    Hi guy. I know there's a few threads on water to cattle but I have a few specific questions.
    building a IBC water on frame and axle. frame built with 1000 litre cube ready to sit on. question is
    can the tanker gravity feed a ball cock on a 30/40 gallon drinker/trough? ie is the pressure enough to open this as someone told me today to get a low pressure one?
    and
    is a 40 gal double drinker hanging of the back, (200kgs thereabouts to much ) what has anyone else done. drunker in question similar to attached pic, thanks418862.png

    Yea a low pressure ballcock doesn'nt need as much pressure to open it also has a bigger outlet and more forgiving for specks of dirt in the IBC .
    40 gal hanging on the back will mean that the axle has to be well back or a stand on the back as it'll tip when the IBC is empty and the tank full.

    A 30gal trough would prob be big enough. Fit a simple leg stand at the back in the middle of the trough and one on drawbar that xan be dropped and will stop any fear if it toppling up.

    Should work .
    I would put two adjustable legs at the back and a screw down leg at the front for stability.

    Get one free f the black ibc tanks , they stop the light better and stop green crap growing

    I have similar setup but ibc about 2 feet off ground and trough on ground. Works fine but flow is slow. Depends on how many drinking out of it.
