Q: We use ordinary red fuel containers for refuelling brushcutters in the field. They have spouts but we seem to spill a lot of fuel. We've tried funnels but still end up overfilling. Is there anything else we can use?

Helpline: Sally Drury identifies legislation on lone working and offers advice on monitoring and safety
Q.
Our landscaping business has been using a second-hand stump grinder for several years and breakdowns are now causing us to consider replacing it. Presumably PTO stump grinders are cheaper than those with engines and if so, what equipment could we run one from?
Q.
Our nature reserve has a lot of low-lying, soft ground and we currently use two Kawasaki 4x4 Mules to transport tools, fencing materials and other supplies around the site. We aim to be a quiet and fume-free site and have tried electric utility vehicles but find they usually end up getting stuck. Do you see a time when there will be an electric 4x4?
Q.
We are a small landscaping company, mostly engaged in domestic schemes. The credit crunch caused us to review our business activities. One suggestion is to offer irrigation schemes to new clients. Do you think it would be worthwhile? Is it easy or would we have to consider training?
Q.
In hot summers we have a problem with weed and algae on our campus lake. We are considering a fountain of some sort to help to get oxygen into the water. Can you explain the difference between Otterbine's Sunburst and Air Flo fountains and advise which would be best?
