Kubota B20
Did some spot seeding along the road and also added some new dirt to a few low places. It is over 300' to the nearest hose spigot so I decided to add another function to my B20. I am guessing that I hold about 60 gallons and the whole drive is I flat pavement so I'm not worried about tipping or spilling. Worked so well I just ordered a 12v pump so I can do more with it. I am sure this will lead to a trailer mounted tank but for now this is the best $10.00s I've spent in a long time.

Whatever floats your boat- or I guess in your FEL in your case. :thumbsup: Now that I think about it, how about putting an air hose in there and then it could be a moble Jacuzzi!!!

Good idea, I use my bucket to haul water.

It works just fine. Not sure why a tarp is needed...buckets don't tend to leak.

I use my bucket on the backhoe to fill a stump hole with water if the stump doesn't want to move. Next morning it is like it is rooted in warm butter rather than hard clay.

Why the tarp? I have carried water in mine, it doesn't leak.

I have a 55gal plastic drum set up with a hose bib. I either put it in the loader or RTV when remote watering. The loader works better because it siphons quicker with more height.

I have holes for a tooth bar and holes where I mount my snow plow to the bucket so I would loose water real fast without it. I guess I could put bolts with a little silicone but the tarp worked good. I like the hot tub idea. My 3 year old would love that

Keep life simple. Tapered wooden plugs have been used for decades to plug holes. If you have a pocket knife and a dry oak limb you're in business. :D
