PUMP
This unit used a MIG-30 centrifugal pump with 333 gallons a minute of flow and 72 P.S.I. of pressure. This pump was designed specifically for hydro seeding. The housing material is cast and it is very low maintenance. There are no grease fittings and the only maintenance required is to winterize if at the end of the season if it is stored where temperatures go below freezing. The pump impeller mounds on the end of the engine shaft so there is no power loss. Typically it can operate for 5 to 10 years with no maintenance. The only thing to be careful of is to not run it dry.
ENGINE
This unit comes with a 13 H.P. Honda electric start engine. This has proved to be a very reliable engine with a long life. The engine has a two year warranty and service for the engine is available
HOSE
This unit comes standard with 100 ft of 1 1/4″ I. D. hose. The hose we use is both strong and light weight. It is made from a poly material with a spiral reinforcement. Additional hose is available in 50 feet or 100 feet sections. The unit will handle up to 200 feet of hose.
BALE TRAY
This unit comes equipped with a bale tray that is molded into the tank. The opening is 16″ with a hinged fill lid. The bale tray makes it easy to add mulch and other materials with a minimum of spillage. Minimizing wasted material can add up to big savings over time.
