Adam Pilgrim replied to Ian Stanton's discussion Glyphosate recommendations

"Just be aware that if you are applying 'chemicals for profit' you should technically be at least PA1/6 certified.
Albeit the risk to man/animal/environment is low doing what you describe.

"you're welcome.... forgot to take any AP200 with me today so was using an AP500S with the HLA135 which was heavier but not unmanageable...conversely might get away with using an AP100, which has fewer cells so would be under more strain to provide…"

"For comparison the HLA 135 which is basically the same motor with hedge trimmer attachment, the run time is up to 39 mins with an AP 200. Which doesn't seem to bad, would you say that was fair?I don't mind buying another AP battery, possibly a 300s…"
