John deere owners will recognize.
Slight drippy drip from the backend filter, hardened o rings seemed to be the problem. Good thing it dripped, the clip holding the hose in was past it best, bottom one is the suction side, top one is the pressure side.
Cheap and easy to do but if the clip breaks and the hose pops out you are kind of boned as you empty the backend right quick fast in a hurry. Stupid design.

Swap them over and you'll be just fine for another 1000hrs! ;)

Had digger man in last week but I didn’t have any pipe the right size so left it for hand dig.

Very old 6 inch clay tiles that didn’t want to come out in one piece. Just breaking up resulting in a lot of extra digging to make sure bottom half was all gotten out. Of 33 metres I think I got 3 tiles that came out in one piece.

Somebody else, probably long gone obviously didn’t have any correct sized pipe either so made do with a length of 8” sewer pipe with 4” tiles within it:ROFLMAO:

Not the straightest but just following what was there before;)

Looks like it's flowing well!

It is now. Water backed up to where digger stopped digging so then went to investigate where outfall was. Completely submerged by trees felled by beavers that had washed up, gathered all the straw and other crap that comes down the river & silted up over the pipe.

Should probably have started at that end first but there was 3 or 4 collapses at the other end so started investigating there first.

The guys at the solar farm where I did a bit of work last week offered to load me with the frames from a couple of the old inverters so that I could take them for scrap and keep the proceeds. They’ve got a roro skip on site so my assumption was that as these are mostly air they don’t want to fill up the skip so I doubted that it would be worth my while

As I drove home £408 better off I decided that it was much better to be like @Hfd Cattle than the cynical bar steward that I nearly was

I'd of been saving that channel might come in for something.
