Subject: RE: Transfer Fuel pumps


You can get whatever you want. It just takes money. Fuel trailers are big in my area. $10k on up. And up.. you can get claimed 40 gpm with 35’ hose.
Price to your operation. About 100 gallon supply tank? Imo Á claimed 15 gpm *likely more like 10gpm* should be fine. If you can’t find 10 minutes of checking on tractor, combine, greasing. I guess you could start motor to warm up last 4 minutes.
I sold, rented, CRP any fields beyond 4 miles from home. Even when +17 miles. Start full tank. Wife brings 28 gallon with lunch, take me home I prefilled in truck. Next morning I add 28 gallons more while checking tractor. About 3 minutes claimed 15 gpm…. That 56 gallons normally enough to finish field, drive home with 1/4 tank. I have 110 gallon option. But never used.
But if you need minimum 300 gallons between combine, grain cart tractor, tillage plus DEF. Á actual 10 gpm is not going to be enough.
As said auto shutoff nozzle seem to reduce GPM. But you don’t have to watch as close. As my norm was adding about 28 gallons to 120 gallon tank well under half full. Not a concern. Plus filling during tractor cool down.
