You voting with me and Custer thenHave a knapsack sprayer tested by NSTS tester ? are you serious ?
I've never come across so much crap, on a topic, in the entire history of TFF. And that's saying something.

That would mean about half the farmers would not need oneNo, because he/she is not considered a commercial or professional user, as a farmer you are.
But will the scythe need an MOT ? and licence to operate ?Maybe a scythe would be a cheaper option
Cut in May, they are sure to stay,
Cut in June, it's a bit to soon,
Cut in July, their sure to die
No just someone that knows how to sharpen it,But will the scythe need an MOT ? and licence to operate ?

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.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.
You can top it up with the farm stuffI 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.
It's proberbly classed as a huge Bowie knife and come into the terrorism lawsNo just someone that knows how to sharpen it,
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,
Remember book early to avoid disappointment
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 anywaywas that a must or a responsibility
Maybe a scythe would be a cheaper option
