Installing a winter proof tire tank, step by step, Part 1.

Great video Thanks for not promoting boring face time

I love the regular work talk in the video! You guys sound like you have a allot of fun together

Thanks for having the dogs in the video, that made me smile. I lost both of my dogs in the last year,

[@Pepper-rn4hh]

I have a question: Is there any possibility of the water being contaminated by the "rubber" or other ingredients that make the tire?

[@davemi00]

Pepper 1099 - Not for long, if at all. Tires are very inert. Stable chemically. 1 Exception - ChInese Rubber Compounds have questionable chemical makeups. They’ll Often, Stink to high heaven for months on end.

[@Pepper-rn4hh]

@@davemi00 Huh, Interesting. Thank you for answering my question.

[@Pepper-rn4hh]

@Leroy Jenkins humm, okay yep, I can see your point. I don't have cattle, but I was looking at this as a possible project for an under ground water or fish pond in the garden area. IDK for 2-3 koi. Thank you for your comment.

[@katrinaschultz8493]

This video was great, but I would have liked to see you putting it in place and doing the plumbing too! Thank you. Hope you show how to connect it to the pond.

[@chrishuff4503]

Agree

[@wade1769]

i agree need to see you putting the pluming together

[@lyleklingaman3217]

I thought you said that you always fill the entire bottom with concrete, otherwise it won't completely drain and water will lay in the sidewall. Still trying to figure out what seals it so it doesn't leak. Just trying to plan this all out so I can install some. Thanks for the video, can't wait to see the rest of the install.

[@24staples]

I’m a little confused as to what seals it as well, the only way I can think is concrete heats up when it dries melting the rubber a bit

[@davemi00]

Tire doesn’t Melt. All other Installs on Tire/Wells, I’ve watched, have the cement Just Cover the inside Tire bottom. However, Greg’s been doing this, in Central Missouri for Decades.

[@jeffreyhicks4651]

The concrete will adhere/stick to the tire once that concrete is cured that tire will be unmovible and well sealed.

[@Elfunko99x]

Or maybe a whiteboard drawing explanation of everything prior to this point (the tire tank install) as far as the water system, pond size/angle, clay, lines running out, making leakproof, trenching and installing lines etc. Im fascinated by all this as ill have to do it on my own...

[@victorbunch7725]

I think w/the water already there in the tire just pour the dry mix in and mix would work find! Have you ever done a dry pour pad it works great!

[@alvisshef]

Any chemical leaching from tire into water or from concrete into water over time?

You could have sprinkled some of your stone in there to fine tune the height.

Is that leafy spurge by the drain pipe?

[@Isaacmantx]

Hey Mr. Judy, could we get a video on the spreader mounted on the 4-wheeler, and what you use it for? I’m assuming overseeding pastures?

[@bigwhane8603]

[@glendonrhoades4716]

Great stuff! How heavy are those tires? Any chance of a guy loading one in the pickup by hand? Got one waiting for me in town

[@raybankes7668]

next time a little dryer will work easier... its all good in the long run. these tanks look great. I might make some for our operation.

[@searlearnold2867]

I almost cried... $10 for a defective tire and there were 200 of them? Yup that's an incredible deal considering how much they cost !!

[@TheRainHarvester]

I Use a heat gun to unglue pvc. 8 reuse fittings! Great tank!

[@magnolouback]

In Brasil we do but with used tyre a new tyre like this one costs a fortune around here. All the best Greg

[@davidhickenbottom6574]

They where defective tires.

[@magnolouback]

Ok I got it lol

[@kevinmccormack6610]

10 bucks for that tire. Wish I had bought all 200 of them!!

@@gregjudyregenerativerancher to dispose is probably $50.00. I'm in the tire business

[@blue_boy8621]

A video to go with the book! makes it that more understandable! we don't really have these type tanks around here.. Would tractor tyres work aswell, or do you need the height?

[@raybankes7668]

For my sheep the thinner tire would work. this deep water tank would not work well for small sheep. The cattle are much taller. I get the cattle would try to get in the tank without an electric wire above it.

[@taunapowell9651]

I personally like the lower profile tanks for both sheep and baby calves. Actually hired an outfit to slice an existing installed tire tank in half for those reasons. Also if sheep or calves get in the tank, there is no way for them to drown.

[@leen3846]

Thanks for the great video!! Will one of those work for sheep?

[@swamp-yankee]

2.5 feet is too tall for lambs

[@georgeheller2281]

You guys are doing just fine.

Could of used your concrete expertise George!!

[@georgeheller2281]

@@gregjudyregenerativerancher I would love to come down and help you pour some concrete. Off season is coming soon.

[@smittys19daytona]

So maybe the concrete expands enough to seal the joint or doesn't it matter if it leaks a little?

[@cecilhenry9908]

How did you decide the level of the tank with respect to the pond depth?? I assume the pond level will vary greatly throughout the year, so is the tank going to have a ball valve type water level control set up?

[@swamp-yankee]

He did a video cleaning out an older one, and it had a jobe megaflow valve on it

[@KCAATV]

Where did you get those tires and how much do they cost?

[@mattmartin3886]

If you have a tire center near you that deals in construction or skidder tires they will give them to you for free.

[@brianpeterson510]

Excellent video. Do have a guard on the flex drain pipe? Thanks in advance.

[@rockinghorselivestock2491]

How did you level the tank? Did you put your level using the bead in the bottom of the tank, or top of the tank or did you put some water in the tank to see how level it was?

[@mattmartin3886]

What I found worked best was making a level pad with some crusher run gravel and then just setting the tire. Not really worried about it being perfectly level.

[@rockinghorselivestock2491]

@@mattmartin3886 i just set 3 tanks. Excavated out the pads. Added crushed limestone road base rock and made a level pads. Set the the tires on the pads

[@Elfunko99x]

I wish there was video of the new pond build and water line install. Later using a trencher? to run the line out to the tire and how that comes up into the tire. I guess you have other lines running to other possible tiretank sites also? As always, thanks for the invaluable education. Water install is the #1 infrastructure that is hard to record the whole process, kinda leaving me in mental limbo on how best to accomplish this foremost important task best ✌️

[@Melidontcare]

How much was that tire ?

[@gregjudyregenerativerancher]

$10

Great job guys🐝❤️

[@greggergen9104]

I am assuming you got the tire for free. What was wrong with it? It looks brand new?

[@Digger927]

They were blems, they had a mfg. defect that made them too dangerous to use for commercial construction. Contractor probably got the replaced for free and sold them for cheap to make some extra cash.

[@davidwiley5453]

We use tires from mining equipment & cut them in half & bury them in the ground w/ 12" to 16 " exposed . Never have to bank them & small calves can drink as calving is in May/ June . Use a round bale feeder to keep cattle out of tanks . It takes 2 bags of bentonite & 14 bags concrete . Fill it up w/ 6" water over the center . There is a 3" overflow w/ pee valve . I also have a smaller tank w/ a heat chimney & drink holes w/ a top & have No problem w/ winter watering

[@matthewcurrier3636]

I would've thought these may dry rot and crack over time like a truck tire after what 8 years or so here. No problem w/ that huh?

[@gregjudyregenerativerancher]

I’ve had 4 of them in for 25 years, still look brand new

Try not to put so much water in the mix, you will have much stronger cement.

Tires have known toxic chemical in them, so lets use them to store water in them. Yeh thats a good idea...😮

It’s vulcanized rubber for goodness’s sakes. I’ve sent numerous water samples out to be tested. Nothing but healthy pond water. Folks get all freaked out about rubber tires, completely ridiculous.
