    I wish there was video of the new pond build and water line install. Later using a trencher? to run the line out to the tire and how that comes up into the tire. I guess you have other lines running to other possible tiretank sites also? As always, thanks for the invaluable education. Water install is the #1 infrastructure that is hard to record the whole process, kinda leaving me in mental limbo on how best to accomplish this foremost important task best ✌️

    I thought you said that you always fill the entire bottom with concrete, otherwise it won't completely drain and water will lay in the sidewall. Still trying to figure out what seals it so it doesn't leak. Just trying to plan this all out so I can install some. Thanks for the video, can't wait to see the rest of the install.

    We use tires from mining equipment & cut them in half & bury them in the ground w/ 12" to 16 " exposed . Never have to bank them & small calves can drink as calving is in May/ June . Use a round bale feeder to keep cattle out of tanks . It takes 2 bags of bentonite & 14 bags concrete . Fill it up w/ 6" water over the center . There is a 3" overflow w/ pee valve . I also have a smaller tank w/ a heat chimney & drink holes w/ a top & have No problem w/ winter watering
