Sounds to me like you are just a good businessman. There are so many variables that come into account when you put up a pivot to replace another type of irrigation. Fortunately for me one of my landlords is in the irrigation business. He is probably the best pivot man any where in this area. When you mentioned mounting a bigger motor I assume are talking about an electric motor so you obviously have 3-phase electricity to run both the well and the pivot. I much preffer this to stationary engines and generators but it only works where you have easy access to 3-phase. I would have thought that testing the well and pump output would have been one of the first things that your supplier would have done. Then the sprinkler package for the system would be computer designed around that. We use mostly low pressure systems when the change in elevation in the field will permit it. I'm curious where you are located and the size of your system. Keep us posted how it turns out.
