[QUOTE="longhorntractor, post: 1161731, member: 18708"] All, Just wanted to share a bit. One of the things we have be wrestling with in setting up our cattle operation is getting water to all the places we need it. We use rotational grazing so that is a big issue for us. So one thing we needed to do is pump water from our stock pond to a 2,500 gallon water tank about 400 feet up a hill. From there, the water tank, which is on a concrete platform, gravity feeds some watering troughs below. We also needed to pump water from the stock pond to another 2,500 gallon water tank about 500 feet (in a different direction) up another hill. The pumping does not need to be done at the same time. Just for a test we bought a 1/2 HP Wayne pump from Home Depot. Amazingly, it worked a whole lot better than I thought it would! The little pump gets the water to both spots with no problem at all. We can not pump to both places at the same time, but it works. I have included some pictures below. Here is the pond: [img]http://i.imgur.com/LVnL8bBl.jpg[/img] Here is the first hill: [img]http://i.imgur.com/DxQlsQAl.jpg[/img] Here is the second hill; [img]http://i.imgur.com/TFHIw33l.jpg[/img] Here is the t-connection: [img]http://i.imgur.com/UWZ9PzJl.jpg[/img] Here is the pump: [url=http://www.homedepot.com/p/Wayne-1-2-HP-Cast-Iron-Portable-Transfer-Utility-Pump-PC4/100067909?N=5yc1vZbqn6]http://www.homedepot.com/p/Wayne-1-2-HP ... 5yc1vZbqn6[/url] [/QUOTE]
