Title: trolley as mount
Post by: lee_dewing on September 24, 2008, 12:54:03 pm: I use freedom trolley would it speed me up much more if i bought 50 metres of microbore and left trolley on van when i could?

I did buy 50 metres of 8mm minibore, trouble was plastic reel takes ages to wind in.

at moment i wheel trolley to customers house, i have 15 metres of minibore, so i usually do front and side move trolley about 10 feet and this gives me enough slack to finish back.

Post by: matt on September 24, 2008, 08:18:23 pm: im looking at a tank for the van

i still cannot see how a hose and reel from the van will help, BUT i will have the tank and i will give it a try ( i suspect though the tank in the van will be filled with a sub pump at night and then sub pump the water into my trolley )

Post by: ps outthere on September 24, 2008, 08:34:33 pm: I started with the trolley, 50m of 8m hose and 8 barrels. I found it quicker to leave the trolley in the van, and if necessary add a standard hose reel to lengthen to 80m. I now have recently bought a 250L tank, off Trike, and this has made things quicker still.
