find a old boat trailer work nice for pump trailer
In my experience with irrigation on our family farm , I learned that once you get everything çonnected and primed be sure to remove your sprinkler head spray tips on the first initial water run! It allows any dirt or plumbing debris to be flushed out and not stopping up the tips!
I love the way you turn every single little task on your farm as almost a party. But mostly important: You go down to the beginners level and teach us all those details in a way that (my guess!) no one would miss a thing.
Thank you for that! Greetings from Portugal.
I love when a kit comes with some tools needed.. looked fairly easy just a bit time consuming..
Have a wonderful evening🌻🌻🌻🌻
Did you just say "the best way is to keep the cattle moooving?" 😂😂😂 Good video Josh. I learned a lot from this video👍
Nice set up! Good to see the Mrs giving you a helping hand.
Josh, three things come to mind right away. First you need to make sure you have enough sprinkler heads so that you keep enough water moving through the pump to keep it cool. The goal would be to have total sprinkler output match pump output. If that aluminum pump housing heats up you will be rebuilding it. Second I would suggest a check valve on your intake pipe to keep from back flowing into pond when you shut it off. Third, for your outflow on the pump I would put a cam lock fitting that then goes to a pvc elbow then another cam lock then to hose. This will keep the lay flat hose from pinching and allow you to change the direction your hose is running by simply opening cam lock and rotating 180 degrees.
Great job this morning! It is always a joy to have things work the 1st time you hook them up. I always enjoy watching your vlog and it is nice to see Mrs. Stony Ridge at times too. Have a great day on the farm, take care and God-bless.
Another good idea would be to install a drain pipe in the top of the damn about a foot from the top so when the level reaches the pipe it will drain instead of running over the top. This way you can divert the excess water exactly where you want it to go instead of it sitting in a problematic area and it will be a better way to prevent a washout
Those pumps set up on a trailer with an IBC make a great mobile fire fighting unit on farms and homestead properties.
Josh,
Take the fitting loose on top of the pump and turn it 90 degrees to the right or left for the pump output to be at a right angle from the pump input. It will work so much mor efficiently
There you go😊
Nice to see that you making a dual purpose of it. For watering, filling a tank, firefighting equipment.
To the missis: hope every thing goes well with the arm.
Great job enjoyed that, looks like y’all have fun with everything you do love it !!!!
Great system! Y'all looked so happy when it worked.
Another benefit of this setup is an emergency fire fighting system in a pinch.
Maybe if you have a couple hours notice. Most fires will be a mile down the road time you got it setup. Usually the wind is blowing like a bitch too. Best thing to fight a fire on a farm is a deep plow and a big tractor that will turn that dirt over. Then you go around and around whatever you are trying to save.
Hard to see happy person like you in this crazy world.God bless you!
Josh, I'm glad to see Mrs. Stoney Ridge again. From what you've said, I presume her arm is healing well. Sure glad to hear that, to! My son and I were out of town for a couple of weeks visiting family in Arkansas and Oklahoma -- 2 days' driving each way, so no spare time to visit anyone else. We had a safe trip, although we did have encounters (but no collisions) with a few nut-job drivers -- a Harley nearly took off the left-front fender of our rental vehicle, and another SUV changing lanes, going too fast, no signal at all, well that would have been a bad one, so thank God, my son was able to avoid the other driver's carelessness! Glad to see things coming together on the farm.
Great to see another great NZ product being used I hope it serves you well, I can remember seeing a great
mass of "K" line rolled up in one of the paddock's on one of my Brothers Farms it must have been 100's
of metres long thankfully I was not on site the day it had to be reset out.
Best wishes from NewZealand

I have done numerous water systems here in Ontario and the past few years I have used quick couplers, real easy and no air leaks, also used aa honda pump that needs no foot valve, self priming
Good to see the missus out and about God bless you both
The union goes close to the pump. you can use a piece of plywood for extra sprinklers.
That should work well for you. Its a good investment. Its always nice to see Mrs Stoney Ridge is healing up ok.
Looks like a good system. I use a similar pump on my farm, but need to explore different sprinklers to distribute more water
I bought thise cheap sprinkler guns on ebay. The 1.5" is tge best for me..shoots a heavy stream about 100' does not take long to soak the ground.
Great video, The instructions were very good. I like the results. Cheers
Now that's what I call an irrigation hose! Great idea !Your gonna have plenty of horses in no time also good pump
Lov that farmer smile of accomplishment... it’s an exonerating feeling.. had the same feeling when I got my 2014 WR Long grapleator work off my third remote off my old ford tractor..
