Please reconsider using this due to the possibility of chemicals from the tire leaching into the water, especially when exposed to heat and sunlight 😬 Wire ingested by cattle from the tire can also lead to the potentially fatal hardware disease.
We have clients in extreme cold that take the culvert in the center down deep to ground source heat, put a cover across 80% of the trough, and if you have larger numbers of livestock on the trough it keeps fresh water cycling often. Most report it remains open up to -25 F
This is awesome! Can you share the details?
Could you explain how you done this?
Will be posting a follow up video soon with more design specs of a similar system
@@Ranching4Profit update??
Is this on a float? If cows don’t use that tank, that day then it runs over your tank edge and makes an ice rink.
Fish tank heaters work well also. With out PEX pipe, everything will freeze here.
Ingenious
So..what did use to spray water underneath to prevent it from freezing? How would you do this if you have no electricity where your watering area is?
There is no electricity here. Just pressure from the delivery pipeline.
Where’s the how to?
will be posting more videos soon with more details on design and specs

that´s not gonna work in extreme cold...
