[QUOTE="Ag Man, post: 123509, member: 113"] I saw Slowflow's Rato pump & was impressed. I know it was at river level but at idle or a tad above it gave more than enough water to the highbanker. Keep your eye out at the tip, scrap yard etc. for a 5hp Honda pump. There's heaps around(most farmers/property owners have them & many don't bother getting them fixed if in need of repair), Even better, ask the scrap yard to keep an eye out for you. $25-$50 & it's yours. I picked one from roadside hard rubbish - the carburetor was badly corroded & the pump impeller was clogged with dry mud. A clean out & $30 for a chinese eBay carburetor & she goes great! If you want a light/more portable engine, then a 2stroke is the go but you'll need to put up with the noise. [/QUOTE]