Nice to see Mrs Stoney Ridge Again.
I was never around it much was too young my granddad had about 20 acres of commercial strawberry 🍓 and sweet corn at that time he used Gorman Rupp pump 6 or 8 inch with an slant 6 chrysler engine for power and for lipt and pressure to irrigate the crops from A drainage ditch that held water year long at the time....
Good Luck on getting the grass growing at the pond! Praying for rain! we are dry over in the East Tennessee mountains as well!
Glad to see Mrs. Stoney Ridge is on the mend! Pretty cool setup for mobile watering!
hope MRS.STONEY RIDGE gets better,, wish i was down in yer neck of the woods as its wet and coold up here in central u.p. of mich, thanks fer the video
I'm in the lp of Michigan. Wet, cold and windy today.
You're a lifesaver with this video I've been fighting find a good way to irrigate out of a pond for a couple years and definitely going to buy the same setup you got I do about 2 Acres so I think I'll get two systems and tee off turn one on let it work and then turn the other side on thank you so much Kearny farms and markets
i love this guys enthusiasm
Excellent video, I was just as excited as you were! Something tells me that Popcorn could be pulling this rig in the future! WOOOo!!!
Very nice and simple set-up. Looks great!
Bro respect your work! For environment check zeolite! Hats off good wind my brother!
Great idea-I love it!
Looking good! Get well soon Mrs. Stoney Ridge!
Good stuff Josh, to help keep track of your PVC cleaner and cement cans duct tape the two cans together side by side that way when you find one you have found the other. The challenging part is to avoid dropping either of the brushes in the dirt, don't ask how I know that ! :)
Can't tell you how many times I've found either cement of primer but not the other, extremely frustrating!!
Now THAT looks like a fun project!
What a good feeling . Your just beaming.🤠
The walking wounded....award that woman a purple heart!!!!!
Great job brother!!
A secondary filter on the outlet line is recommended.
The sprinklers passages are small and can get clogged easily. (Need plastic surgery skill to take apart)
This pump is made to empty flooded basements, an such.
Hey Great seeing u Mrs Stoney Ridge hope your arm feels better soon. Thank u guys for sharing.
Hey Josh hey to mrs. Stoney Ridge thank you for the video I enjoyed it and misses Stoney Ridge this is for you just keep pushing on don't let life get you down you'll get better woo
save the desiccant packages and put them in your tool boxes.
Or beans storage... or rice... but I guess most preppers use oxygenators to remove air...😳?
Nice kind of irrigation. Cool.
Hey Josh, just thought I would throw this at you, one thing we have always done is to pull a spike harrow ( which a chain harrow would probably work too) over our pastures after we rotate the cattle off one and move them to another one to help distribute the manure move evenly over the pasture to help with the fertilization process, seems to work really well, been doing it as long as I can remember and I'm 52 now and have never had to buy fertilize! Like I said, just thought I would mention this incase you might be interested in trying when you get cattle.
Wooo! Love you guys and the new irrigation system!
I toted enough irrigation pipe in my lifetime to know I never want to do it again. At one time I had over one mile of 6 and 8 inch 30 ft long aluminum pipe. We ran hard hose style "travelers" irrigating crops. Thank God for center pivot irrigation.......... Nothing beats rainfall but when it means the difference between surviving and not sometimes you have to tote pipe. Hard times and hard days. Best part was when we got through and the water was flowing you got to jump in the pond to cool off. Hope your wife mends quickly. Broken bones are a pain (no pun intended) . If you want to upgrade your irrigation watch the auctions for aluminum pipe a good pump and a "hard hose" style traveler.
Great idea for irrigation!
Hi from Oamaru New Zealand. We deal with a 4200 acre dairy farm in dry country which uses a combination of center pivot and K-line. They have 2 Can-Am Defenders shifting these 16 hrs per day.
“It never hurts to have a little real world activity going on”. The stand-out line of the video. LOL
Great video, nice setup.. I have same pump and I made my own sprinklers out of 20 foot one inch PVC. Drilled two 1/16th holes every 6 inches in a V pattern, flexible tubing in between each 20 foot section I have 8 sections of 20 foot PVC.. I can add more.. I added a T fitting and pressure gauge and full throttle I have 90 psi water pressure. And as of now I'm pumping water 200+ feet to my 8 homemade sprinkler.
That was cool. Now you have your irrigation system. Really enjoyed the video. Thanks 👍👍👍❤️
Excellent Instructor 😀
We've been in a drought here in Maryland also for the past 6 weeks. Very little rain. Your setup looks good. Keep up the good work! 😉👍🏾
Good job Josh! Nice to see Mrs Stoney Ridge too...
