[QUOTE="PostHarvest, post: 7978040, member: 1570"] I expect that the cost of getting a one off steel plate rolled into a barrel and buying a pair of dished ends as one offs will make you wince. The likes of Hi-Spec, Red Rock etc will probably make or buy in a batch of parts at one time and spread the set-up costs over a number of units. Buying in a single axle, vacuum pump or PTO shaft will also be expensive unless you can find good second hand parts somewhere. The volume producers will place an order for say 250 axles a year to be delivered at 25 each month. I'd be very surprised if building your own will be any cheaper than buying a ready made tanker.
