Those cows are going to take a quick dip in that tire pool and break all those pretty pipes and floats. Lol

Very Smart Idea on Budget

Thanks John amazing work

We have 5 water tanks set up just like this one. Can't beat it!

Great water trough, get tougher wire!

How long did it take you to dig that trench with that toy backhoe?

Seems like a trencher would have been a lot faster!

It was a 3 year trench project.

A trencher would have made easy fast work of that I would think.

great idea BUT howw do you wash it out when it gets nasty ???

Yeah..it never gets clean and the tire water taste isnt appealing to them after it heats in the sun. The only appeal is to the few cows who think it's a pool and try to fit in it to go swimming all the while breaking all the pretty plumbing inside

How does it handle winter freezing?

Hi Sally, thanks for reaching out! The tank will get ice on it just as any water source would. As long as the tank is full it will not freeze solid, however you may have to break the ice daily. On a sunny day, the black tire absorbs heat and can delay the water freezing over. The tank's close proximity to the ground also allows it to absorb some natural heat from the ground. We hope this helps!

Why didnt you use a ditch witch? Looks like a mess with that little backhoe.

Because it is a John Deere video and John Deere doesn't build a trencher.

Because John deere don't sell ditch witches silly!

Couple concerns. One being why you used a tire. Is there any possibility of chemicals in the rubber dissolving into the water? That seems like a really small “trough” for that many cows, will this be a problem on hot days? Second, why is it right under a barbed wire fence?

I can't answer your other questions, but as far as the tank being under the barbed wire, it is common to do that so the trough can be shared by two pastures, hence reducing the number of troughs required per your number of sections of pasture. I'm not for or against this, I've just seen it done many times in the past with troughs. Even the more expensive auto horse waterers folks will put them in between the fence section so they can be shared (of course this solution is more expensive, but much safer and cleaner looking for horse farms).

The trough can literally be any size if it is self filling.

Is this healthy ? lots of chemicals leach out of rubber tires.

Keep that green paint waxed. Its the most valuable part on those mini tractors.

350ft long home 2ft deep? Yeah thats worth a $45000 tractor.
