Tongue Water Trough & Gutter Catch Kit

Turn your mobile covered hay cart into a self-contained feeding and watering station for remote pastures and turnout paddocks.

Built from heavy-duty 16-gauge folded sheet metal and welded steel, our Tongue Water Trough & Gutter Catch Kit captures rainwater runoff straight off your cart's roof and routes it neatly into a tongue-mounted stock tub—saving you daily trips hauling buckets or dragging hoses across wet fields.

Why Barn Owners Love It:

Automatic Pasture Top-Offs: A standard 4×6 or 5×8 cart roof captures roughly 20+ gallons of fresh rainwater per inch of rainfall, automatically refilling your pasture tub during spring, summer, and fall storms.

All-In-One Mobility: Because the water tub cradle mounts directly onto the trailer's A-frame tongue, your hay and water move together as a single unit whenever you relocate the cart.

Equine-Safe, Heavy-Duty Routing: Features a crush-resistant folded sheet-metal eave channel (not flimsy residential vinyl) paired with a 1-1/2" flexible black downspout pipe clamped cleanly down the vertical post and arched smoothly over the top rim of the tub.

Built-In Debris Screen: Includes a perforated metal leaf and chaff guard inside the eave trough to keep hay seeds and leaves out of your horses' drinking water.

What’s Included in the Kit:

Heavy-duty folded 16-gauge sheet-metal eave gutter with debris guard

1-1/2" flexible black rubber downspout line with stainless steel mounting clamps

Welded steel A-frame tongue cradle platform (finished in gloss black enamel)

Heavy-duty 15- to 20-gallon rubber stock water tub (fits snugly in the cradle; easily lifts out for dumping and scrubbing)
