Big rubber tire water tanks

[Lucky_P]

Yeah, that's what I thought I'd remembered about the Jobes...
The McDonalds handle trash/algae/small critters with no problem.
I haven't yet figured out how the cows manage to snap off the risers, unless they're drinking the water down real fast and grabbing the rope on the float and just pulling til they break that Schedule 80 pvc pipe. Really ticks me off when they do that...
Guess if I had the REALLY big tires, maybe they wouldn't be able to reach any of the mechanics... but with smaller combine tires, nothing's completely out of reach.

Look at the designs that puts the float in a covered upright culvert pipe outside of the tire. Mine is probably 20 ft away on the other side of a fence.

KT,
Do you have a link you could post?
I can't quite envision what you're describing, but it sounds like it would solve the issue for me.
Thanks

Lucky_P, we made a ring of cattle panels and put it in the tire tank. It gives the cows about a 12-18" ring of water but keeps them out of the tank.

So the taxpayers will even buy you a tank to water your cows? I guess its time for us to get on the government tit.

You still didn't get it. Not sure why my link won't work.

Lucky_P, I can forward you the email that has the design but it seems that no way in he'll I can create a link here for it.

True Grit, I bought my tire tanks myself. $1,025 each. No giverment money. Just in case you wondered. Drilled two wells and installed 5 solars with my own $$$.
