[QUOTE="Bret, post: 96446, member: 703"] I have a one hole Ritchie that I mounted on a small two level wedding cake type concrete platform. I also cemented in a simple steel suround that sets just above the Ritchie Waterer so the cattle can't actually rub on the waterer. I chose the one holer for my small herd to keep things simple and in action through the winter. It is heated. I keep a replacement part for everything. In three years I have replaced a float once, a plastic valve once and short heat tape that drops down the riser once. Only one freeze up due to the heat tape burning out. I thawed it out with a 1200 watt hair drier in a minute. Replaced the heat tape in a half hour. I could have replaced the heat tape faster in the summer but they rarely burn out when the weather is in the hight 90's. On the other hand(no pun intended), I don't get frost bite in the summer either. [/QUOTE]
