I have 100HP well on a pivot and a 80HP well and irrigated the same amount of acres and put on the same amount of water from same power company and the 100HP took 4.5 times more kilowatts. I dont get what could be wrong? The 100HP motorshould be pulling easiar. The 100HP motor is about 12 years older. What is going on?
