Allan,
In the late eighties we converted from row water to center piviots. In the OK panhandle. Useing HD 800 MM on natural gas. Pullin from 280/300 ft out of the Ogalla. Open flow test pumped 850/1000gpm. ( I don,t understand his 800 dollar charge ...for sticking a pipe W/ a meter on the end of a pipe of your hydrant. , Unless there is no power sourse at the well) Anyway...These wells could handle watering 80 acres of row watered corn...then it would be able to handle 120 acre center piviot. This is the rule of thumb we used on ours. Some of the Amarillo gearheads needed to be reworked for various reasons. No wells were pulled except a couple to clean the caseing. One well was Dryiced to inprove water production.
Our Valleys were 9 tower, 1/4 milers 3 phase electris drives. Not a rotophase driven off the driveshaft.
Our wells produced 18 lbs of pressure @ the piviot We also used pressure regulators to have better uniformity all along the sprinklers . They are even better now that they were converted to LEPA.
Anyway I wonder if this well man was thinking he had a sleeper here , and thought he could slide one down on you?
Our guy would throw that test pipe up in his pickup and come test a well for almost nothing.
Be heads up on this guy. By the way you talk this guy isn't you regular well man. So be heads up in the future.
Good Luck,
John A.
