So . . . we got our barn set up before winter last year that we can feed all the cattle inside, and water tanks inside. Heaters in the tanks. But running the hoses from either an on-demand hydrant or an over-flow hydrant, and keeping the hoses ice-free is a pain in the butt -- drain them every time, hang them so they drain. Garden hoses. Have any of you tried the heated hoses? The reviews I've seen on them are pretty mixed. Like, they work fine for awhile and then leakage issues. And they are not inexpensive. Your thoughts? Have you tried them? Recommend any brand?
