Croplands US500/FF1 Fire Fighting Rig - 500 Litre Capacity - Honda GX160 Engine
Overview
This Croplands US500/FF1 is a compact, self-contained Water transfer unit designed for remote site irigation operations, agricultural applications, . The 500 litre polyethylene tank provides substantial capacity whilst maintaining portability via the integrated carry handle and wheeled base frame. The Honda GX160 petrol engine powers a reliable fuel transfer pump, making this unit ideal for contractors, farmers, and fleet operators requiring mobile fuel management without mains power dependency.
The unit combines practical engineering with robust construction. The white polyethylene tank resists UV degradation and corrosion, whilst the red powder-coated hose reel stores approximately 50 metres of delivery hose. The integrated fuel pump system includes manual nozzle control and pressure regulation, allowing precise fuel transfer at variable flow rates. The galvanised steel frame provides structural integrity and longevity in field conditions. This is a workhorse machine built for reliability and ease of operation in demanding environments.
Comparable Croplands fuel bowsers of this capacity and vintage trade in the AUD 2,800 to 3,600 range depending on condition and hours. This example represents solid value for buyers seeking a proven, field-ready fuel transfer solution with genuine Honda reliability backing the engine package.
Condition
The unit presents in honest working condition consistent with field deployment. The white polyethylene tank shows minor surface weathering and light discolouration typical of outdoor storage, with no visible cracks, splits, or structural compromise. The tank capacity markings (50 to 500 litre graduations) remain clearly legible on the side panel. The red hose reel is mechanically sound with approximately 50 metres of black delivery hose wound neatly and secured. The hose shows normal field wear with no visible splits or leaks observed. The Honda GX160 engine bay is clean and well-maintained, with clear badging and no evidence of major leaks or modifications. The fuel pump assembly and manual nozzle operate smoothly. The galvanised steel frame and base plate show minor surface corrosion and light rust patina consistent with age and outdoor exposure, but the structural integrity is sound. All attachment points are secure and functional. The carry handle is intact and operational. Overall, this is a well-used but properly maintained fuel transfer unit ready for immediate deployment.
