Save some money by making your own water spraying trailer instead of hiring a water truck! Great for dust prevention on the job site, wetting soil for compaction, or anything else you would need a water truck for!

I just bought a brand new one for $45(brand new). It had food grade sunflower oil in it. I also got 2 gallons of sunflower oil. A guy down the street sells them. $20 for 50 gallon plastic barrels also.

awesome setup, I'm looking into different ideas for watering all of the trees we planted a year ago because 55 gallon barrels just ain't cutting it for the amount of trees that we have to water. I'll be using this design and already have the 2 IBC's and a trailer. Thanks for sharing!

Glad to hear! Sounds like a great solution.

Thanks for this - looking for something similar to do my own water delivery to my house as our well is disgusting and no city water. Clever setup.

Great video! I was puzzling out how to apply a liquid to my horse riding arena and your contraption is just the MacGyver touch I need! Thanks

@@brettjudy is there a way to push more pressure through the sprayer? Or is gravity for the only option

@@catherinelohse-oo8ti You might be able to integrate a water pump somewhere in the system, but you might restrict the volume of water coming out. Gravity worked pretty well for my needs!

How full did fill each tank with water? 275 gallon tank x 8 gallons is 2200 Pounds that trailer can get overloaded

Add permazyme to the water and the soil will solidify for a few months time.

What size drill bit did you use?

@brettjudy Жыл бұрын

I think I used a 3/8” but if I were to do it again I would probably use 1/8” and do more holes.

I am quite sure you overload that trailer by almost twice its actual capacity unless it has a 5200 lb axle. I will call yourself quite lucky and perhaps you should play the lottery

Do you remember how long it took to empty all that water out of the tank?

@brettjudy Жыл бұрын

I never filled both of them all the way, but at this spray rate it lasted quite a while! It would probably last over an hour if you filled both.

Overloading a trailer like that is dangerous, hopefully you're not on public roads like that... Those tanks are 1000kg each and that trailer isn't rated for even half that
