Here are some pictures from a watering setup I made last year. This pictures show some of the materials needed.

I believe the wire was 4 gauge stranded.

This 3-point pallet fork came from AgriSupply and was just over 200 with a 2000 pound capacity. My tractor has nearly a 2000 pound lift capacity so this is a good pair for me. Keep in mind water weighs about 8 pounds per gallon so this leaves me with a 200-250 gallon limit in the IBC which holds over 300 gallons full.


I attached a pump from Northern Tool that does 7gpm electric powered. It builds up to 60psi and turns off. It came with quick disconnect fittings so I pop those loose to let the pump drain for winter storage.

You can buy the fitting to go from IBC to garden hose from Amazon and then I got a female hose thread by slip connector from the irrigation section in a home improvement store.

The finished project with the tractor holding up about 200 gallons in the IBC tote. I found that putting a ratchet strap around the tank helps keep it from moving and/or sliding off. Attach a watering wand and off you go. I use this to do watering for trees. It make pretty quick work as it only takes about 8 seconds to deliver a gallon of water.
