[QUOTE="mobgrazer, post: 633271, member: 9043"] It’s all in the site prep and how far you want to go with it. [img]http://outlands.tripod.com/images/rampump.jpg[/img] There not hard to set up once you read up on it. But the one thing that is more important then most web sites leads to is “driver pipe”. The driver pipe should not shake when it is running. If you use PVC you need to have it held down with a lot of straps or burry the pipe. I would not build the pump like a lot of sites show you how to, but buy one. If something is a forth inch off on your cutting then it will change the driver pipe drop and length for a good operation. If you could find the right spot to put one in you should be able to do it. You find the right spot and then buy a pump that is rated for your location. A few days of work and $2,000 should do it. A loader or back hoe helps depending on your location. I installed one for a guy down the road for $3,500 2 years ago. It started to slow down after 15 months and he called me for help. I asked him if he had rebuilt it yet and he forgot. After he found the kit I help him rebuild it and has had no more problems out of it. [/QUOTE]
