Hey all,

I'm in the final stage of setting up my highbanker, it's 10" wide by 42" long. Have been looking at the various pumps available and was wondering if the Honda WX10 (130lt) or similar would be sufficient to run it, or if I should step up to a 1.5 inch pump (200lt).

Have been trying to keep the costs down, but the pump and hose are the most expensive parts. Don't want to fall into the trap of false economy and not have the whole setup run properly.

I realise distance is a factor, but how long is a piece of string. Working on about 50 metres max with a few spots I have in mind.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

The Aussie QP154sx pump is really out standing and gives 20% more performance over the Honda WX15CX1C. Which is running at about $800 where the Aussie is running at $400. The Aussie pump is fitted with a Honda 2.5 motor. It is considered the best buy at this point in time and will fit your needs just right. cheers