I stayed with ya for over 6 minutes. That’s all I got. Maybe later I’ll try again.
Love the Stoney Ridge Farm...
Good job with the water pump
Very very nice way of watering back where it require......so cool Josh....
Hi,
if you collect them silica packages you can use them for all kinds if things,
from keeping seeds dry to keeping/getting front windows of your cars dry..
Joe from Germany
What a neat system.
Great job Josh. Your farm is going to be green quick. Love watching your videos.
“Semi trash water pump” well at least their honest
Looks perty cool.
Wooooo! I’m really happy for you 😇😁
We were lucky enough to get some of that cool weather down here also
Good job of course you had a lot of good help.
Here's what works for me, because I have so many things I want to do when I get to the hardware store I see something for a different project and always forget at least 1 thing for the project at hand, just take photos of what you have or maybe that area where the part is missing...just remember to look at your photos while shopping!!!,many gallery app's allow you to create albums, I have shopping list, do list, want list, it's not hard to edit, select and then move the photos to the proper album JUST DO IT!!!
Put a rain shed and sun screen over the pump. You will thank me in a year. You can mount it to the pallet and using some fence hinges design the roof to move out of the way to allow you overhead access if you need it. On the water inlet and outlet you want 2feet of straight pipe before your hoses. This is based on pump best practices. This will help prolong the life of the pump internals.
Glad to see you are using PVC primer, too many rely on the glue alone, I've seen the consequences. Also as a kiwi I glad to see K-line being used in the States
THEY WERE MADE IN WAIMATE south Canterbury New Zealand by the KIRK family . they tow them with the 4x4 motor bikes .mainly on dairy farms were the centre pivots don't reach .
Wonderful video!!
Awesome setup 👍
A job well done. And it shows.
Okay Josh...you got me! I'm in the process of doing the exact same thing on 80 acres in Alabama.
..GOOD JOB, WORKS GREAT..GOOD LUCK GROWIN' GRASS...
Can only say awesome !!!!😁
I run my “small engines” on propane, easy conversion. Runs extremely clean. Even my string trimmer and lawn mower (push type) on a 1 pound bottle.
Have you a video on that?
Yep and you can easily refill the small 1lb bottles.
Tobbe Andersson There are multiple videos on this platform. I use a el cheapo torch for the valve. Modified it to accept a pvc hose, run through the fuel fitting on the carburetor.
Living vicariously through your videos here in Orlando. Fitting was a 45 degree coupling. Use Teflon paste, so much easier. Float the screen on a jug, very easy. Get a set of ratcheting PVC cutters. Your pots are way too far apart to allow for significant overlap. You’re going to have green circles. Loving your videos so much. Keep up the good work. 👍
That’s a nice pump josh
Thanks for sharing
Great job
Very cool Josh thanks for the video's
I am getting rain in my part of NC almost everyday for the next few days to help my rye grass I seeded and food plots
That was very informative! Thank you.
Super awesome
Another awesome job Josh. 👍🏻
Handy stuff to have. You may want to think about a floating pickup when you switch to the non-collapsible suction hose.
Wooooo. Wooooo. ❤️❤️❤️
To prime the pump. I put a “Tee” with a riser/ upwards piece of pipe with a threaded cap about halfway between the pump and the water supply. . I unscrew the cap and use a bucket to fill the pipe . Thread the cap back On Abd your good
As usual another entertaining video, love Y’all and Your channel!
You are awesome!!! I’m doing the same thing at my lake.
The USDA through the EQIP Program can help you with watering your cattle.
mooo!
rocking..
you can bury a few 6in pipes just under the surface of the top of the dam. the when the rains come, water will exit through those overflow ducts. usually rain maxes out around 3-4 inches per hour. so you can add tunes as needed. the flow per tube can be measured different ways. or calculated from a standard manual. they should be sloped downward about 10 to one to keep flow high. but that includes water height above the pipes hich adds preasure. your milage may vary.
surly the cows know. but they never let on.
I think your doing grate keep up the good work
Great video, we are digging a pool this fall, I will need to do the exact same thing. Great video.
I bought one from amazon came with a heavy duty flexible inlet pipe I bought another longer one and joined them ya can get at an industrial hardware store or hose shop , I added a better metal filter and an old bucket I drilled holes in so it doesn’t clog up as quickly works great that lil filter will clog quickly mine did anyways you will like it crazy how much water those trash pumps move . I use to have one of those lil electric jobs what a joke compared to these happy grass growing !
