Remedy is an EXCELLENT herbicide. When I bought my place in Texas is was covered with the dreaded mesquite trees. Some were 8 inches in diameter. I would estimate there were 500-600 of these on the original 24 acres I bought. I used remedy mixed with diesel fuel at a rate of 1/2 cup remedy per gallon of diesel in a Solo backpack sprayer. You can mix it with water but most old timers recommend the diesel because it sticks better and you can tell for days which tree you have sprayed. When spraying in hundreds of trees, it is easy to lose track of which you have and havent sprayed. Spray the trunk of the tree at ground level and spray all the way around the base of the trunk. Do not worry about the leaves. Just a 6 inch band or so all the way around the trunk. I got nearly a 100% kill. Then after a year, I had the unpleasant task of cutting these down, dragging and burning them. This had to be done almost by hand and foot because mesquite trees have very sharp thorns that make tractor work around them impossible unless you just enjoy fixing flats. The mesquite tree is a very hearty plant, I would compare it to the locust in the Eastern US. I would think it would kill the trees you mentioned quite easily. Email me if you have any questions, I will be glad to tell you what little I know! Good luck!

12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
