Those small portable gas engine powered pumps (and pretty decent CFM in a big hose/pipe) arent too expensive buttttttttttt look at its cost versus if you will ever use it again or look at the rental cost if this is a one time project or maybe you already own one?????
The smaller CFM electric pumps (kinda like a sump pump) arent too expensive (MUCH cheaper then a gas) but thats gonna take a much longer time (depends on CFM) to pump a lot of volume...
Id say it depends on what you already own???????The rental cost of a gas unit??????? If you can buy a cheap electric or a more expensive gas powered BUT IS IT ANY USE TO YOU IN YEARS TO COME???
I just cant say sittin here, too many unknowns, cost,,,,,,,,how much use in future,,,,,,,,,CFM,,,,,,Total gallons,,,,,,,,rental cost,,,,,,,,,BUTTTTT a cheap electric sump pump type wont set you back much
You mention SOLAR,,,,,they make small 12 VDC pumps but thats awful low CFM, will take forever to drain a pond maybe????? ALSO that would require a decent sized and expensive battery bank and solar panels THAT SOUNDS EXPENSIVE AND OVERKILL TO EVER DRAIN A POND TO ME
I think Id run to the local rental shop and rent a big gas powered pump n be done with it, an electrric powered AC pump would do the trick also, is there AC power close by????

As simple as a box plow appears, it can be rather challenging to make work correctly. In our sandy soils of Florida, traction is king. You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U
