When only two tank loads of mulch mixture will complete a job, both the machine and the auxiliary tank can be filled with a high volume water source, and then taken to the job site*.
When a job calls for three or more tank loads, the auxiliary tank can be put on the ground at the job site and filled with two or more garden hose water for continuous on-site loading operations.
* Note: When the machine and the tank are filled at an off site water source, and the trailer is loaded with mulch, the total trailer weight will be about 12,000 lbs. This much weight requires strong trailer axles and brakes and an appropriate towing vehicle.
Also, care must be taken to have proper trailer balance.
