Other than the battery, it might be the charging system not managing to top it up. With engine at normal revs, you should see 13.8 to 14.4V across the battery (for normal lead acid) Or have you been topping it up with a charger, and it still has starting ussues?

Ian, did you compact the backfill as you added it. The best practice is to use concrete backfill and cap over the tank with reinforcement to prevent the tank popping out of the ground if the tank water is low and there's very heavy rainfall. Maybe your ground is free draining so you might be OK? Anyway, very nice project and another step closer to being self-sufficient 👍

Over the years I’ve seen many female plant operators and they’ve been brilliant. Very light handed. Gives you time to do the mucky crap. I’m sure she would be brilliant, IF you can boost her confidence. Even though it is a small machine to us, it is a monster to new operators.

You should be using the tractor or digger to pull that container. It would pull it across the grass with little to no effort. The zip line is entirely too complex for a 130kg empty water container. As you probably realize now, you could have just used the tractor to pull it into the hole instead of using the elaborate rigging.

The site is quite sloppy which does not come across on camera so moving this cumbersome tank with the machine would have been more trouble than it was worth. The rope was to stop it dropping heavily into the hole, I could drag it in without the tractor but there are only two of us so the rope was for safety.

You plan was a bit elaborate...we did the same......we put a 600l black plastic tank in for spare water for our pool (now gone).........I made a sling from rope and we just positioned it on the edge.....then lowered it over the edge and slowly moving the tractor forward.....it went slowly down into the hole...until settled. We filled it and then I ordered gravel (10 mil) and slowly but surely filled to just over halfway.....then finished off with the local clay.

I once delivered concrete to a ten thousand litre tank in the ground.....I remember the crew (Paddies) had done everything by the book.....the container was more than 3/4 filled with water and we started gently pouring concrete around it...slowly slowly, by the book (even the 'engineer' was there to watch.....the concrete came up and up and at the, just over 3/4 point there was a huge 'fart' and then from the tank hole came a huge blow off (submarine blowing ballast!!! ...or whale like) and a plume of water as the tank split and the concrete filled the container....we were later vindicated as the insurance company found a weak area in the tank and that had given way......I learned that day, that concrete is heavier than water and will displace it given the chance. (the Romans knew this 2000 years ago)....they invented pilings in water.@@HomesteadingUncontained

@Homesteading Uncontained Oh yeah with your Chinesium little digger I would also suggest that you half the usual runtime maintenance schedule that the book states. For example if the book states that you run the digger for 500 hrs between servicing like replacing filters, oil etc then I would cut that time down to half because the digger is not an industrial machine, it will wear out quicker so if you are regularly servicing it then you'll keep ahead of any future maintenance issues that might crop up. Doing this you can avoid issues with hydraulic hose cracks or worn hoses plus you will end up making your digger last twice as long as it normally would last for. Everything is designed for a short lifespan so that the customer returns to purchase a replacement within 2 years or less.

Congratulations both. Job well done. Ian my machine is also very hard to start, worse than yours. Sounds like the starter motor is trying to eat itself. Turn over very slow.on the key then speeds up, after about 20 secs it speeds up (open pressure building?) and eventually fires. The jump pack is required unless I've been using the machine alot during the day. Maybe the battery supplied is poor?

Buying from Alibaba website is fully protected. So after a certain time your money will be refunded if you have not received the item. But always do your research on the company your choose - look for their rating and any comments. I bought again from the same company direct without this protection and all went fine.

Water tank why are you burying it? Thought it was sewerage by the shape and wide opening on top. My water tanks under the eves and the other on the hill. All very odd.

I think that European gardens are quite small, so they tend to bury the tanks to minimise space usage. So the BIG surface mounted tanks are quite rare and expensive. Plus this tank keeps the water freezing cold in summer and it will not freeze in winter.

Not to play armchair quarterback, but you could've simply moved the tank in front of the hole, then tied a rope to one end, and pulled it into the hole with the tractor. .

I just didn't want it to drop in over the edge and crack - not heavy but cumbersome.
