Hey Mr Ashby. Just started watching your channel. Hope youve got a tote for hauling syrup by now. I attached a male banjo coupler to the bottom of my mixing drum then to a trash pump which pumps finished syrup into tote
Still working out of two barrels. The f150 can only hold so much weight ~1,200 lbs. (Me Cori Sugar, water) which limits us to feeding 3-4 apiaries at a time before having to return home to get more sugar. Don’t like the trash pumps because they’re gas powered. I agree w Bob Binnie that the on-demand electric pumps are the way to go.
thanks for showing your setup...i enjoyed watching your approach
You’re welcome!
Great video love the pump for the feeders I’m still doing the bucket method but you have a great idea Thanks for the video
Glad to help
Hey Ashby! Does this pump need to be primed I see the hose on top goes into drum . Do you just turn pump on and good to go?
Correct. It just has a check valve but doesn’t need to be primed

@@Ashby_Farms_NC i gotcha. I dont use the trash pump for anything other than filling the tote which is in back of pickup and hooked to on demand pump
Don’t they move the unused sugar water into the honey? What percent contamination is okay? I think our honey is diluted 10%
Not really. You forget that strong colonies consume quite a bit of sugar daily for carbohydrates
Great video!!! 👍🏻
Thanks for the compliment!
What is the model of that pump?
They sell them at Agri-Supply. Flo-Jet 4.0gpm is the one I use. About $200
