Do your windmills pump water?
You bet! All our windmills can pump water. We have water pumping windmills for sale and can help you size the windmill and pump correctly for your well or pond.
Do I have to pump water, or can I let it spin for the pure joy of watching it spin? If I don't pump water what happens when the wind is blowing very hard?
No, you don’t have to pump water. Our windmill is based upon the Aermotor 1933 model 702 self-regulating windmill. It will furl out of the wind and control the speed automatically. Check out our friend’s video: Windmill Speed Control video to learn more.
Do you ship your towers as a kit?
No, the wooden windmill tower needs to stay fully assembled or the wood could twist as the weather conditions change.
Do you install windmills and towers?
Yes, give us a call and we can talk about the best windmill installation options for you.
Do you sell steel windmill towers?
We specialize in crafting custom wood towers. For steel tower options, Kevin at Rock Ridge Windmills is the expert to contact.
Can I convert your windmill to make electrical power?
Water-pumping windmills turn at a slower speed, making them unsuitable for generating electricity. Unfortunately, no cost-effective conversion kits exist for this purpose.
Do I need to be located in Montana to purchase one of your windmills?
No, you do not need to be located in Montana. We have provided custom windmill solutions to customers all throughout the United States and would be happy to assist you in any location.
I like one of your projects I see on your website. Can I get the same one?
Absolutely! If you find a design you like, we can replicate the size while allowing you to personalize the project with your choice of stain colors and tail art. However, please note that we do not create exact copies, as each windmill is custom-built to reflect your unique preferences.
How long should I expect a project to take?
Occasionally, we have an 8′ windmill with a 28′ timber tower in stock for $14,500, fully assembled and ready to go. When available, it can be picked up immediately.
Typically, we build each package to suit your project. Smaller and mid-size mills take about 4 to 6 weeks, while larger projects may take 2 to 4 months, depending on timber availability. On average, expect 1 month for standard packages and up to 10 weeks for larger combinations.
