[QUOTE="Ryan27, post: 95959, member: 1074"] I might investigate this a little more. I have a heap of 90mm augers in the factory. They slide perfectly inside 100mm HDPE pipe. The pipe is stable to around 160* C. You wouldn't need a lot of heat because the Auger would conduct and retain heat the longer it runs. I'm thinking a 1/3 HP motor with a reduction gear box would be enough to drive the Auger under soil load. I'm thinking a 1/3 HP motor centrifugal fan would also be sufficient. Both could be run by a 2.5 KVA genie. Hmmm? This could solve a lot of water issues in traditionally dry fields. [/QUOTE]
