Great hands on video Greg using the equipment and parts to properly install your water tanks. It's always good to see your young men applying their acquired skills in your instruction videos. Greg Isaac, Joel and Ike are always thinking of ways to improve situations in your grazing operation. These are good young men and you are so lucky to have them!
Greg, I got my No Risk Ranching book in the mail today. Im a slow reader but Im already on chapter 4 and looking foward to the coming chapters. Thank you for all the knowledge you share. I'll see you at a grazing school soon!
We had one that did the same thing. It had a square shank on the stem of the valve. We took the handle off and welded a socket that fit the stem on a length of rod. Put a tee handle on top of the rod so we could securely open and close the valve from above ground.
That geared rod on the drill motor is intended to set the depth of the drill hole. It's handy to measure the bolt and anchor(zinc lags) before starting to drill so you won't drill too much or too shallow for your anchor zinc lags. That is why they refer to the bolts as lag bolts. I have used impact drills to set the foundation sills on houses and barns with those same types of lags and bolts When you are using a big hole saw make sure the drill has a clutch or you might just get an arm broken or worse,a smack up side the heard if it jambs and that drill whips you good.I saw it happen and it nearly happened to me using a Milwaukee Hole Hog using 5 inch hole saw. I would put the pipe handle on it to jamb between floor joist when drilling waste lines in a house to keep it from killing me. I also drilled a lot of big hole saws with a Black and Decker 1/2 inch Wolverine drill that had an adjustable clutch. I never had it try to kill me like the Hole Hog did.
You have the bosh hammer drill. Get a digging bit. Use that to loosen the soil around the valve. Dig out the loose soil with a trenching shovel and post hole digger. You'll have the gate valve exposed in short order.
Thanks for the video! Can you replace vlv handle? If so, you can make a vlv handle with a 3-D printer. I have seen a few of them already made. I think they used aluminum for the 3-D printer. I don’t know how much it cost to make because they own a 3-D printer who makes the valves.

I'm glad you got a new clean tank, and not something like a used big dirty tire.
To many people think it's fine to continue to use a dirty tanks.

That water looks so clean. I am learning that a great deal of farming has to do with water management.
Plumbing is always a challenge! Allen had issues replacing the shutoff on an old pond just last week.

Greg, would you recommend those Honda generators for a hurricane backup? Was out four days this time, just to run the refrigerator.
Nice!

Will that galvanized last as long as the other did? I have not had good luck with them.
Time will tell. With it sitting on concrete and not bare ground should help it from rusting.
