I agree with 80bjs, I'm from southern IL and we got them all over in the country around my home town and I don't think I've ever seen one of that size pump that fast. I honestly don't think I've seen the smaller ones pump that fast either.
It is crazy. I clock most of the wells in the area around 15-18 spm's. The average depth is around 3,500-3,600 ft. and still pump at near 100% efficiency.
how many gallons per hour will this unit pump??

Wouldn't be surprised. This particular pumpjack has been pumping for many years. The loud noise is the top of the polish rod hitting the horsehead.
