I agree with EGON, that feed line MUST to be dry between pumping operations, in other words it must NOT be level but needs a decent slope to drain out from either end. (preferably to the field.)
And from any field that I have ever been involved with the field MUST be perfectly level (no slope) as otherwise all effluent will rush to the low end and promptly saturate that field end.
Yours is 4:1 slope??? something wrong there.
A field is meant to EVENLY be fed so that absorption is slow even and gradual.
Big unanswered question still remains:
How long is that line from pump to the field? and is that rigid or flexible? What size? That line wants to drain perfectly dry after each pump cycle.
All appearances are that the feed line is darn close to the surface and therefor extremely suspect to freezing, especially since your field is 'above ground'.
