Ive acquired an old property that had a school house and homestead on it 100+ years ago. It looks like someone re-did the well at some point in the last 60 years. There is 6" Casing pipe going down 150'. I'd like to install a windmill to pull water up and keep a trickle going into a pond, and aerate the water. I live in KY, on top of a ridge located in the knobs region. I get a very steady prevailing wind direction, funneled up a hollar to my house and this old well. How big of a windmill should I get? Could a homebuilt windmill with a regular hand pump pull a trickle of water up? I don't want to spend a fortune, as I am a homesteader, but do want a reliable system.
More videos please 👍
Love the video! Would you consider showing an aermoter rebuild?

Parabéns 👏👏👏 ótimo trabalho 🇧🇷
Does anyone still make the ‘crazy’ windmill, that articulates? They look neat!
