That is totally the case. There are many farms in our area that water crops with the pivot system. Also many pecan and pistachio orchards as well as many vineyards. The farmers have been drilling wells like crazy for a few years. Often two or three per pivot. They are drilling anywhere from 700 feet to well over 1000 feet. Domestic wells in my area range anywhere from 300 feet to 450 , 500 feet. Almost all wells in the 300 foot range have gone dry. Ours is 309 and our pump is set at 307' It has been an issue looked at by the state with no action taken. There was even a story on national TV about the problem Again nothing was done. It is sad to see how many homes have been abandoned with people just walking away and leaving behind all that they have worked for. We have been here foe 22 years and it would take me a couple of years to remove everything I have built and accumulated. I have been building a two axle trailer and getting a tank put on it for awhile. Now I have to find out what kind of pump and set up I need to plumb it into my home.

After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
