I LOVE THESE TANKS !!!
I love these - I have 3 ranging from 70 gallon to 200 gallon - for my goldfish. I wanted this smaller one also. Amazon even packed it in a box!! THESE ARE BIG AND HEAVY so thank you for doing that - These last a life time and can handle any weather. They never dent nor rust nor break. They are the best quality I've ever known. I am so grateful Amazon carries these as I have no way to haul it back to where I live. They are easy to clean and have a fantastic plug at the bottom, so the water rushes out with a lot of power, if you need to clean them. They make a GREAT HOUSE/pond for fish and plants as well as fountains. I have never had one break or cause any problem. My goldfish loves them and they provide a lot of room. I do use a screen cover to attempt to stop wild animals from getting inside and add shade where needed. They are so heavy (especially when filled with water) that no one can steal them either. I would continue to purchase these and this brand. One thing:::: Company may wish to add a 12" chain to the bottom plug as it can easily be misplaced and/or lost when removing the water. Having a connection small chain would allow it to stay put and not get lost. I have not found a way to replace these plugs once gone.

Great stock tub, but plug leaks
This tub was great over the winter with the drain plug heater in it for three horses. I just removed the heater, washed it out, put the standard plug in, and refilled it. It was fine when half full so I continued filling and now it is leaking. I had put a lot of plumbers tape around the piece that screws into the middle, but since it had not leaked over the winter I thought the outer assembly would be watertight. That is where it is leaking from. I am not about to dump 50 or so gallons of water into the pasture so I will wait until the critters get the water level down before I dump it and put lots of plumbers tape on the thread of the outer sleeve. I am hoping that will stop the slow dripping. The tub works great and is very tough and safe for livestock, but the plug leaks and if you are going to use a plug heater in the winter you can't permanently seal it to stop the leaking. Plan on having lots of white plumbers tape on hand.

great size, very durable
So, I wasn't going to review this- I mean, it's a water tank. It's a Rubbermaid tank, and it's the same style they've had for the last 20 years and it hasn't really changed- it holds water. It works,even if the whole point of it is fairly un-sexy. The size is nice- not so large I feel guilty dumping it if one of the horses poops in it or a rat climbs in and dies, but not so small I have to refill it daily. So, the perfect size for three messy horses.I guess I'd never really tried to see *how* durable this is- I've moved before I've actually broken one or worn it out.But today I nearly ran it over with my snowblower, because the snow was above the level of the tank and I couldn't see it. And despite the whirling blades of death, it's still here and still holding water without problems. Seriously- I ran it over with a snowblower. I'm an idiot, But it's still here. WTF.

Perfect for Dog Baths
Just what I was looking for. Intended to use it for my dog's oatmeal baths. Cooper is a 66 pound black lab that has itchy skin and hates baths, my regular bathroom tub is too shallow and I can't submerge him (up to his shoulders) to get him a soaking bath. This tub has the perfect height for it.This tub came in handy when my current foster dog arrived from her previous place of 'residence'. She stank so bad and was so matted that I had to give her baths every day for a week to get the smell out.I have a hot and cold water hookup in garage and a floor drain too. Washing a dog with this setup was a breeze as a opposed to bathroom tub.

Great tub, it does leak though.
This tub is great, but I did have the same issue as everyone else saying that they drain leaks when you fill it with water... and it does. I did prepare for this possibility though, and had aquarium sealant on hand and gooped it all up. I never plan to drain it that way as my tub is used for an aquaponics system and its contents are gold... so this worked for me, and other than that (which was resolved fairly quickly) I've had no other issues with this tub. It's sturdy, it keeps the water fairly cool, and it does not bend or warp when filled all the way.

No leaks and happy horses!
I've had these for a month now and no leaks. I bought the 70 gallon version and I rolled the dice and bought two and I'm glad I did. I'm not sure if I got lucky or if the problems others had were resolved but I'm very satisfied. Big enough to last a couple days but small enough to dump. I put them out in the fields where there was no hard plumbing and it really drew the horses out there more often. Good thing too because summer heat has been brutal.

Same tank as farm/ranch stores and great price!
This 75 gallon watering tank was the perfect size for what we needed and hard to find this size. Same quality as our big 150 gallon rubbermaid tanks that we got at a farm/ranch store and great price shipped to my house. Packaged well and not too heavy, no damage in shipping. Very nice to not have to go looking for what you need and have it come to you. Thank you Amazon for carrying things like this and providing fair prices. It's in my horses stall and holding up just like the 2 150 gallon tanks in the field have for 7 years.

Strong and light weight
Very tough, quality material and still reasonably light in weight. Make sure you tighten the large fitting and plug or they will drip water. I have 8 of these tanks and have been very pleased with them over the past year. Even wild boars have not damaged these tanks!UPDATE: Dec. 18, 2015, all 8 tanks are still in great condition! They all sit out 24/7/365 exposed to weather and wild animals including boars that chew on the edges with minimal damage. I transport them from the back of our property to the well for filling. They bounce around in the back of my truck, no problems or damage. These tanks are super-tough and I definitely recommend them!

No box, no fuss, my giant water bucket arrived safely and within good time!
I like the size, I wanted bigger but this size is very easy to manage, deep and are lighter than expected to move about when empty. The winter will be the test and how they handle ice removal.I ordered 2 and both came at different times and to 2 different shipping addresses for some reason even though I stated the same shipping address for both. : (But regardless, my horses are very happy with their new 70g water buckets!!! : )

Excellent stock tank
These are not cheap but they last. Our last one lasted for 23 years but eventually the plastic connector split from being removed and replaced 2x a year for the electric Deicer. Of course it broke when it was minus 25 but Amazon and the seller had the new one here within 48 hours... Great work!

best tanks we own !
We have more of these tanks on our horse farm, they have been to hell and back ,but have outlasted all other tanks ( and we have had every kind possible ) . we ordered these to replace other failed tanks based on the track record of the ones we already own.

Very well made and super sturdy!!!
Very well made and super sturdy!!! It had a incredibly light dip from the drain/seal once filled with water. so I sealed it with silicon just because it is indoors for fish but if it was outside I may not of even bothered sealing the drain plug. 5 stars for sure!
