[QUOTE="Craig-TX, post: 50472, member: 39"] Amen to that and thanks for the ideas folks. I've tried the water weld (which is usually a great product) but it wouldn't hold due to the sloughing. Wasn't the product's fault. Couple of other good ideas above. Either way, I know what I'll be doing this weekend. Ha. BTW, for those rare times when you need to drain a big trough, the cows are somewhere else, you don’t have a generator or gas powered pump handy… The fastest way I’ve figured out is to siphon with the hose off a shop vac. Submerge the entire hose so it’s full of water, hold your palm over one end and lay it on the ground. It will pull a big trough down pretty fast till you get down to the sump. Then it comes to having a little patience and a big grain scoop. Haven’t figured out a faster way to get the crud out yet. I’m getting pretty good at all of this. Dang it. Craig-TX [/QUOTE]
