- Winter proof tire tank installation part 2. There is a huge advantage to having winter water that allows livestock access to it without wading into a muddy pond. The tire tanks are indestructible and can handle extreme winter conditions. For more grazing tips, check out my books at our website: greenpasturesfarm.net.
The entertainment value of the comments is worth much more then the price of admission! lol! Can't go wrong with a Tacoma or a Honda either. I have an unfair advantage in comprehending your vision Mr.Judy. 30 plus years as an Electrician in industrial and commercial work. BTW no concrete finisher ever feared losing their job to me! Great job Ben and Isaac. You are a very real assest. Thanks.
Yes I would never make it as a concrete finisher!
Wow this tiretank will water your cattle for a long time. It's really nice to see the installation step by step.
Greg doesn't make a bad video, always something to learn or something of beauty. Keep them coming.
Just wish he could edit and splice.
A farmer has to wear many hats and here you are an engineer and an architect. Amazing what this program teaches. 🧐😊
Doesnt teach about what leaches out of that tire into the cattle. No thank you
Nothing leaches out, it is vulcanized rubber, same as a plastic glass that you drink water out of. I’ve taken numerous water samples to the lab and they detected no chemicals of any kind.
Thanks Greg! Cant wait to see pond construction videos also 😉✌️
Thanks again for your great information and instructions!! God Bless
What a beautiful way to start my day. Thanks guys!
I think you want to adopt those 2 .
A lot of farmers want to adopt them!!
Greg Judy Regenerative Rancher great job teaching them and us .
Awesome job
Do you have a video on how you trench and install the pipe?
Where is the part where you put the pipes in?
Hondas can be confusing, my Honda has a valve in the gas cap, on or off, that vents the tank to the outside. You don't want to store it vented, but when it is running, you want it vented, so a vacuum isn't created, keeping gas from flowing. Does, "On," mean the vent is on to vent air?, or is it on when it is keeping air from flowing? I never can get used to it.
What size tire you using
Why is the cedar log wall so high?
And why does it get higher around the ‘back’ side?
With the hill where the pad is, you have to make the back side higher to get a level pad
@@gregjudyregenerativerancher I don’t mind saying Greg it did puzzle me Thanks.
Are you the one that stocks the ponds with fish?
If so, maybe a video on stocking fish is in order.
Yes we stock all ponds with fish.
Shouldn’t you be sleeping especially with your busy last part of the week. Enjoy all your videos!
How do you clean the tank? I'd like to build one of these for our goats, but I'm sure they'll poop in it.
It has a 4” drain pipe in the bottom of it to drain and clean it out. With goats, make sure you use some concrete blocks to build steps out of the tank for goats that fall off into it!!!!
wont they fall off the back? you will fill it with dirt or?
also I have never seen you speak on your electricity bills -- which I can imagine are quite high! would appreciate :)
Our electric fences use no power to keep hot. I know it hard to believe but these new chargers just don't turn over hardly any Kilowatt hours on the meter. Now if you leave a steel post shorting out yiur fence for 30 days straight, the charger will use Kilowatts then.
The cattle are so mobile they just hop off the sides of the tank, they are magnificent athletes.
A normal fence charger uses about 1kw/month. 1kw cost about 12 cents or so. The cost of keeping charger plugged in all year round is $1.44. Yeah less than $1.50. That’s cheap in my book.
What keeps water from leaking between cement and tire. Did I miss something? Do they add a sealant?
The design of the tire bottom does not allow the water to seal out. We have numerous other tire tanks that have been in for 20 years. None of them leak.
Greg: what are the cedars used in the pond for? Keeping thawed?
Cover for fish
Sunk into the pond bottoms,
with a cement block(s) to provide fish cover habitats.
Where do you get your tanks from?
You might consider using lime rock. Even if the cattle walk out with it, you have limed your pasture.
I used Lime rock starting out, it lasted 1 year and was gone. At $400 a load, that is a bit pricey to be putting down every year!!
Why not pour concrete all around the tire...instead of crushed rock...rock on the underside of concrete but concrete about 4inch thick
That would work if you could get the concrete trucks into these areas. We have concrete pads on our big farm, they have done well.
What the heck you uploading videos at 3 am ???
Thats a real farmer right there.
Gotta get er done!!
@@gregjudyregenerativerancher gotta make hay even when the sun isn't shining.
George Heller no no, Greg don’t make hay. Lol
Good work by Ben and Isaac. You will lose 2 real assets when they leave.
Those bull frogs eat good too!!
That's what I was thinking. Time for a nice evening of giggin' and a delicious meal.
Even your frogs are ....faaaaatt.
