    The last minute of this video is one of my favorite of all your clips. From the tears of joy welling up as you watch your dog drink to the unrestrained grin as you watch the water stream from your hose....priceless!

    I hope you made sure the Hose Clamps had SST, Stainless Steel Screws as you had installed the Non-freezing Curbstops! One Tourist Camp i was in, didn’t know he should source SST Clamps with the Stainless screws and a year later from acidic 😮soil all his connections were leaking! It was devastating, to say the least!

    Not sure if anyone mentioned this to you or not.
    I have the same backhoe.
    If you take off that mechanical thumb you get a lot more bucket curl, even if you put it in stored position you still don't get full bucket curl. I used it for brush and it was great but digging was such a pain I had to take it off, bent the main pin too. When its off and you use the yellow brackets your bucket teeth will be straight up with boom locked.
    I haven't missed mine since I took it off and the extra bucket curl makes a world of difference for digging, still clearing brush but it takes a bit getting used too. Poor design to be honest,
    dealership cuts part of the stick to make it work.

    1 1/4" More volume... I dealt with industrial filtration for a large part of my career (both chemical and clarity {as in NTU's etc.} ) If I can help let me know, I was a "Mud Engineer" for NL Baroid Inc.[gone now], mergers etc... Then I developed sequential micron rated filtration for large volume well pumping, down to 2 microns absolute at 6 - to - 8, bbls (42gal. oilfield barrels per minute) ((also Manager of Sales and Engineering and Senior
    Engineer)). Just offering...

    Does the solar pump generate enough pressure to pump all the way up to your holding tank in spite of the back pressure from the weight of the water in the tank above? I'm curious because you only used a single line from the pump all the way to the tank and connected the same to the bottom of the tank. If yes, could you give some details on the pump?

    Funny how you can notice that the hydraulics leak down on the backhoe when you see it in fast motion - I hadn't noticed that before watching the videos in regular speed. In this summary you don't show some of the headaches you had to go through, but that's ok. Thx for the video. How are you coming on the concrete pour?

      Red Poppy Ranch hope ya don't mind all the suggestions, I've always dreamed of having enough land to do this kind of work. I think making roads would be a good way to collect rain water. Controlling the flow of water around your property is vital and I'm sure water works best when in a cycle.

  • @shanehaws3828
    @shanehaws3828 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Now I have a question about your feed to your tank, why didn't you run one all the way to the tank and have it feed into it at the top of the tank so it is not fighting the back pressure of your gravity system and then have a second line for your actual house and irrigation system? Besides the cost of you're tubing and whatnot, I may be wrong with my train of thought but I think with your initial kit if you had have set in the top of your tank your system could have worked just fine with what you had but I don't know I may be wrong just my train of thought as to what I have seen on other channels and or other applications that I've messed with.
