[QUOTE="Kiwi Pete, post: 5902798, member: 63856"] I've seen a few portable trough designs on FB grazing groups, where they've put a hole in through the tread and put a wooden base in, sealed them up. That would work, however the ones I did at the old farm were for my "$100 piggery" project, and I put the pipe up from below,, just a tee fitting and riser, and poured concrete in the bottom third so they couldn't root it out of the ground - so this is more along those lines. For these tyres (about 16 inches wide?) I'll dig at least 6 inches deep. I've a few paddocks that I had in the back of my mind to do this, however this development just means I may put them at the ends of a run, and put hydrants in, and test another part of "the system", which ideally would have a waterer per 4 cells - but that's 1.3 troughs per acre :eek::inpain: [/QUOTE]
