Good morning Josh. Keep up the good work!
Thanks! Will do!
H2 Oh what a project..I’d be TIREd from all this work…nice job Josh. WOOOOOO
Love the tire setup josh also id put something over the valve just incase the cows or calf nock off the bowling ball plus if a calfs in there the cover would protect that valve from getting g kicked or smashed.
Love the drain idea. I can see where that could be scaled down or up for different ideas. Bowling bowl is simple yet genius. The nut driver stuck in the top with the clamps is a cool tip. I do believe im gonna steal that one from ya lol.
JOSH SRF, I used to raise hogs, and they loved to play with an old bowling ball and rootaround with it. Happier animals make for much happier Farmer's Life.
Josh
Great thought has gone into your system so it's a bit complex, for a simple system, ha where are those Roman aquifer's designers when you need them, Just. Kidding. I do hope it all pans out well. But looking and thinking back on your past vids 🤔 a whole bunch of thinking and progressive design and pencil sharpening has gone into this, can't wait to see your koi goldfish a swimming it those black tires. Here fishy fishy fishy. So go fish my brother , Question what do fish have in common with a bowling ball, 🎳?
Josh how is the water getting out of the tire tank when the bowling ball get knocked off of the standpipe with a cap on the outlet. Good video as always.
obviously the setup isn't quite perfect yet...gotta drill a small hole in the outlet cap....we shall see if this works!
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer hole have to be bigger than water supply
Great ideas but i recon the integrity of the seal between the tyre and the small amount of concrete in the bottom will fail due to cattle pushing against the flexible tyre and eventually you will get water seeping out from the bottom and causing a problem with poaching. i know a farmer who did this once, it did work but he filled the bottom up about 6" above the rim of the tyre in the bottom which had the effect of encapsulating and sealing the whole bottom. Hope it works for you Josh.
@ DAVID....EXCELLENT SUGGESTION / IDEA!!
i was wondering the same thing... i wonder if when he was doing the concrete if adding j bolts/ pins to the edges would hold the tire in place ever better. I love this thinking and cant wait to see how well this tire idea works.
No because it’s hydraulic cement
BOWLING BALL "Cap"?...
Looks great. I think bowling ball could break valve though.
If the ball does get knocked off does the 💦 water keep running. ? I know that's a Big No No on our Farm,,,,,
Maybe you can attach a string from the ball to a valve handle so when the ball falls the string or chain well pull down the handle to shut the water off,,,,,,,
system has yet to be perfected my brotha....but I'm working on it and experimenting
we used to crawl around in a huge tractor tire on recess in elementary school in Minnesota. it was fun.
Good morning JOSH!
Have a wonderful weekend!
I've kept goldfish in my water tanks for several years now. They help to control the mosquito population. I just have to remember to take the Dip Net with me when I clean out the water troughs
You need to put a screen inside the drain so you don't lose the goldfish when you drain the tank!
Hi Josh what a great video and the use of a tyre as a water tank. I'll be trying some of your ideas,but what about the goldfish if the tank drains???
Nicely done. Any concern about the ball falling and breaking the valve? That’s the only thing I thought of but everything else looks great. 👍🏻
if the ball falls..in the water...it will not have enough force to harm the valve
Awesome job. We are starting on our second tire tank soon. We got a lot of hate on our video from people saying the rubber would poison the cows, it was ridiculous. Great video!
Hmm, rubber is inert & is not toxic.
@@kdegraa yeah but, tires are onky partially rubber. I would not drink water stored in a tire unless there was no other option. Not ideal. That being said, I don't think cows live long enough to get cancer. As long as the water is flowing and not just sitting there it shoudn't be a problem.
They have a point but probably not a real concern. It would be interesting to do a lab test on the meat or milk to see how much toxin accumulated and if it was of any real concern for human consumption but I doubt it. I wouldn't want to drink tire water directly if there were other options. Having the cows drink it and then eating the cows would dilute any toxins.
