At 180 lb. empty and something over 700 lb. full, this is a unit that wants a proper pad under it rather than packed ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"border-left:4px solid #b9902a;background:#fdf8e9;padding:16px 18px;margin:18px 0;border-radius:4px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 8px;font-weight:700;color:#8a6a1f;\"\u003eWeight, full\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0;font-size:0.95em;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eSixty-five gallons of water is about 540 lb. on its own. Add the 180 lb. frame and tank and the pad is carrying three quarters of a ton in one spot, before any cattle lean on it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is inside the frame\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe C75-26 is built the way every Hoskins is built, at this particular size. Stainless tank, 65 gallons. Insulated galvanized frame. Element mounted in the frame with air all around it rather than clamped to the steel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe valve sits in an insulated compartment of its own beneath a removable cover, reached through a service door big enough for a hand and a forearm. On the C75-26 that compartment holds a 3\/4 in. Bob valve on an 8 in. float rod. The drain takes a 2 in. rubber stopper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 26 in. frame holds the water further off the ground, which keeps dirt out and gives a cleaner drink, and 75 in. of open trough lets a good many head at the water at once. 180 lb. empty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBefore you order\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWater and power both arrive inside the base, so the trench carries two things and should be dug once. The C75-26 footprint is 75 by 26 in., which is what your stub-ups have to land inside.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePour a reinforced pad about 83 by 34 in. and set it a few inches above the surrounding ground. Manure that cannot pack against the frame is manure that cannot rot it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Model 2C element draws 11.7 amps at 120 volts, so a dedicated 15 amp circuit is enough.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEmpty weight is 180 lb. Plan on a loader rather than a carry.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRated for 150 to 250 cattle. Rim space matters as much as gallons, because cattle drink in groups: 75 in. of open trough is what decides how many get at it at once.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTake your water pressure reading at the waterer itself rather than at the well, and at more than one hour of the day.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eNeed help working out which unit you already have?
