I think you will get 1200 gpm. You will find that pumping more than 1200gpm becomes less economical. Takes too much hp and bigger pipe.
Our pump is at 350' and at the highest point, the pivot is 100' higher than the well. So we're pumping water 450' vertically. If your well isnt as deep, and you ground isnt as hilly as ours, 150hp might pump more water. 1400 maybe.
