My wife an I are closing on our dream property the end of July. 23 acres with a 1.8 acre spring fed pond. The current owner has a pond aeration windmill. I had never heard of this before, but think is pretty cool. Unfortunately, believe it or not, the seller is taking it with him. Apparently it was an anniversary gift given to him and his deceased wife! At least that is the story I am being told.
Having said that I need to purchase a new one. I have been reading as much as I can, but still can't make up my mind which brand to purchase. The location of the current windmill is about 100' away from the pond on top of a hill. No obstructions. I have been focused on American Eagle and Koenders.
From what I can tell the American Eagle needs to be greased every year. How the heck am I going to get to the top to do that, if I can't climb it. It does not appear that is the case with the Koenders. Another concern of mine is freezing lines. The Koenders requires an anti freezing kit, the American Eagle does not. Any help would be appreciated!
