Mini Totes Store Liquid Fertilizer
“We mounted 10 275-gal. totes on a dual-wheel trailer to store liquid fertilizer. Different blends of plant food go in marked tanks,” says Walter Miller, Minerva, Ohio.
  “To fill the tanks on our corn planter or sprayer, we attach a 2-in. dia. hose to the discharge valve at the bottom of each tank and run the hose into the open bottom half of a 50-gal. plastic barrel. A 1/4 hp sump pump located inside the barrel is used to transfer liquids.”
  The trailer measures 24 ft. long by 8 ft. wide and was originally designed to haul crawler tractors and other big, heavy earthmoving equipment in the construction industry. “The trailer is equipped with a massive frame and hitch built from 10-in. steel I-beams so it can handle much more weight than a conventional trailer,” says Miller.
  “I paid $40 apiece for the poly totes. They’re contained inside metal cages and mounted on pallets for easy loading and unloading.”
