Graham mentioned that the entire property was cross-fenced, allowing for efficient grazing. This also kept the cattle out of the hay fields until after the last cutting. Anything in the corners of the corrals, and in the bullpens, we get by hand with a shovel and a wheelbarrow. Before the Crunch, we used the tractor for most of it, and it was a breeze.

This is only for the glass, never mind other parts. I experienced this in with a Honda. The Gauge Control Unit was failing, they put in a new one, the new one was better but failing on the gas-tank sensor, and no others available from Honda.
I declined trying to find one at an auto wrecker and now monitor approximate fuel by the trip odometer e. James Wesley Rawles January 12, January 10, They NEED community! Create a haven for them -- producing all your own food, water and power.

Start Drinking Purified Water now with a Berkey water filtration system. Find systems, replacement filters, parts and more here. Few have a plan, or the ability pump water for decades without electricity from the grid. And fewer still have a contingency plan that includes relocating with this critical ability. Not only is our currency at risk, at the same time, so is our food supply and the ability to grow it. Famine could soon be in the land.
What is occurring in the world today has no equal in modern history books, but has been foretold in the Book of Revelation. Fleeing to the wilderness is Biblical. Regardless of faith, a contingency plan to do so, would be wise, in general. Those who would choose freedom over compliance will face persecution, and might be forced to move.
Fleeing to parts unknown, or into the wilderness, might be our only option. This has been my contingency plan since , when I purchased a Dankoff pump. Gardens will need to be irrigated. Even those with hundreds of acres of fertile farmland might not be able to irrigate it. And those who do have deep wells powered by PV panels, their ability to move to an unknown location and continue irrigate with PV power is unlikely, due to the limitations of their pumps.
And even if we have a solar-powered deep well pump, or a hand pump, we might need a secondary pump to deliver it to the field.
It is a pump we could take with us if forced to move to our alternate location, or a contingency location. The Dankoff pumps discussed here fit into this niche better than any other pump for a variety of reasons.
The choice of the Dankoff Slow Pump has been well thought out over many years. Indeed other pumps have been investigated, and used by this author, and found wanting. I claim to have no qualifications other than messing with this sort of thing starting at age 7. I am otherwise not qualified to put forth an opinion.
The knowledge and experience acquired over 30 years in the automotive maintenance business, and decades of experience in plumbing and electrical, were easily applied to this project. Beware of Internet experts, credentialed or not, and salesman.
Fortunately, these pumps have been in the field since , and have a reputation that is second to none. He has numerous and excellent videos, and praise for this pump. I introduced this pump to him around , and he has successfully installed it at many locations. He is available for consultation. Thad at humboldsolarwaterpumpl. He is also available for consultation and equally is qualified. Some of the information provided here goes beyond conventional installation advice. As a rule in engineering circles, the fewer components in a system, the simpler it is, the more reliable it will be.
Fortunately, there is a safe way to operate these pumps without batteries, and directly off of solar panels Array Direct in a way that ensures the full service-life of the pump. Properly operated, the replaceable pump head can last an estimated 5 years of continuous operation and 10 years of seasonal operation under the prescribed conditions.
Brushes can also last just as long, 5 to 10 years. The motor is said to has a service life of 15 to 20 years, and indeed there are many reports that support the claim. The pump used in an area where there are shorter growing seasons, the pump can last longer.
Avoid consuming the pump, that is, using it for anything other than irrigating crops, when the rain does not, and it will continue to operate longer. As with any precious and finite resource, it should be managed shrewdly. This is especially the case if we can only afford to have one. It is only adequate for certain applications. I do have a plan to acquire another motor.
The proper type, is however a specialty item that is difficult to locate at a price that I can afford, but only as a used, and a relatively rare item. It was good to have purchased it in at half the current price. It is far better to be way too early than one second too late.
Hopefully, the reader can avoid the many years needed to learn how to operate this pump, especially austere situations, that they might face in the future. The article could save the reader a costly mistake that could be made with this, or some other pump, where there is not adequate information provided by the manufacturer.
With knowledge, we might avoid a costly mistake, wherein from a catastrophic mistake, we could not recover from, and all is lost. If you choose a different pump, please study it thoroughly, and within the context of long-term austere settings. According to the current manufacturer of Dankoff pumps, a pump controller could become available sometime in late The reason given for the delayed introduction is the ongoing shortage of microchips needed for its manufacture.
We should note that microchips are in short supply, and susceptible to EMP. And the cost of a spare pump controller might be prohibitive. Pump controllers for PV-powered water pumps are an expensive component, that could cost nearly as much as the pump itself. It would actually be better to buy two complete pumps than a spare pump controller, and one pump.
