There is a type of pressure switch that will cut the pump off if the pressure falls below a pre-set level. The pump cuts on at about 35psi and off at about 65psi and the pressure tank holds pressure...

I got a neighbor that does this. His cattle go down to the river (really just a big creek) for water. He went out in the river about 16 feet and set two T posts about 20 feet apart. He has one hot...

I wouldn't treat them as the cost would exceed new steel posts.
As long as you plan on replacing them soon they should be fine.
Make the tops sloping to shed water, and taper the bottoms.

I used MS Paint to put the pictures together.
Yep, if it can't be done with Paint or Irfanview then I don't do it.

Ok, then I got a question about my own survey pins.
Last summer I calculated a heading of 4.94dd S of E.
Should I have used 4.94dd E of S instead?

A neighbor put a fence up and I suspected it...

N 50'56'14" W = 50degrees 56minutes 14 seconds North of West.

50 degrees + 56 minutes * (1 degree/60minutes)
+ 14 seconds * (1 degree/3600seconds)
= 50.9372 decimal degrees

So start from that...

When our well was drilled almost 10 years ago it had a flow rate of 3gpm. We have 2 houses on that well and a total of 6 people + weekenders.
We are also 18 inches behind on rain for the year....

That's why you need to know the refresh rate of the well.
If you are pumping 2gpm but the well is only flowing at 1gpm
eventually you will pump it dry if you don't give it time to refresh.
And...

There is 3 types of head (regarding pumps).
Suction Head = the distance from the pump to the water surface.
Since you have a submersible pump this figure is irrelevant.
Lift Head = the total...

What is the flow rate of the well.
If greater than the pump rate then you can use the 80ft level.
Oversize your solar array to allow for line losses.
Go with close to 150 watts of solar panels.

My neighbor puts about 12 calves on 10 acres.
But like I said, he is supplementing their diet.

A couple of years ago I started helping my neighbor with his cows.

The hay supply dryed up along with the rain.

Gosh, all the cows around here are in fields with just one strand.
I fenced off half my yard last summer with just one strand.

I'm asking about scales for a friend/neighbor that raises cows.
Right now he has to load up his cows and take them across the valley to someone that has a scale to weigh them. Then bring them back....

Looking for a scale to weigh cows on. One that fits under a squeeze chute. I'd like your opinion on these two on ebay:

Or if you know of any others...

Thanks. The info wasn't for me.
Someone asked me a question about a window that size.
I needed that info to answer it.

Thanks.

I need some info about the size of a 3070 arch top window.
I'm reasonably certain that 3070 means 36 inches wide and 84 inches tall.

So in this picture, which one is correct, A or B.
I'm...

I don't haul bales. I don't use hay or straw for anything.
I have a trailer I could haul square bales on if I needed to.
Or a neighbor uses 4x4 round bales. He could bring me one.
