Nice wee set up there JW. I am interested in your 2inch suction nozzle set up to run your high banker.
What size motor and pump are you running. Is the pump a Keene type pressure pump or a trash type pump.
And what size is your pressure hose to the suction head. I see you have a blaster nozzle in use. Is that to supply water
for dry land dredging, cant quite make out whether it is hand held or attached to your suction head.

I am in the process of working out what I need to order from Keene to convert my Goldbanker (The Gold Cube) to suction fed.
I am going to have to lift quite a bit higher than you though. And I will be dry land dredging. So its either have another pump
to supply pond water, or use a system similar to yours. Maybe even get a Hydroforce nozzle made up here in NZ. They are after all only a modified suction nozzle. Any info would be appreciated. My days of dredging are now over, had a 5 inch Keene Triple, a Four inch, a couple
of 6 inch suitcase dredges and an 8 inch Keene Underwater.

Now I just want to go back to small stuff from a hobby point of view.
