holding tanks

[steve J]

I have run some of the standard tubeing and have 3 lines that will merge in same area with total of 42 taps. My question is I am haveing a hard time finding a suitable holding tank . The place I bought the tubeing does not carry 55 gallon drums. Were do those requireing small holding tanks of 55 to 65 gallons buy these drums?

Joe, how much for the poly leg tank that I didn't have room for last fall? I'll have my truck with me I could grab it from you.

steve, if you just want a 55 gals plastic drum and not a larger tank, I have an extra if I buy a larger tank.... $10 and I will go to the Conf in NY.

Most dairy farmers are useing the 35 gallon barrels with the teet dip in them for there ladies. Preasure wash them out and fill with a solution of cold water and baking powder,let sit for a day or two and rinse again. they have a 2" bung and a 3/4" bung which make for a nice transport tank also.

I'm asking $95.00 for each Thats about 75 cents a gal. Cost me twice that when I bought them.

Thanks to all that replied a farm supplier dealer that I had giving up on finally came though with the 65 gallon tank I had wanted.
