rover 130 single cab tipper. Payload of 1.5 tonnes & 3.5 tow limit - does what it says on the tin! Sent from my iPad using Arbtalk mobile app
