A project, but doesn't involve a tractor...

Been doing a little research and come to find out that I cab buy an entire unit (motor and pump already mated) and shipped to my home for < .3K. Some of these units are powered by a DuroMax engine which I know nothing about and have not been able to find out much about. Some of the reviews you find are good and some pretty bad. Anyone know anything about these engines? Another until I have found is called a Gentron. The same kind of thing....they offer a until with a 2" inlet and outlet that develops 35.5 psi. I don't know what engines they are using nor have I been able to find out and I do not know if 35.5 psi will be enough to do the job. Thoghts, comments? Thanks guys!

Been a while since I posted....between work and all, I haven't had a lot of time. I decided to rebuild the pump I have because most of the units you can buy for less then .5K don't move the volume of water needed to create and maintain the hold while pile is going in. I'll get a 5 or 6 hp engine and hook it to the pump and I should be ready to go. I am having 10 of my pilings delivered Monday (8"x16'), but I probably wont start sinking them until early spring. Still have to build a crane of sorts to hang the things over board, I need to get a good come along and some assorted hardwear. I have the cable already. Gonna have to buy as I go and I figure it'll be spring before I have everything together. If anyopne is interested, I'll post pics as I proceed.

Again, thanks for all your help!
