Yarp, still waiting for me to find some time, at least it's in my barn now.
Commer TS3 Horsebox / Campervan.
So, I've owned this for nearly twenty years, but it's finally out of dry storage, and finally for the first time in my life I have enough ground to put it on. I call her Josephine, 1963 Commer Horsebox, saved in 1999, and about 15 years ago I took out the inclined six cylinder petrol and found...

Just caught up with and scanned through this thread and all sounds interesting if a bit over the top.
To get an idea of pump sizes water flows, power requirements etc. ask a veg. or potato farmer (but not jezza!
). Come summer time they will be out irrigating vast areas of crop with big computerised rain guns on sledges pulled along with big bore hose reels usually powered by static engines.
Looking forward to pictures of the finished product in action.
Edit. Thinking about it I would imagine that the irrigation companies Web sites will probably have guidance on this.

thats pretty impressive example of how much pressure must be in the water system and i am right in thinking thats just the weight of the water in the water towers we see dotted about the countryside they dont use pumps to pressurize the system do they ?
and ive made progress i was stuck for a propshaft to connect the engine to the pump, ive found one now just got to drive into wales to collect it but im snowed in lol, should have some pics of progress at the weekend

Set square, 45⁰. If it's held vertical and you're looking along the 45⁰ line, the height is the same as your horizontal distance. It's why axes have the end of the handle end cut at 45⁰, so tree feller can see where it'll come down. Maybe.
well you learn something new every day lolSet square, 45⁰. If it's held vertical and you're looking along the 45⁰ line, the height is the same as your horizontal distance. It's why axes have the end of the handle end cut at 45⁰, so tree feller can see where it'll come down. Maybe.

I learned that in the boy scouts, along with how to tie a double bowline, which I can't remember ever coming in useful and I forgot how to do almost immediately!
They do use pumps to pressurise systems, as well as reservoirs.
well not much to report really, ive been waiting for some laser cut flanges so i can make the outlet pipes but they dident show up but i did go and fetch the propshaft so i can finish mounting the engine and pump in the frame, if i dident keep getting distracted by the unimog i would have got further lol
