    My experience is that they don't become available to often so when they do jump on them quick. Used ones on craigslist start at $1.00 per gallon and go up. Good luck, Mike

    Hey spencer the guy that runs this site sells equipment. He has a 600 gallon stainless in stock. The shops less than 30 minutes from you.

    Its at the shop. I believe it's a lapierre 600 round bottom tank. Give him a call. I call this time of night all the time.

    Not sure what you mean about fitting your budget, stainless tanks are rarely cheap, but deals can be found in time, my first milk tank was a 300 gal one for 50 bucks, later picked up a 200 gal one, stainless in and out for 100 bucks, and a 1650 gal milk truck tank for $1250 so deals are out there, but that said i have a many others that i paid about the usual $1.00 a gallon, altho that seems to be a bit on the lower end nowdays especialy if they are stainless outsides as well, the vac tanks i have bought were all around $2.00 a gallon. Just keep checking craigslist and classifieds here, they come up, but if they are less than a buck a gal act fast if they arnt gone already!
