Water Buffalo

[WarCloud]

Anyone got a water tank trailer they'd like to be rid of? Need an emergency water trailer for the ranch.

If you find one, expect to pay over $1K if it can handle potable water. I bought one on GL for $909 (plus tax and the 10% fee). I also bought one retail for $1,200.

I bought one for $5 through DRMO (pre-GL). But it had a hole in the tank, and it was pretty rusty.

Theres one near me for $400.00 its near Antonito Co

Does it need to be potable? If not, you might also consider a M105 trailer and 600 gallon fuel pod. Several have been going through GL at Fort Riley.

Get a M105 and a plastic tank a lot cheaper.

Good points!

But not as high of a cool factor.

I don't know, sometimes having a lot of extra cash in your wallet is pretty darn cool!

I know the clock is ticking but do you know something we need to know WarCloud?

Use 275 gallon IBC containers. They are used in food processing @ fruit plants, used for road paint, etc. Once cleaned....they are excellent.

They fit in the back of a standard pickup truck/small trailer.

You can get them for $70 bucks a piece....

That's what I use to carry water around on my farm. Sometimes you'll find them that's had some pretty nasty stuff in them but I've cleaned them and while I wouldn't take a drink the livestock don't seem to mind .

I have an m103a3 flatbed gen trailer I might consider selling in Denver. Grab it drop on a couple of potable tanks and you are good to go.

Don't you love this site a relively new guy needs something he gets great advice and another relatively new guy offers a great answer. Welcome to the site both of you and I am sure you will find that this is a great site every day you get more out of it.

Thanks for the welcome. I finally got tired of lurking when I finally found my 715. Now I just need a deuce............

i like the IBC containers they are light and plastic they do not cost a lot $50 so they are not 400 gallons but two of them are over 400 gallons and under $100 you don't have a dedicated trailer for water the IBC will fit nicely in a deuce bed or any flat bed!!

and you are right COWS don't care as long as they get water they drink it

Looks like to me that would be a problem dropping water on the livestock with that thing.

You were talking about the plane, right?