You have cteated what is called here in our trade (plumbing).... curb stop and riser for a street key.... common on all homes with a water service in the mid west....
Josh you have some beautiful German Shepherds
that's smart Josh!, "Save the food!" Scrape Scrape,..... $ Sha- shing! that's my latest thing... lol
You are going to leave the plug out of the drain line I hope.
yep...don't have the system perfect just yet...but I'll get there...this is just the first prototype buddy
Congrats SRF on getting the pipes and value in the ground. water for cows soon.
Don't you dare use those cows for bowling pins :-)
I keep goldfish in my stock tanks. Best part about the goldfish is that they will eat skeeters and their larva.
They can live for years in a water tank through winter and summer. The only real problem will be if the water gets too hot, then you could get a bunch of floaters ☠️.
The only concern I would have with that system is that tires have dozens of toxic chemicals in them, and the toxins will leach out into the water. The toxins could show up in the animal meat.
why would a tire have any toxins different from a Rubbermaid water tank? If tires were loaded with toxins...we'd be constantly exposed to them driving...we'll test the toxin theory at some point...maybe send off a water sample for a test....great idea!
I had looked into this because I can’t even be outside a new tire store without the vapor making my eyes, nose, lips, & lungs burn ( same with gasoline & diesel fuel ), but then I have hypersensitive receptors that seem to be getting more sensitive with age.
Anyways, my findings...
Q: Is it safe to grow vegetables in old tires?
A: “Short-term, yes, tire planters are OK, although the soil in black tire planters will probably get hotter than most plants would prefer. Long-term, no, because the tire rubber will slowly biodegrade and release zinc, carcinogenic PAHs (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) and other toxic compounds into your garden soil.
Q: Are tires toxic?
A: The short answer is that yes, they are. Tires contain a host of chemicals and metals that should not be in the human body. And they do gradually erode and break down, leaching those chemicals into the environment.
Also, Rubbermaid makes plastic food containers, & plastic uses less harmful compounds.
...but the life of beef cattle is rather short nowadays. So, less exposure.
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer We are constantly exposed when driving. They're not as bad as lots of other stuff but not as safe as food grade plastic. Awareness of particulate emissions from tires is just coming to light. That being said I woudn't really worry about it much for this application.
I know you love the keyboard warriors. Haha. 🤣🤣
yep....so far been cursed at...accused of poisoning the cows and called stupid on this video...so nice of me to show folks how to do something huh lol
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer and I’m sure you slept just fine that night. 👍👍
If the bowling ball doesn’t seal with just the weight i bet you could RTV it on and it would seal and still be able to be kicked off. Great idea by the way.
Well kinda works like a toilet float but it’s a very good idea.
I think the cows will make it their mission to knock that b ball off,just because its there.
This is pretty cool. I seen the tire tanks before but I never saw anybody cut the top out. The cows just had to lean in to get the water, this looks much better. Plus now it’s big enough so if you’re out there covered in dirt and sweat you got a quick little Jacuzzi to jump in. ;)
lol...and you won't...it's a total pain in the butt!! I could have done an entire video on this....we tried every blade on the farm...3 different saws and settled on the TORO chainsaw! It worked great...the rest failed miserably
Really cool setup Josh! Ingenious idea with the bowling ball! Wooooo!
Thank you! Cheers!
The chian saw is the best way to cut a tire
it was...we tried all sorts of blades in the sawzall....nothing worked as good as that chainsaw
Nice work buddy.......some of your best to date... :)
Wow you are putting lots hard work on the farm . One day you will be able to set back on the porch and look back on all those days. In joy the wonderful days . Nice
Sit back and relax rather than filling up and driving a water trailer around. It is a lot of work. Hopefully it worth it.
