Thanks for teaching us the drinker build👍. Been patiently waiting for the feeder build.

Up next.

I like your attitude on using/not using a square. I have built many a feeder and waterer with no measuring tools. Saves time and the livestock could care less.

Thanks Jordan, thanks for your solid info and sharing. I'm running 20 pigs at the moment.

Jordan, this couldn't of come at a better time. Working on building 7 paddocks for rotational grazing and using pig to clear the land. Thank you for all your valuable inputs and ideas.

Nice work...nice explanation. (I am amazed you only have 700 views of this!) I will share this with my other pig raising friends!

Great workmanship, simple design executed with precision. Good job 👍

Really appreciate you showing how you build the drinker.

Just built 2 myself they are working great. Use them for my goats and pigs

Thanks. Very helpful. Doing very similar things south of you a few hours.

Great video! These are awesome. I built a few myself. Had to cut the top bar out of one to make the opening bigger so one of my large boars could get his big fat head in!

Great video! We are doing a couple of small modifications to it for use with our sheep - thank you for sharing your knowledge Jordan

AWESOME VIDEO AS ALWAYS GOOD SIR... QUESTION? How do you stop the ladies from chewing on the air hose?

Make a vid about your waterline system

Great Video! Very informative!

Great video.... once our piglets get too big for the nipple drinkers on our 55 gallon barrel this is what is next for us, thx for the info

Great professional job as always Marine! Todd

Thank you building one tomorrow for my pigs they keep dumping there water every day .this will stop that

Excellent video

THANK YOU!

wow great video!!!!

Always,Keep it up 👍 ❤ frm Nagaland.

May I please ask what pigs you raise on pasture? I’m thinking of moving south and start a small enterprise of it. Happy new year and thank you for your service.

Great video explanation, THANKS. How do you water your smaller pigs/piglets? Tim

We need the DIY feeder build video!

Likely the next one.

have you tried running the float valve from further back in the tank from the sow head hole so they cant reach it to break it?

The advantages are in the practical long-term cost-effectiveness.

Jordan I totally understand you when you say ''too remedy bellyfloping'' I have the same problem lol I have a question for you do you think this system would work with gravity feed water like a coupel of Ibc tots higher up a hill

@FarmBuilder

3 жыл бұрын

Sure. As long as there's enough elevation to flow the water in.

I wonder if you should keep the plastic you cut out attached at the top so the pigs cant see or get to the float in the back.

Hi Jordan, thank you for excellent videos, lots of useful information and great ideas, including these drinkers. But do you have an easy way to clean them? (I'd imagine a few sows would make a real "pigsty" in the drinker in no time)... Thanks.

Once a month or so we hose them out at the move time. open the valve on the bottom to drain.

thanks you for the lecture. how do you control worms(TAENIA SOLIUM) on that free range . thanks

Hello - we raise black pigs in France. Of course we are always looking for better ways of getting water to them! How long have you had these in use? Do the pigs manage to get into the water? how do you deal with smaller pigs (we have all ages together - at the moment). Have you thought of having more than one opening? Looking forward to your feedback.

Curious bout the old tires in te end of video. Ive got some old tires layin around so if i can repurpose them for my pigs i can

Great job, sir. Any issues with algae? Just wondering if painting the water totes black would prevent buildup.

@FarmBuilder

Жыл бұрын

We drain them out every couple moves. I've painted some tanks black but the sun burns the paint of in a couple years.

This looks great. Could you possibly cut it in half and thereby make two? Also how often do you need to flush it out and when you do, does that not create a wallow next to the tank?

@FarmBuilder

Ай бұрын

Wouldn't work well to cut in half, the top is not the same as the bottom and they would jump in. We flush when we move them.

Wow

i imagine it loses cleanliness fairly quickly but the design looks like it may be harder to clean. What's the advantage of this over an open trough?

what is the fitting called on the torch that you are heating the plastic with?

great quality production on this video but the music was about 50% too loud

Where is a kid when you need that third hand.

Tried that pigs kept pushing it around digging underneath then the water pipe fitting broke and the pigs got what they wanted a pool of mud

Hows the algee growth in the summer?

Do you think its possible to make a cross cut in the existing plastic. Then fold it over and drill some holes and attach it with zip ties rather than using pvc? Also protection for the top and sides?

Hey Jordan! Just wondering if it’s important to get food grade IBCs?

@FarmBuilder

2 жыл бұрын

I don't. Just rinse well.

Where do u get food grade totes, as I would not want chemical totes

Why not put the fill tube further back so they can't reach it?

@farmbuilder how do you modify this for the winter months, or do you use a different setup?

@FarmBuilder

5 ай бұрын

We use the winter drinker, there's a video on the channel for that.

21:00 can I send you a nut driver? 😂

birds go in ? mosquito breeding grounds ? open water source brings in un wanted critters and larva.if they not drink on it for a bit of time with a good rain they drink it at times. winter freezze ? just wonder if you had any of that occur.

We rinse them out periodically. We don't use them in sustained below freezing weather.

Would a typical plastic 55 drum be adequate for only two feeder pigs from say 2 months old to 6 months old?

@FarmBuilder

Жыл бұрын

Should be.

IBC tote uses are only limited by one’s imagination, I’m sure.

Really great build and instructions. Thanks! But, wouldn't it be better to incorporate these ideas to a 55 gallon water barrel instead? You wouldn't need all that heavy equipment to make the thing. It would hold about 8 to 10 gallons at any time. With the auto refill system that should be enough to water at least 40 pigs in the summer and if you have more pigs it would still be cheaper to have three barrels than buying one IBC tote. It just doesn't seem rational to spend $300 on an IBC tote that you can only fill 25% full. Hell, you could use a large 50 gallon water troth, put it on a pallet, build a frame out of wood and attach it to the pallet that can be designed to keep the pigs off the pallet/ froth with a wooden ceiling to keep stuff out of it and insert that water refill system. And with that you could easily move it around with an extra light tractor or Kubota or whatever that has pallet forks on it

@FarmBuilder

Good points but we've tried all that and each has shortfalls. We have multiple machines with forks and they are a regular tool in our movement evolutions. For someone that doesn't have a machine they of course will have to adjust. Around here we can get the IBC for $50.
