Thanks we also use it to water one corner of our sod field that the pivot doesn't quite reach. Couple passes in A 1 and its 1/2 inch of water. It's 2 inch pvc pipes capped off with slits cut in them

we have an old 5000 gallon tanker that we use to fill it with and the tanker has a 1 inch line that keeps it full on a float type system. the pump has quick connectors so you can pump in and out of the tank by just swapping the hoses around, 5 mins pumping vrs 2 hrs with a water hose

Like it! Do you have problems with soil compaction? I'll bet when that tank is full it is heavy.

It does compact pretty bad, i just stay in the same tracks it will shoot water about 15 feet out on each side but on a year this dry it was worth sacrificing the small area where the tire tracks compacted.
