Making up a rig to water the extreamly dusty road out here after over a month with no rain, and no rain in foreseeable future.
275 gallon water storage tote tank, stub trailer, and 5' boom.
Doubled the size of the boom feed pipe, and drilled out the 3/8" drain holes to 1/2" for better flow.
Here is what the road looked like last year after watering it by hand and dragging out 300 feet of 3/4" garden hose. I like the watering cart better and I can cover more distance up the road too.
They put down Calcium Chloride early in the Summer, but with no rain that does not work either. Needs some moisture to hold onto to keep the dust down.
Working pretty good all things considered, can do a 90° turn between the water cart and tow tractor for turning around (180°) in the middle of the road without having to stop and backup. Just keep on going as the water is flowing.
