[QUOTE="mobgrazer, post: 634724, member: 9043"] I have a 2 trailers and 3 sleds that hold there water, minerals, and salt. The 2 trailers are better for a larger number of cattle and the sleds are good for smaller numbers and younger cows. They have storage boxes to keep extra fence junk, tools, and parts for the floats. [url=http://www.ranchers.net/photopost/uploads/3171/trailer.JPG]http://www.ranchers.net/photopost/uploa ... railer.JPG[/url] Both of the trailers have 4 places to hold granulated goods. 3 of the bins will hold about 500 pounds and the other one will hold about 300 pounds. I made the bins out of marine grade plywood that I covered in rubber roofing material. I have one of the large bin behind the axle and the other 3 in front of the axle. They have 2 water tanks on each one. The tanks are made of a food grade plastic and hold about 40 gallons each. There located behind the axle. I have a pipe connecting the 2 tanks at the top and one at the bottom. There is a float on the one tank and a drain on the other. With freezing weather I put a hose on the drain and run the hose under the fence (my winters are not harsh). I use a 2” poly line to feed the float. The last 150’ or so that the cattle walk on is sleeved in an old 3” poly pie to help with damage off the cattle’s feet. I’m able to move these trailers with my 91 Olds Brovada all wheal drive unless the fields are soft. With soft fields I use a dooly or a 4 wheel drive tractor. The trailers are made with an old dooly axle and I use scarp I beams for a frame. The I beams sit right on the axles. I used box tubing to support the feeders and the waters. I have right at 8 inches of clearance. The sleds only have one 40 gallon tank and have 3 feed boxes that hold about 200 pounds each. I’m able to pull them with my Brovada when it’s soft but when it’s muddy I use something with more power. I use 4 old seed boxes that have augers on them to fill the bins. We use bulk goods and this makes it easy to fill them twice a week or so. [/QUOTE]
