It'll only be serving 54. I did consider making it a dual trough, side by side, but thought I didn't need to for the number of cattle and it would get too heavy.
Is the tank bunded for the road? Looks well made. It just needs a hydraulic system to raise the tank for transport (unless it already has one but I can't see it).
Indeed.
That is a 5000 litre static tank, yes I would have to empty it to move it but I haven't moved it for 3 years and don't plan to either, the mobile tank with baffles was a lot more expensive.
My tank has distorted with moving it full of water and being a static version
Looks good,I think you must have an endless supply of Red oxide primer
and gloss coat.
How do you get around the issue with them not being able to be connected to a mains supply?Kiwitech troughs are the business.
I use one of these with upto 80 dairy cows and it keeps up. They are very well built, and have the best float design I have seen.

I also use the micro troughs on groups upto 40-50 but I dont think they are suitable for sheep.

I have about 4 permanent troughs on 170ac, and so often have 300m+ of pipe attached, and upto 600m. I just leave 150m lengths where they are needed - 25mm MDPE is quite cheap
Water tank on a hill presumably. Think he has one or two of those. Hills, that is.

tank on top of a big hill, all gravity fed. Cows are about 1m below the bottom of the tank tonight, but a short run of pipe and an excellent full flow valve design means flow is still pretty good. In summer I do tend to run two, mainly as there is quite a lot of use as the cows come back to the paddock, and it stops the bulls hanging around the trough pissing all the cows off.
As above
but if you connect to the mains, who's to know
