Mobile drinker

[Bill dog]

My uncle did that, an old top loader tanker, local blacksmith attached a metal trough to it . He’s used it for 30 or so years !

Is there nothing to protect the float?

I can see a lamb getting stuck in there (they are sheep after all) and flooding the field.

That sort of drinker would be illegal in the UK connected to the mains as there is no air gap below the inlet.

Other than that it looks very robust

Plenty of things are illegal in the uk; knife crime, burglary, assault... many go unpunished . It’s about time people stopped letting the “un-policed” rules and regs limit the profitability of their business!

Not difficult to run off a header tank in many circumstances though. I appreciate not always however.

Have you not had the water company (or their employed zealot companies) inspect you then?

Neighbour had to spend over £10K putting his right and send photographic proof that he had done the same or face a much bigger fine and the prospect of water being turned off.

Far too many inspections, for all sorts of bureaucratic nonsense, dreamt up by people in suits. Depends what you show them mind

First bowser full of the season.

Small modification to help with moving the weight with the trike:

Made with wheels from a scrap industrial wheelie bin. Goes over centre to lift.

We've been using these micro troughs from kiwitech. Need to be connected to a pipe, but really simple to move through the grazing with the cattle.

Has anyone in Ireland got these Kiwitech troughs or know of anyone that has them. I would like to see them working.

The kiwi tech micro troughs are brilliant, the cattle seem to prefer drinking from them instead of the big troughs. I’d avoid the fittings, long and short of it they don’t work, you’ll end up hating them!
