Behlen Country 50130148-09 Galvanized Tank 389 Gal

Product Description

The BEHLEN COUNTRY 50130148-09 is a round galvanized steel livestock water tank rated at 389 gallons with a 6-foot nominal diameter. It is designed for continuous outdoor use on farms and ranches, providing a durable watering solution for cattle, horses, and other large livestock. The tank features a heavy zinc coating applied to the galvanized steel for corrosion resistance against rain, humidity, and seasonal weather extremes. Premium corrugated sidewalls add structural rigidity, while an extra-heavy bottom provides load-bearing strength under full water capacity. A reinforced steel tube is rolled into the top lip to maintain shape and add durability at the most-handled edge. Licensed agricultural equipment dealers, farm supply installers, and ranch operators typically source and place this tank.

This tank is suited for open pasture, feedlot, and barn-adjacent installations where a high-capacity communal watering point is needed. The round profile allows multiple animals to access water simultaneously from any side. The nominal 6-foot diameter makes it compatible with standard livestock pen layouts. Its construction is intended to withstand ground-level placement on compacted soil, gravel pads, or concrete slabs in both residential agricultural and commercial ranch settings. No mounting hardware is required for standard ground placement.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as a freestanding round galvanized livestock water tank for general farm and ranch use with cattle, horses, and other large animals. No specific equipment compatibility requirements apply for standard ground-level placement.

Installation Notes

Place the tank on a level, stable surface such as compacted gravel, packed soil, or a concrete pad to prevent tipping and uneven wear on the bottom. No anchoring hardware is required for standard open-field use, but large livestock herds may require the tank to be positioned against a fence or barrier to prevent displacement. Drain and clean the tank periodically according to local agricultural water quality guidelines. Tank size is nominal and actual dimensions will be slightly less than the stated size.
