Found this bulk tank at an old dairy set up. Obviously out of business. Gave 300.00, i thought it was a deal. Got a line on a 600 gal. tank. The compressor was shot. Just left it at the farm. Oh yeah, there was a cat skeleton under the tank!!

Any SS tank at under $1 / gal is a deal. While some use the refrigeration, most do not. The compressor is a bonus they rarely come with.

The tank figuers out at 310 gallon. It's also insulated. I think it'll work just great!!

I do believe WI has a lot more dairy farms. That's a positive for you. I know where more are but, there pretty proud of them.

Looking at the manhole cover that tank is a Surge Zero Vacuum tank. If You wanted to sell it you could get $800 very easily.

There are quite a few old dairy farms aroun me with some bulk tanks not being used. Problem is all the ones I talked to wont sell anything so they just sit there colecting dust. And Haynes after YOU soaked in that bulk tank it wouldnt be food grade any longer.

Yeah, same around here. I've also been told several times after asking that "We might start milkin' again", even though the barn was caving in. Some folks you just can't figure out...

The tank still has the motor and the agitator. And a measuring stick thing.
