[QUOTE="RottenRon, post: 54888, member: 174"] Ok guys. Picked up the pump and couldn't wait to try it out. Dragged out all my gear and hooked each unit up. Here's a bunch if pics. [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/174/1391773913_pump_and_gear_2.jpg[/img] I haven't been out in the field with this lot as yet, but after the quick trial run, I'm convinced the big "Boss" needs heaps of flow. Even this pump might not do the job on one of these. I think I need to change the pipe setup on this one. The instructions reckon 1 1/2 to 2" though the box at the right speed, so it's thirsty .A work in progress. The Little "Grubsteak" seemed to work a treat with the pump just off idle, maybe 1/3 throttle. I think I need to tweak the pipe on this one as well. I'm very pleased with the hi-banker setup, although I'm running the pump at just under full rpm. Might throw some shovel fulls in tomorrow. Keep you posted. Cheers, Ron. [/QUOTE]
