Setting Up Water Tank and Filling Troughs
At 17:12 in
SHE WON'T GIVE UP UNTIL SHE'S A MUDDY FARM GIRL!
What happens here
With the polybraid fence deployed, the farmer backs the tractor to a stack of galvanized steel sheets and loads them onto the front loader, then transports them to the side of the paddock. He then proceeds to drive the tractor with the front loader to the ABI Water Trailer. He unhitches the water trailer and then uses the tractor to move the large galvanized Tarter Farm and Ranch water tank from the truck bed to its designated spot within the new paddock. He mentions plans to install a float valve to automatically fill the tank from the water trailer. Finally, he connects the fire prevention hose (which doubles as a general-purpose hose) to the water trailer and uses it to fill the newly placed Tarter water tank, creating a functional water source for the cattle.
Goal: Establish a water source in the new paddock by filling Tarter tanks from the ABI Water Trailer
