Thanks Mick and all........appreciated.

Yes, I will try this method....just wondering about size/depth of holes now, ie: will deeper/wider holes help kill it quicker ref' there being more glyphosphate poured in, or am I over complicating it

Wife out on a jolly just now so she'll pick up a bottle of Roundup concentrated stump killer as it's available locally, Gallup I can't get unless mail ordered.....reference drilling holes, how deep/wide etc? Would it be best to use a wood bit for larger holes or just a HS bit? The tree was felled over a year ago BTW so unsure if I need to take any off the top or just drill away......ref' the salt method, the stump is cornered against a side and shed wall so can only get to half the cambial layer.

Thanks for the help......Gallup 360 suitable for the task? from what I can gather it's quite a high concentration.

Hi all, I have an Ash tree stump that needs killing off, it's about 2 1/2 ft across...what would be the best way to get this killed off asap? ie: is it best to drill around outer edge, what product do I need to buy etc? Also the stump stands about 18 inches or so out of the ground, would it be best to cut it down a little more first? Any advice much appreciated...........

Damn fine work...........the last pen pic' in post 15 is especially eyecatching, very nice!

Can anyone advise if this cap might fit the above? ACTECMAX PETROL STRIMMER REPLACEMENT FUEL TANK FILLER CAP BC4318 | eBay

[ame] [/ame] after reading through some old posts relating to Honda brushcutter/strimmers I thought I'd post this, bearing in mind this is an older 22cc unit....impressive stuff.

I only noticed earlier while clearing the head of tangled bramble that a small stick had worked it's way in there so what you're suggesting makes sense, i'll try and temporarily plug it in some way then....

Hi Guys, I lost the grease cap/screw/bolt whatever on my brush cutter and need it tomorrow for 3 ish hours work......will it be ok to run without this little bleeder in place? Blob of silicone do for now or am I worrying for nowt? no-one seems to hold stock and it's a weird size so have nothing here to use as a stop gap.

Ta' Spud, yes the plug is fine (old one in there looked like it may of been there years so just making sure with a new one) and it's running very well, taken your point on the grease It's a damn good cutter is this, any ideas on age at all?....either it's lead a charmed life or been looked after, it runs very smooth/strong and sounds lovely.

Plug good, any ideas on the grease? Appreciate any help.............

Can anyone help me with a few questions reference the above cutter please......recieved today, fired up well and revs freely and smoothly but want to grease gearbox and replace spark plug. Two things, is Oregon gear grease (used in the strimmer gearbox) suitable? also I have a new NGK BPM7RA plug although the manual calls for BPM7A...would this plug suit as I'm guessing it's the same plug but with a resistor fitted?

That settles the nerves a bit......looking forward to getting and firing up . Just have to cobble together a platform and that'll be me happy for as long as it takes. I've sort of given up on using the extended effort, more than anything I can't really see what's going on and the finish isn't great. Wanted a decent blade length to be able to get a nice flat finish right across, there is some thicker stuff growing throughout the privet which i'm hoping this cutter will sort.

I have just bought one of the above on a bit of an impulse buy really....I have been using a cheaper Ryobi hedge trimmer attatchment on an extension (and an electric trimmer) and it's not been particularly good to cut approx 150ft of 7ft high privet. The above appears in good condition, blades sharp and starts and runs very well apparently but what should I expect? are these good units if up together? I know these are single sided, which will take some getting used to, but other than that I can't seem to find much info' on them.
