Got carried away at an online auction and bought this rusty case unseen.
Feeling a little deflated I got a local company to paint it, 4800hrs, generous spec of 2x auxiliary lines, auxiliary pump and a prolec system.
Really happy with the outcome it’s now going to have to earn its keep

What did it do previously to make it so rusty? Looks brand new now.

It strikes me that ditch remediation must be a very satisfying job in the quieter winter months.

If it gets the water flowing the right way, it's one of the most satisfying jobs on the farm I find.
