Mankar HQ Sprayer no mix sprayer
Hi there, I was looking into how we can save a bit of time on our maintenance contracts. We use glyphosate to treat weeds around paved and gravelled areas. Setting up the sprayer and mixing chemicals takes time and takes up space in the van. Have any of you used a Mankar sprayer, or something similar where you use the chemicals neat? They claim you use less chemicals, the initial outlay is high but in time we could possibly make the money back in time and chemicals. We have a battery powered…

Van finance.
Hi all, hope you have all had a good Christmas and new year. Now thoughts turn towards the coming season. I have seen a good used van advertised at a main dealer. Assuming my old van would cover the deposit and left the remainder on finance. If the repayments for example were £180 per month over five years, could I just put the whole £180 p/m down on my tax return as business expense?Kind regards, Martin.
