1 mile of 8" Mainline

Yesterday we put 8" mainline hose on our HC16 for the first time. We laid 1 mile of it out at Harlan, with one piece remaining on the cart. Today we have two 6" mainlines feeding a 6NHTB 19 prototype booster pump (we call her Bertha).  She is feeding our mile of 8" mainline at 135 pounds of pressure.  At the end of that mile we have another booster pump feeding the applicator and today we're applying at 1850 GPM.  The use of 8" hose in this way is eliminating a booster pump and freeing up the person monitoring it....Ben
