Here is where I got mine. Be sure to get potable water tanks or food grade tanks. I see this vender has a 35 gal @ under $70.

Tractor Supply sells a 35 gallon leg tank.

Flats, where did you get your tank?

The TSC 35 gal leg tank is $100.00 at my local store and that is what I got for my four wheeler. I would not mind getting a second for in the truck and $70.00 is pretty attractive. The TSC tank already has a bung at the bottom on the one end. The cap has about a 5" hole.

Picked up my new tank today for my 4 wheeler. It should work well, hopefully I can use it be the end of the week

Where'd you get it and how much?

I got it at tractor supply for 100 bucks

US Plastics has decent pricing on vertical closed head tanks, FDA approved for potable water. Small tanks range from 10-40 gallons. These come with a 3/4" bulkhead fitting for a spigot, which they also carry.

I just have to ask guys, I use a Polaris 700 Sportsman ATV and only have a 20 gal tank on the back rack. I cannot imagine having a tank 15 gallons larger and getting up some of the hills I have to navigate…..are you using the 35 gallon tank on level ground only?

I have mine on the back of an Arctic Cat 300 and it is fine but I avoid any uphill travels of any significant slope.
I also have to be careful to not stop fast when backing up. The center line of the tank is about 4" behind the center line of the rear wheels which makes that a concern. I have hauled quite a few full 35 gallon loads with no issues but I take it easy with no sudden starts, stops, or sharp turns. It is definitely not something I let anyone else run.

Another comment here. I do not use the small bung to drain the tank. I put a Rule 1200 pump in and pump it out. It's the same pump that I put in my front mounted dump station to transfer into the tank so I do not have to lift the sap as high. I have a Rule float switch in the dump station to control the pump there and have a plug wired there and at the rear to plug the pump into when emptying the tank. The rear plug is also long enough to reach the pump when I put it in my 55 gal collection tank at my tubing set up.

I use twin 35 gallon tanks on my Mule 610. It is a load when full, but I have never had any real issues. I use chains, but I navigate some very steep grades and hillside paths in the mud. I set the tanks all the way forward and made extensions to empty them. The pics should show this.

I have a suzuki KQ 750. I put 2 mesh racks on and mounted 2 todd marine water tanks at 20 g each front and rear. They are only 10" tall. Installed 5" deck plates to dump through and 1 1/2" drain valves. Made a removable extension hose and drain them into a bucket to transfer. Right now I can't get close enough to transfer to the sap tank so I have to add the extra step. I will be able to pull up to the tank next year and dump straight to the tank. I can post a pic when I get home if you like.
The atv handles it just fine but like it was said before you don't want to get too carried away when maneuvering. I drive into the back of the pickup, go to the bush, back off, run my route and then back into the truck. It's important to fill each tank equally and drive on and off slowly but it is slick. I set up a bilge pump and hose that I can plug into the 12v outlet on the atv or truck for transfer.

Just my 2 cents I have a small trailer with a 70 gallon saddle tank on it as long as the snow is less than a foot deep my 400 big bear pulls it fine up hills and down. I don't like a tank on the bike.