What’s happening with the bat wing topper
I think the bowling ball will be fine until it's knocked off on the valve;)
The safety ball is a great idea. I’ve never heard of goldfish lasting that long outside, but it’s an interesting test
@@cathiwim really? I had no idea they were that hardy
It will also help with your cows getting worms from the water. The goldfish will eat the worm eggs and the bugs and their eggs as well.
haha yea theres always an expert out there lol. I really digging everything you've done very ingenuitive, alot of out of the box ideas. there's more than 1 way to skin a cat.
I’ve been wanting to do this for a while now. It’s an awesome idea
Please reconsider using this due to the possibility of chemicals from the tire leaching into the water, especially when exposed to heat and sunlight 😬 Exposed steel wire used in the tires construction if ingested, can lead to the potentially fatal hardware disease. The wire can also cut or poke the cattle.
you do understand that there are tens of thousands of these tire water tanks all over the world...that a rubber/plastic water tank is industry standard. That I keep goldfish in these tanks 365 days a year and they keep the tanks clean, if the tank was leaching dangerous chemicals.....a goldfish would not survive. The tank is rubber, the pipe is plastic, the valve is plastic, the drain is plastic.....it's not harming any animals....and there's no metal wire to cut the cattle or give them any hardware disease. These tanks stay a constant 45-75 degrees all year long, with the acceptation of winter when they freeze on top. There's nothing wrong with a tire water tank, I'd be more concerned about drinking from a red solo cup than this tank
What's your plans to keep mosquitos from multiplying.
fish in each tank
Tire water tanks are awesome, first time I heard of them was on Cross Timber’s Bison (Dusty Baker). They don’t cause Cancer, I agree! Love your content and enjoy watching. I have been binge watching 👍😊
hope Bowling bowl fall on valve
Wont the tire leach chemicals into the water?
no more than a rubberized water tank.....if ya cruise through the channel you'll see where I have goldfish living in these tanks now...if they were toxic the fish would certainly perish
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer Okay, thanks. Didnt know, hence the question. You dont make water tanks from tires for human consumption do you? Whats the evaporation rate ? Have you calculated that? I live in the So. Ca. desert. My group buries water tanks made from fiberglass for bighorn sheep, mule deer, and other desert critters.
We have 5 tire tanks on the ranch, all with goldfish. I looked in your other videos but I did not see the follow up video, just the short video. What floating solar fish bubbler did you use? Do the cows mess with it?
solar bubbler lasted about 2 weeks before I tossed it in the trash....watch some more of the livestreams...in particular yesterday on th-cam.com/users/stoneyridgefarmerlivestreams we show the fish in that vid
Two questions: Will chemicals from the rubber leach into the water? How do you create a seal between the concrete and the rubber?
I've had no issues with "leaching" any chemicals, the tires are safe and this is pretty common practice all over the world, I keep fish in the tanks and they thrive so that tells me the water is pretty darn safe. The concrete will sometimes seal to the tire, and for added security I used "flex paste" to fill the gaps....worked great and the tire tanks leak very very slowly...maybe a slow drip dripping 40 gallons of fresh water into the tank daily
that's great idea 50 years ago back when farmer started using tractor tires for water tank we did have a name for it
Hi..... Josh, thank you for showing your video homestead 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 🏡🎥👍👍👍
Josh, what is the website you used for mapping your farm?
check the GIS website for your local county
WOW A bowling ball not a chance that’s going to work! And just stupid
ya know...smart people always tell people they are "stupid" on social media...it's actually been proven....I'll submit your comment to my local MENSA chapter so you can get your membership started lol.....this is sarcasm in case you're too busy insulting folks on social media to understand
a company in ashern manitoba has being building these for years
Nice work o n the tire waterer Josh. As a 1st generation rancher building my place from scratch, I have tire tank envy. Lol. Great progress my friend. Scott in Alberta 🇨🇦
Ball valves and out door plumbing is trouble because there is always water inside of the closed valve
yep...but if the valve is below the freeze line then it's not a concern my friend
Checking in Josh, been at work in Utah again so it's been hard to keep up brotha. Coming along nicely my guy!!
