Crawfordsville, Arkansas | Gas powered pump is the way to go.
I get the idea of an electric pump but that would never work in my area. So many 500 and 1000 gallon power unit tanks around that would never ever get filled if we had electric pumps. Irrigation changes everything.
We had a 1000 gallon tank sitting on an old tandem axle water trailer with a Honda pump and hose reel. It was used daily during the summer. It was nothing for us to go through a 7700 gallon transport load of diesel in a week. That fuel trailer had torsion axles on it. I’ve pulled it 70 mph before.
For my personal fuel trailer I built a 550 gallon trailer out of an Adam’s fertilizer buggy frame. Had the same torsion axles but bigger tires. I did have a GPI electric pump on it. I called it my personal tank because I was running the planter and I was always 5-10 miles away from where the fields ahead of me were getting worked and ready to plant. I built a small storage area on the front of it to hold extra planter parts and extra talc powder and things like that.
Arkansas is ag except on road rules for farm use. Basically if it has an orange triangle on the rear you can pull whatever you want down the road. Both of our trailers had orange triangles plus reflector strips and safety chains. | |
