PTO water pump??

[contdevelop]

Hello TBN community: I am new here but have been following your discussions on Kioti tractors for about a year, then made the purchase about 2 months ago, a CK30HST package deal with FEL, box blade, shredder, back blade, and 18' tandem axle trailer. It was an awesome deal, I killed about 4 birds with 1 stone; been wanting a nice big trailer for awhile, then i needed a FEL to do work around the property, then me and my wife decided to open a tree farm since we love the outdoors and gardening. By the way the tree farm is really taking off and we are enjoying ourselves alot. I just want to thank you all for good and bad comments on the Kioti.

Now on to my question: I am looking for a PTO powered water pump for the CK30. A friend of mine said they are good but doesnt have any way of backing up that statement nor does he know where to even find one. Have any of yall ever seen or worked with any and if so, how have they been? I have irrigation canals around my property, so I will be "sucking" the water from about 30-40 feet to the tractor, then will need to push the water up to 400'. I am hoping I can park the tractor in various locations near a canal then focus the water where its needed. We dont get much rain in south Texas, so instead of just flooding the field, i want to focus the water where it will be needed (ie. my young and vibrant trees).

Thanks for your input in advance.

by the way, the wife loves the tractor also!!!

I dont think that will push the water he needs to push 400 plus feet. You will need at least a 4X3 pump. They make them and they are . Here is more of what you will need for that aplication
PTO Drive Water pump - Berkeley Pumps

Kifco-Caprari PTO Pumps

Rainbow Irrigation Systems - For All Your Irrigation Needs

Google Key word PTO water Pump

they are not cheap. They start at about 3 grand and go from there

also bear in mind that if there is any uphill grade to the 400 feet 30 HP is going to be right week for that application. Most of the time they have about a 80+ Hp tractor oin that kind of run and she is rolling black smoke then. You nay be better to buy one with a desiel engine on it.

Thanks for the input, there is no elevation change, it is all on flat ground. I have seen the links you guys posted and I had no idea they were so expensive. I think If i cant find a used one at a descent price, i will just try to think of something else.

contdevelop, contrats on your CK30 package deal and welcome to the kioti pack.

You've got the property and big jobs for your Kioti -- I don't know if an electric well pump is feasible but it costs less and is permanent. I've a 1.5HP Grizzly Red Jacket $300 unit in the wellpipe that pumps from 400ft deep and then almost 200ft horizontal for 10 years now. 230V 2-wire. (Like this 1HP Grizzly)

Here's info and diagrams to think about . . .

Eddie Walker's thread about building a pond included his description of moving huge volumes with a cheap, simple 5hp pump assembly. You might want to search here and see how he did it. That would be less expensive than anything on the PTO.

That sounds like a good idea, I would love to drill a well and put a wind mill, however I have been told by numerous people that the ground water here is salty and isnt good for irrigating; that is unless I go down 1500-2000 feet. Dont really have many pics, I have been too busy playing on the tractor to take pics. but here are a couple of the tractor and the field after I did the work on it with the tractor and birmed it up for irrigation. I put a picture of my cub cadet mower and the bumper I welded for it.

Nice pictures, great job on the cub bumper, amazing job on the kioti bumper in the likeness of a coyote!! Did you use a plasma cutter for that one????

HAHA,... no that kioti bumper is our lab Homer, he likes to get in the way,.. all the time. Tomorrow, we are going to tackle the landscaping job in the front yard and try to move our driveway and electric gate,... the put in some 6 feet tall old school looking light posts. I already used the loader bucket to dig the 200 foot trenches to bury the electric wiring and. On another note, our tree farm venture is doing good, we plant about 100 orchid tree seedlings today, they grew fast, from seeds to 6 inch sprouts in 2 weeks. We are trying to figure out how to build a greenhouse in south Texas considering its so hot here. We dont want the green house to cook the plants so we have to keep it well ventilated and on the other hand, if we ventilate it we will lose the humidity within it.
