Product Details
Super tough and portable trough for use with sheep and cattle. Unique design with 100l capacity allows it to be easily emptied then dragged or towed between paddocks. The float and valve assembly is designed to be 100% cattle proof.
Can water up to 100hd cows or 400 ewes providing you have sufficient flow rate to the trough, as a guide 10 cows with calves need 2.5l/min, 100 ewes with lambs need 2.9l/min. See below guide for more flow rate advice.
Includes; high flow valve (up to 40l/min), float & trough fitting.
The Trough’s fittings are all 25mm, suitable for use with a good quality LDPE or MDPE 25mm Pipe . If you have different sized pipes you can source adapters to convert pipe to 25mm.
Recommended operating pressure - 1-5BAR Goes great with our quick release hydrants!
Dimensions: 87cm diameter. 41cm height.
**FETF2025 Update**: please be aware that the Kiwitech Drag Trough is not eligible under FETF304 (water trough for rotational grazing), as confirmed by the RPA on 28th May 2025. This is due to the design featuring a submerged inlet rather than a traditional ball float and air gap. We strongly recommend seeking clarification from the RPA before applying or purchasing.
Please note: Kiwitech Troughs are not able to be connected direct to mains water supplies. This is because Kiwitech Troughs are bottom filled (the inlet is submerged) so there must be an air gap between the trough and mains connection due to risk of potential back flow, i.e. ball valve in header tank. For further information on what airgap/valves your local water board accepts please consult your local water authority.
Shipping Surcharge Notice:
Please note that due to their size, drag troughs incur a courier shipping surcharge of £19.99 per order (not per trough). This additional charge will be applied at checkout. However, orders over £1,200 (excluding VAT) will not incur this surcharge, as they will be shipped on a pallet instead.
