Stuve.
This is a problem I had to overcomne last year. I Have just a small spot-spraying hydro-seeder. (turbo-turf 150 Gal) To compete with the bigger guys I had to expand my bulk water abilities.
So I bought an new trailer. 10000 Lbs. Mounted Hydro seeder to the back and added a 350 gal tank to the front. Then plumed them together so one pump would operate the seeder and be able to draw water from the bulk tank. Then I stubbed in a second fill lime that will allow me to pull water fron my 2nd bulk tank in the back of a tonner dump truck. Its a low profile 350 gal. And i could pull water out of a river or pond with this system if needed.
Another contrator that has worked in my area. Set up thier watering rig on a old deck over trailer and Maybe this could work in your case. They mounted 2 1000 tanks on it and put one in the back of thier steerling flat bed truck. I have also seen Farmers get old military surplus flat bed semi trailers. They mount one tank on each end, they pull it with thier semi trucks. This seems to work out nice, since the trailers are a very short wheel base they are easy to drive and store.
Or another idea that I use on real big jobs. I go to a local farm coop, and rent a 1000 gal fresh water tank. Most are in good shape and have never had any herbicides in them, and I think you can get these at auctions for under a grand with a pump.
