[QUOTE="Train, post: 287193, member: 1011"] sidney411 your dumb! Well you asked for it. Seriously though, here's how I do it. If some one knows a better way please let me know. I just came up with this on my own after seeing one at a trade show. They wanted huge money for these, I'm making mine for about 75 bucks. I use old loader tires from a local sand and gravel pit. Cut the sidewall off one side. I use a sawzall with a wood blade, and actually leave just a couple inches on the sidewall, I think it leaves a little more strentgh. Now I lay the sidewall on a piece of old plastic,good side up.( to protect my shop floor) When you look at the bead it's about 2 inches thick with a slight bevel. Now I take 6 inch alluminum flashing and staple it to the inside of the bead. This gives me a slightly bigger diameter at the top. Next I take 8 inch plastic pipe,30 inches long and stand it in the middle. Now I fill the around that with 5 bags of premixed cement and add a couple of hooks in it made out of rebar. I let mine sit a couple days, lift with a front end loader and knock off the tire and flashing. Cut a hole near the bottom of the plastic stack just big enough for a plastic bulkhead. I use the 1/2 inch fitting. Add a valve to it. Use a float attached to a chain so the cows can't break it off. Now put your tire in place, set the concrete plug in the hole and silicone it around the perimeter. I let mine set 2 days. Fill with water and there you go. I love these. They're as tough as @#ll and heavy. The cows can rub on them and not wreck em. Hope that helps, it sound like a lot more work than it is. Train [/QUOTE]
