Has anyone ever been caught for not having a PA1, 2, 3, etc ?

That would mean about half the farmers would not need one
I thought the OP wanted to spray a dozen thistles, not decommission a nuclear power station......

Maybe a scythe would be a cheaper option

No just someone that knows how to sharpen it,But will the scythe need an MOT ? and licence to operate ?
Full training course for the use of a scythe, can be done on your own farm, a fully inclusive TFF members offer price and 1 off cost package of £199 +vat,

I think @Princess Pooper was referring to the OP mounting a boom on the quad, then needing the appropriate tickets to operate a 'boom sprayer'.
Agree that it's a load of cr*p, but it's the rules as they stand currently (compulsory sprayer testing coming in soon for boom sprayers, not knapsacks AFAIA). Whether the op chooses to abide by them, is up to him of course, but it's surely right that he should be made aware when he asked for advice.

I don't think that would kill a very big field of pp, needing a dose rate of 5-6L/ha of 360g Glyphosate.
£20 for 5 litres of very dilute glypho is almost criminal, and makes the cost of getting sprayer certs almost reasonable.
Yeah, I know.......bad mood this morning.
It wouldn't surprise me if a knapsack did need to be tested.....we seem to have completely lost the plot in this Country.If I was the OP I would have just gone and done it......but now it's on a public forum

I love health n safety laws, isn't it great how it turns a simple job into a minefield.
I will take the advice given and wonder how I've survived this long and
give a cupful to the wife for tea, if she's still standing it's not strong enough

Where are you located Banjo?
I can't remember, it may have been when I was told a few years ago, that it was a responsibility, but would become a must. I don't know the exact requirement now, but regardless most distributors will probably want to see something and won't take cash sales, so getting the chem won't be straight forward anyway