H.d. supply can get you all these parts.... no need to recreate the wheel....
I get my supplies from a local business called PSI, I try and support local business when I can. Not sure about recreating any wheel....it's just a few plumbing fittings here buddy
Hey Josh, enjoy your videos and your innovation! Just wondering, if a calf knocks the bowling ball off and the tank begins to drain won’t the auto fill valve just start running and running? I don’t have any experience with this, just based my question off a continuous running toilet issue…LOL!
yep....still perfecting the system....guess what I learned about bolwing balls....lol...some of them float bhhahha
continuous running should not be a problem, if the cattle are moved daily etc, unlike us where we only move them every few months ( the farm is divided into 2000ac blocks)
Bowling ball cannon?
Have you put the 2o one
Shouldn't load your tail gate that heavy thats alot of weight for that lil truck even for a big one
yep.....the old truck held up nice didn't it
Great idea with the bowling ball but I was wondering if the cows knock the ball off it looks possible for the ball to hit the water valve.
Those are very lucky dogs. They can run till they get tired and not leave their land
Good Job Josh, your irrigation system is going together well. Keep up the good work! 👍
Great ,tires contian toxic chemicals...😢
even water is a toxic chemical if you drink too much of it my friend. This tire has fish in it....the canary in the mine here is the fish. Maybe we send off the water for a test at some point to see what it's potential toxicity might be
Good job! Only comment I would make is maybe put the ball so that it is well covered by the water so they don't play with it. But otherwise, good set up.
I guess you have frost lines but man that looks like it's going to be real far down to get to
watch to the end...you'll see me use my tool to turn the valve on and off...obviously I won't be reaching my whole upper body down in the hole to turn the tank on and off brotha
Good Morning Josh , Great job really a great Mechanic , well thought out and presented. Keep up thee great work.
i don like to use rubber and plastics at all.. but thank you
well my friend....you're sitting on a chair made with petroleum or driving a car that's 80% petroleum, the roof on your house..the phone in your hand...the handle on your refrigerator door...the pipes that bring you water and the insides of the faucet ya drink from. We live in a petroleum based word for sure
THAT WAS A GOOD IDEA, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. G.B.Y. GREAT VIDEO AS ALWAYS.
Grand
Good morning from ohio enjoy watching and learning something new
Good morning keep up the great work you do an awesome job using your head
Always a pleasure to see your videos, entertaining and some new and different ways of doing things.
WoooooooooooHeeeeeeeHeeeeeeeeeee!!!Alright!!!🤗🤗🤗
Wow Josh 😲 I LOVE everything you're doing on your farm. I wish I was half my age bud. You're somebody's dream come true for sure. I just think you're an amazing person and deserve someone just like you by your side...thank you SO MUCH for taking the time to video all your improvements and innovations along your journey to make your dreams come true for you.
You need a place like this and your Pops must be SO PROUD of all your accomplishments Josh❣️❣️❣️ you continue to amaze me and I'm sure thousands of us all over the world 😃👍warm hugs to you ❣️❣️❣️
I second this! If I were just six years younger, I’d volunteer. Now that I’m starting to slow down, I feel as though I’ll be totally worthless in a couple of years.
Hey Josh thank you for the video and the information too woo
Hadn't heard of the goldfish idea before. Curious to see if the make for a good sign.
Do bowling balls float? I never had to ponder that until I watched this video.
some do...some don't....ask me if this one did lol
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer I am guessing no based on your design considerations.
How DC y Josh, Texas
Shiners, white clouds, CPDs, Mosquito Fish, Flag Fish are all a little better that goldfish in this operation.
Thanks!
thank you so much!
Brilliant video Josh
Dam son how big are your hands. Good idea with that little bowling ball, my money is on they will knock it off pretty quick.
