    Re: [RC] hay rack water tank - Ed and Wendy Hauser


    I put two standard 35 gal. farm spray tanks on the top of my old stock trailer.  They worked great.  Because I am lazy I used 1 inch farm hose with farm quick disconnects, and ball valves.  I could fill my buckets much faster than at an ordinary garden hose cock.  For maximum ease put one valve at the tank and another at the end of the hose.  Easier when in camp than climbing up to turn on and off after each bucket.

    PS.  I also got a hand garden sprinkler head so I could run the hose into the trailer and use it as a shower.  Not bad on warm days when the sun warmed the water.  I never did get around to blackening the tank to make the water warm faster.
