I have a Ford tractor and in fact I do have a PTO driven pump but yes that hill is WAY too steep and I don't think this pump has enough lift to deal with that 20 feet or so. I am hoping the groundwater itself will be high enough. I can't wait to dig the hole AND see what it looks like in September! I found local well information and all the wells in the area report clay down to 40 feet. yellow clay then blue clay. If I can find just a small strain of sand /gravel might be it will fill it up a decent constant level. Hope so!!
