Hi All. My request for one inch of rain, falling gently on Saturday and Tuesday evenings, appears to have been misplaced somewhere.
With not too much in the field yet, and a half dozen 30 gallon drums, I'm able to get by for now using a 12 v pony pump that I just bought from northern tools. It's a little slow, and I'm looking for a source for a larger one - this one claims 360 gph, maybe flowing downhill....
Soon I'll have to hook up the piping and pump water on a more serious scale. I'm currently using a 5 hp honda trash pump. It's ok, but I'd like to find a pto driven pump, to either mount on a cub (10 hp or so, spins backwards) or on a super C (20 hp, normal rotation). Anyone using a setup like this?
thanks,
dave