Do a review on the Toyota truck
lol
Love the idea of the clean-out being far from the tire/tank.
Hi JOSH? I always pound the like button but am not 100% sure about using that "TIRE" as some kind of tank? I would worry about the "TIRE" having some kind of contaminants???
why would it? Lots of folks really concerned bout this tire having some sort of rubber in it that would be different than any other rubberized livestock tank...if it leached out poisons the EPA most certainly would not allow them to be used in forests and wetlands or out on the highways
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer OK! Just wasn't sure! Hope that ALL is going well with You the Critters and the Farm. BLESSED BE!
Cross Timber Bison a,ready did something similar for their Bison pastures they not drain their system but did have come with way to keep them out of the water trough lol lol as bison try actually get in it they put fish in the troughs to keep algae down control and some even survive the winter freezing temps
Gotta tell ya that is one smart looking dog you got! No I haven’t seen the rest of the video yet just watching that dog run alongside your truck what a critter beautiful dog❤️❤️❤️❤️🇺🇸
yeppers....dogs that aren't smart don't last on a farm that's for sure...lots of work and training on those critters
Awesome idea I've got to try this setup
Hey don't forget to use leave your dirt mounted over your trenches that ruin that settles it won't be an invert you want to up over the top someone a settles will be level with the ground cuz we all know the ground is going to get wet your girls can compact so make sure you leave your dirt mounted up over here trench line
Ball valve on the drain pipe
Good morning can you please tell me what the name of the little blue saw that you used on this project? I’ve been wanting to buy one for myself because during the week I love to do yard work while the hubby is at work. We have tons of thick branches and little trees that need to be cleaned up around the yard. Thanks 😊👍
it's in my amazon store page...link in the video description..click "show more"
Thank you very much I’m in PA and I have chickens that I have had just about 3 years. I just bought 2 baby Turkeys and 4 baby Guinea hens. I so want more animals but….. I don’t have the room for them. 😭😭 been looking online for homes in Eastern shore of VA, North Carolina, and Alabama. I want to get the heck outta here and move to a state that has some snow but mostly milder winters. 😊
Morning Josh your grass is looking great
Who train your dogs they're so well behaved I would like to get mine the same way
I did....takes discipline for sure...but once you get there you got it!
Nice job, liked and sub'd
You say poly to PVC... Do you mean HDPE pipe... or is this some other poly pipe? I think it's just different areas of country use different words.
Why didn't you fill the bottom portion of the tire with cement?
7 bags v/s 17 bags that accomplish the same thing?
That is fair. Have you noticed any leaking around the tire concrete seam?
Does the tire not leach unhealthy chemicals into the water, which are then consumed by the cows and stored in their fat to be consumed by the person who consumes that beef?🤔
let's think about this....would the EPA let a tire be produced that leaches chemical poisons into the soil or waterways? Do you get cancer from drinking from a styrofoam cup or red solo cup? Are the ice cube trays in your fridge made from oil based products? What about the water that comes out of your plastic faucet and rubber lined supply lines? The answer is no...it's not a health hazzard to the animals...if it were...rubbermaid wouldnt make water tanks from recycled rubber and plastic....odds are that every drink of water you've ever taken came through a petroleum based pipe of some sort
Well bud, your wrong. Used tires do leach into the environment as they break down. They contain many harmful chemicals and heavy metals. There are plenty of reputable sources available online concerning this.
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer Sounds like you have a lot of faith in the EPA?
How you going to keep it from freezing in cold weather ?
it's partially burried and this quantity of water simply won't freeze in my local area...it might get some ice on the tip..but thats about it
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer OK, If it don t get very cold there your most likely good. I am in Iowa a tire tank is mostly used below a pond . In summer use a float , in winter they take the valve off and put a cap on the pipe with a 1/4 hole in the side and it flows all the time . Have a great day !
That a Good educational video thanks farming is a great way of life sole food 😀
