emaherx wrote: » New Project: or more accuretly combining 2 old projects. Built this water bowser last year as a temporary solution to a water problem on an outfarm. It's built on a custom pallet for bale lifter made from RSJ's. So Plan is to turn it into a complete self contained mobile solar fence and water pumping station. I plan on fencing cattle out of all streams on the farm and this mobile solution can be easily moved along with cattle when they are moved between outfarms. I just roughly threw a box together today from scrap wood that was lying around, and mounted the solar panel, I'll add some more pictures of the workings as the project progresses.

It's a submersible pump but I'm on the look out for a 12V shallow well surface type pump aswell for one out farm where I currently run a petrol generator.

Had been using the Lister nose pumps, but at the height of summer the river level would drop too low for the pumps to lift, right at the times water was needed most! I went the route of putting a pressure vessel in and a high-flow pump for quad sprayers/weed lickers instead of IBC and submersible pump, but same concept really.

It’s still a lot cheaper than most options but be careful when your handling the cables. The lock on function is non existent with cattle, your always guessing to the nearest 5-10kg ish, the slightest movement throws it off, ive no experience of more expensive scales, maybe there all the same. I got a sheet of alu checkered plate folded and welded for the platform, I used a few lengths of 9x2 screwed together for awhile, cheap but no grip

I have seen ones that wouldnt come off . Cog gets warped from all the pulling and it just gets cut off then.Www.bearingboys.co.uk would be a good place to start looking
