Banjo Transfer Pump | 2 In. | Electric Start | Honda GX160 205PH-5-160E.BAN

How The Electric Start Version Compares To The Recoil Start Version

Farmers and contractors choosing between Banjo's standard 2" transfer pump options usually face this question: should I get the recoil start version for a lower price, or this electric start version for push-button convenience?

Here's the honest comparison:

Why The Electric Start Version Is Worth The Investment

This isn't just a transfer pump, it's built with an electric start Honda GX160 engine, giving farmers and contractors push-button starting convenience instead of pull-starting the engine every time the pump needs to run, which adds up over frequent or repeated use throughout a season.

The 205PH-5-160E.BAN specifically addresses the needs of farmers and contractors who start and stop the pump frequently throughout the day and want to eliminate the physical effort and occasional hassle of recoil starting.

Push-Button Starting, No Pulling Required. Unlike the recoil start version that requires physically pulling a cord to start the engine every time, this electric start model starts with the push of a button, saving effort and time on jobs where the pump is started and stopped repeatedly throughout the day.

Built For Efficient, Fast Liquid Transfer

The Honda GX160 electric start engine moves liquids efficiently and fast at flow rates up to 190 GPM

The pump housing, impeller, and seals are built from durable materials suited to both water and corrosive liquids

High-strength glass-filled polypropylene construction resists corrosion across a variety of liquid types

Engineered For Dependable, Backed Performance

A limited 3-year engine warranty and 1-year pump warranty from Honda and Banjo provide confidence in long-term reliability

All stainless steel hardware resists rust and holds up to repeated outdoor use

The "V" shaped body with large weep holes supports quick, reliable priming before each use

Real Savings

Electric start reduces the physical effort and time spent starting the pump on jobs requiring frequent stop-and-start use

Corrosion-resistant polypropylene construction reduces the risk of costly pump damage from chemical exposure

The backed engine and pump warranty reduce the risk of unexpected repair costs

Free shipping and no sales tax through Summit Forge Supply keeps the total cost down compared to buying elsewhere and paying tax and freight separately

The Bottom Line Farmers and contractors who start and stop their transfer pump frequently throughout the day can't afford the repeated physical effort of pull-starting a recoil engine. The Banjo Transfer Pump with Electric Start is built with the same durable polypropylene construction and reliable Honda GX160 engine as the recoil version, plus push-button starting convenience, so it delivers dependable transfer performance with less effort on every start. For anyone starting and stopping a transfer pump repeatedly as a regular part of the work, this is the pump built to make it effortless.
