    Flat face style couplers.... garbage or somthing else?

    Originally I thought it was the manifold main seal leaking as all but one of the bolts was fairly loose, but it was not that. If I can get the correct adapter as the one end is a bit strange...... I will just put the standard quick couplers on since they seem to work alot better. I'm guessing...

    Flat face style couplers.... garbage or somthing else?

    I unhooked and reattached a couple times yes.... tried everything I could think of to help them out and they just keep leaking. They look fine... the irony is in my life I have never had one of the standard quick couplers leak like that... the normal amount on attaching and removing but that's...

    Another post about the old perkins t6.354.4

    I posted about this engine many times before due to it's buring oil and wanting to spray oil out the dipstick. Part of that was the starters on these are terrible outdoors and this is an irrigation pump... so before we got it the dipstick had been broken off and repaired which I assumed it was...

    Dealing with irrigation pressure loss over distance and hills.

    Well the 3500gpm would be amazing on a frost night when I need to run alot of strawberry fields at the same time. For that my main line has 2 pumps totaling 2000GPM+ and a couple smaller stand alones. Also 160 psi still would only get me like 90 at the furthest points.

    Dealing with irrigation pressure loss over distance and hills.

    Most standard irrigation pumps seem to run up to 150psi and even at that level I can't open valves at lower parts of the farm because of the force. It's only irrigation guns or reels that need the booster though. I can make the pressure I need without it but the RPM of the diesel engine needs to...

    Dealing with irrigation pressure loss over distance and hills.

    It's good information, what I'm currently doing does work so I'm good with that. If there was no outputs near the source I could probably go with a higher pressure pump but as it currently is I already occasionally strip out valves from the force needed to open them down there.

    Dealing with irrigation pressure loss over distance and hills.

    I have somthing similar for a greenhouse system, supply line can only take 40 psi and I need 90 at the end. So supply pump makes 40 and secondary bumps it up. Much smaller obviously lol. With so much dry conditions and so much watering I'm trying to save fuel and engine wear. So this way it's 2...

    Dealing with irrigation pressure loss over distance and hills.

    The 70psi is actually at the start of the reel I meant in the end of the line as in the start of the reel. It's a reel so only a couple hundred gallons per min which is nothing for the 1000 plus gpm pump but pressure loss is just sooooo bad. But some places can be as far away from the pump as...

    Dealing with irrigation pressure loss over distance and hills.

    I'm not sure how many other farmers have this issue but on our farm a big irrigation problem is pressure loss over distance. We are on a hill so from the pump to the highest point is like 60-70ft high. 6 inch underground irrigation pipe, no issue running sprinklers and lots of them as they...

    Everything is such trash these days.... humanity has to figure a better model than building stuff as trash so that it breaks and another unit can be sold so that the business continues to exsist

    Farmer with HVAC knowledge?

    I'm sure some of you fellow farmers have dealt with many types of hvac units, especially thoes with rental properties... anyone ever run into the issue with a heat pump (specifically daikin) having a board failure and will always ramp down to idle a few mins after starting and just stay at...

    M5n-091 Error "ENG P-204B"

    I'm not sure what it means and how to fix it but my tractor was working fine, just started it again on this cold day and I get this error as well as the symbol for regen with a ! Across it as well as a countdown timer. It's odd because that last part usually refers to low DEF but it's full...

    M5n-091 loose loader joystick

    Anyone know how to adjust the amount of play/dead zone on a kubota loader joystick? I'm guessing there is a way to get rid of the cable slack? My bucket tilt is fine but the up and down is a huge dead zone. I was actually plowing snow earlier and wherever keeps it tensioned slipped again so...
