    Now folks lets just settle here, it depends where windsurfer lives but in the 26 counties it is illegal to use a personnel with out integrated controls, except in a emergency situation.

    Surely hiring a MEWP or boom lift & harness would be safer and cheaper as it is tax allowable.
    Any device used for lifting people has to be certified every six months and recorded on a GA1, so in the event of an accident if it not certified it's not insured.

    Just wondering has anyone here made a personnel basket for a loader to work at heights, eg power washing, erecting sheds etc? With farm safety in mind I think its time I upgraded from a pallet and pallet forks! My loader isn't self levelling though and just looking for any clever ideas on how to design the basket on some sort of swivel so that it keeps its own level.

    Well when we need one in a hurry we use the cage from an ibc tank with the plastic tank itself removed. Slide the pallet forks underneath and ratchet strap the cage to the forks then

    Made one for the tractor loader, works very well, two slide down clamps secure it to the loader. It's used for branch cutting, roofing etc. as I'm on my own a lot I carry a ladder on it to use to access it when I get to the relevant job.

    Sorry, I don't know how to post pics.. Must try Kovu's tips!

    The post up the page re regulation is interesting, first I've heard of it..

    Now we're back to Guntering 101, it was getting far too technical there for me! Will try this as a first port of call, although I'd say a wider basket would be better as you would end up moving tractor a lot to reach next section. An access gate would be nice too.

    How strong is the cage from an ibc? To be fair sounds like a not very safe safe solution

    Unless Reggie weights more than 1 metric ton, it should hold him in OK.

    Sprayer. ?
    I read posts a while back where lads had got battery pumps from lidl or some where and attached a hose and lance to make a sprayer.
    I've searched but cant find the posts so anyone got ideas for one . ?
    Basically if i could fill a barrel on the link box and drive about hand out door spraying. Any advice?

    I was going to do something like that with a budget of €50 in mind but instead spent an extra €50-70 and bought a quad sprayer. Glad I did, throw it in the back of the jeep and spray away, happy days.

    I've one here but not your average portable one. Three phase run off 50 kva generator. Cebora Prof 162. Will cut up to 40mm. Air supplied from SIP 3 PH 7.5hp compressor.
    Never liked having oxy gas. Highly dangerous.
