Hillside vineyard managers and steep terrain graziers operate the Aussie Brigade Boss (QP310SX/L100E) electric start diesel extra high head pump to push water up high elevation slopes to remote summit header tanks. The extra high head impeller profile generates elevated pressure to defeat line resistance over long pipe runs. Diesel fuel efficiency allows uninterrupted operation across whole-day water transfer schedules.
High head water delivery achieves a maximum delivery rate of 700 L/min and develops a maximum elevation head of 70 m. Internal hydraulic architecture features a marine grade aluminium casing, a closed aluminium high head impeller, and a carbon ceramic mechanical seal with nitrile elastomers. Total equipment mass is 105 kg in standard operating trim.
Mechanical drive is provided by a Yanmar L100 10HP electric start diesel engine (battery supplied separately) producing 10 HP. Plumbing connections incorporate 3" BSP male inlet & 3" BSP male outlet, and the self-priming wet end achieves 8 m vertical suction lift. Rapid self-priming internal dynamics pick up fluid swiftly without requiring manual foot valves on suction lines.
Structural fully welded steel roll frame with battery mounting tray encloses the equipment while isolating mechanical vibration and simplifying site movement. The structural mount provides balance during transport across field vehicles, trailers, and utility trays. Complete spare parts support and factory technical documentation are accessible through Aussie Pumps distribution networks across Australia.
