Recycled Tire Water Tank Setup #farming #cattlefarming #farmer
What happens here
The video begins with the creator introducing the project: repurposing a large tractor tire into a water trough for livestock. He points to the tire, indicating where it will be cut. He then provides context by explaining his farm's extensive water system, which includes a solar well and approximately 3,200 feet of trenched water lines across his property to support an intensive rotational grazing plan. This larger system is designed to supply water to multiple grazing areas, ensuring that the self-filling tire troughs will have a constant water source.
Goal: Understand the project's purpose and the broader water system context.
Tools and materials
- Poly Pipe — Distributing water from the well to various points on the farm
- Solar Well — Providing the primary water source for the entire farm water system
- Tractor Tire — The main component to be repurposed into a water trough
- Trencher GEHL — Digging trenches for the extensive underground water lines
- Water N/A — To be supplied to the livestock troughs
