Good observation, I could do that. Just didn’t want to run wires and I have access to free outdated batteries. I was able to pump 35 gallons one day, and the battery never ran out. Also, not sure if it would be a good idea to pull very many amps off of the riding mower as the only electronics it is designed to supply are the headlights. I haven’t looked that up.
@@geterdone I use a tiny 2AH Makita battery to power my carry-around 2 gallon sprayer with a 1.2 GPM pump. The charge status LEDs don't even drop from 4 lights to 3 if I empty the whole 2 gallons. I power a 12V, 290 GPM, Harbor Freight (Drummond) pump with my Cub Cadet 1050 lawn tractor using the alligator clips that come with it. I pull a 50 gallon drum on a wagon and put down 150 gallons of water at a time on my freshly planted wildflowers 2 or 3 times a week for about a month. It's pushing 2-1/2 times as much liquid as your pump, and no problems with the alternator keeping up. You should be fine if you decide to use your tractor battery. Thanks for sharing your video.
It’s a 100 psi 12 V portable water pump for an RV and I got it on Amazon. They have an automatic pressure switch shut off. I can’t remember the gallons per minute but it’s probably three or less if you were to just let it go wide open.
Mate what in the early 2000s intros Was that... honestly loved it😂
If you are going to use it on your garden tractor, why don't you just use the starter battery for power??
