Description

The Ritchie CattleMaster 10T is a high-capacity automatic waterer designed for operations that need dependable, year-round performance in demanding environments. Built with a fully insulated, heavy-duty polyethylene casing and a stainless steel trough, the 10T delivers reliable, frost-free water for large herds in both pasture and feedlot applications.

Engineered for high traffic and larger herd sizes, the 10T provides a long, tall trough to reduce crowding while maintaining consistent water access. Its thermostatically controlled heating system, combined with under-trough heating and cable protection for the waterline, ensures water remains ice-free even in extreme winter conditions.

The unit also features Ritchie’s patented water seal design, which helps block cold air from reaching internal components—improving efficiency and protecting against freeze-up. With a fast refill valve system and easy-access service components, the CattleMaster 10T is built to deliver reliable performance with minimal downtime.
