It's really difficult to get someone to work on a well/windmill right now. I waited over a year and finally got the well pulled. It was 8 joints of 18 foot pipe deep. Put a new cylinder down the hole, new couplers on the well pipe and pump rods. All the pipe looked good. Checked the oil in the gearbox. Everything worked perfectly. Water started filling the tanks. Three days later, straight line winds over 80mph laid the whole thing down. The tower anchors & the cement they were set in were pulled out of the ground. About the only thing to do now is go solar. There's no electricity for miles.
Here's the question:
There's Grundfos, SunPumps, Robison to name a few. I'd sure appreciate any comments on what's good and not so good before I go shopping. What is working for you. What hasn't worked.
The well has 6" casing. It's 87 feet to water. 75' of water in the hole. 144' to the cylinder. 320 acres of grass. There are 27 pairs in this pasture. Don't need battery back-up. No cattle winter in this pasture.
