Water Trailers and Water Wagons
On farms, ranches, and jobsites, "water trailer," "water wagon," and "nurse trailer" all mean the same thing: a tow-behind tank that puts water exactly where you need it, without running back to a central supply every hour. We carry the full range so you can match capacity to your daily haul:
- 500 gallon -- ideal for small operations, hobby farms, and spot irrigation where a compact, easy-tow rig gets the job done.
- 800 gallon -- a solid mid-range choice for livestock watering and light construction dust control on a single-axle setup.
- 1,000 gallon -- popular for mid-range farms, active construction sites, and operations that need fewer refill trips per shift.
- 1,600 gallon -- the go-to for high-volume irrigation, commercial hauling, and large ranches where downtime costs money.
These trailers handle water, fertilizer, and approved liquid chemicals, making them true nurse trailer workhorses for any ag operation. Use the spray bar to cover a wide swath as you drive, or connect the fill hose to draw from a pond, tank, or hydrant on the go.

Common Applications for Agricultural Water Trailers
-
Dust Control on Construction and Industrial Sites
Fill your trailer at a hydrant or pond and wet down unpaved roads or active work areas as you drive. A 1,000 or 1,600 gallon trailer covers a long run before you need to refill, keeping your crew productive and keeping you compliant with dust ordinances. -
Irrigation Support for Farms and Ranches
Move water from your main supply to row crops, orchards, or remote field sections without running permanent pipe. The spray bar delivers an even swath so one pass does the job. -
Livestock Watering and Off-Grid Supply
If your back pasture is too far from a water line, haul what your herd needs and empty directly into stock tanks or troughs. A 500 or 800 gallon unit is easy to tow with a standard farm tractor and manageable on uneven ground. -
Chemical and Fertilizer Transport
Nurse trailers are purpose-built for applying liquid fertilizer, herbicide, and pesticide to crops. The pump and spray bar system gives you rate control, and the anti-siphon fill hose keeps your water source protected from back-contamination.
Easy Filling and Draining
The 20-foot anti-siphon fill hose lets you draw directly from a pond or watering hole for quick, safe filling. The sump-bottom tank empties fast and completely so you can move on without waiting. Two fill options give you flexibility on any site:
- Through the Anti-Siphon Fill Tube
- Drawing Water Through the Pump
For freeze protection on your water trailer, our Water Trailer Heater Blankets keep your tank at a steady temperature in extreme cold, preventing fluids from freezing and eliminating costly downtime. We customize thermal blankets to fit any tank size or shape.
Frequently Asked Questions
What Is an Agricultural Nurse Trailer?
A nurse trailer -- also called a water wagon or farm water trailer -- is a tow-behind tank used to haul and dispense water, fertilizer, or other liquid inputs around a farm, ranch, or jobsite. The term "nurse" comes from its role supplying field equipment that cannot reach a fixed water source on its own.
What Capacity Agricultural Trailer Do I Need?
A 500 or 800 gallon trailer suits small to mid-size livestock and hobby farm applications. For active construction dust control or larger crop irrigation, a 1,000 or 1,600 gallon unit reduces your refill trips and keeps you more productive through the day. A Sales Specialist can help you match capacity to your daily water demand if you are unsure.
Can I Haul Potable Drinking Water in These Trailers?
Some tank configurations are built with food-grade materials suitable for potable water. Contact a Sales Specialist to confirm which size and configuration is right for drinking water use on your property.
Can These Trailers Carry Fertilizer or Chemicals?
Yes. These trailers are designed as agricultural nurse trailers, meaning they are intended for water, liquid fertilizer, herbicide, and pesticide applications. Always confirm the tank material compatibility with the specific chemical you plan to use before filling.
Are These Trailers Road Legal?
The trailers include DOT-compliant LED lights and fenders so you can legally tow them on public roads between fields or to a remote site. Brake type -- surge or electric -- depends on the trailer size and configuration your Sales Specialist recommends.
What Is the Difference Between a Water Trailer and a Water Wagon?
Nothing meaningful on a farm or jobsite -- both terms describe the same tow-behind tank-and-pump unit. "Water wagon" is more common in agriculture; "water trailer" is the term used more often on construction sites. We use both because our customers search for both.
Do You Offer Freeze Protection for Water Trailers?
Yes. Our Water Trailer Heater Blankets are custom-fit to your tank size and keep fluids at a consistent temperature through harsh winters, preventing freezing and protecting your pump and lines.
Also Available: Stationary Farm Water Storage
If you need on-site water storage to supply your trailer or to hold reserves between hauls, we carry a full line of farm tanks to fit any space and budget.
