Water Buffalo Trailers by Application
One water buffalo trailer often serves multiple roles on a property or in a fleet. Here are the most common ways our customers use these tank trailers:
- Construction & road work: dust suppression, soil compaction, saw cooling, and equipment washdown.
- Farming & ranching: crop and pasture irrigation, livestock watering, chemical nurse tank, and tree spraying.
- Firefighting support: nurse tank for brush trucks, filling slip-in units, and providing water in remote areas.
- Arenas & facilities: arena dust control, stall cleaning, and landscaping irrigation around barns and fairgrounds.

Water Buffalo Trailer FAQs
What is a water buffalo trailer and how is it different from a standard water tank trailer?
A water buffalo trailer is a mobile water wagon that combines a high-capacity poly tank, pump, and spray system on a DOT trailer. Compared to a standalone water tank, a water buffalo trailer is road-ready, towable at highway speeds, and designed specifically for watering, dust control, and fire-fighting applications on farms, construction sites, arenas, and remote locations.
What sizes of water buffalo trailers do you offer?
We offer water buffalo trailers for sale in multiple tank sizes, including 550 gallon, 800 gallon, 1,025 gallon, 1,600 gallon, and 2,010 gallon capacities. This lets you match the size of the water wagon to your tow vehicle, job-site needs, and refilling options.
Are your water buffalo trailers DOT compliant for road use?
Yes. Our water buffalo trailers are built as DOT-compliant water tank trailers, with proper lighting, brakes, safety chains, reflectors, and trailer hardware so they can be towed legally on public roads. Models are available with surge or electric brakes depending on size and configuration.
What are common applications for a water buffalo trailer?
Typical uses include:
- Farm and ranch water trailers for livestock watering and pasture maintenance
- Construction water trailers for dust control and soil compaction
- Fire-fighting water trailers for brush fires and hot work standby
- Arena water trailers for dust suppression and footing conditioning
- General water hauling and equipment washdown in remote areas
Can I use a water buffalo trailer for fire fighting and emergency response?
Yes. Many customers use these trailers as fire-fighting water trailers and mobile emergency water sources. The water buffalo trailer includes a 25' fire hose and nozzle, powerful pump, and spray bar for fast coverage, making it ideal for brush fires, hot work, and backup water supply in rural areas.
What kind of pump and engine come on the water buffalo water wagon?
Each water buffalo trailer is equipped with a heavy-duty 2" pump paired with a reliable Honda engine for high-volume water flow. The system is designed for quick filling, strong spray patterns, and long-term use on agricultural, municipal, and construction water trailers.
Can the water in a buffalo trailer be used for drinking or potable water?
Standard water buffalo trailers are designed primarily for non-potable water uses such as dust control, irrigation, and equipment washdown. If you need a potable water trailer, let us know—tanks with FDA-approved materials and potable-water fittings can be specified for certain configurations.
What hitch types and towing vehicles work with your water buffalo trailers?
Our water buffalo tank trailers are built with adjustable hitches to fit common 2" and 2-5/16" ball mounts or pintle rings. The right tow vehicle depends on the size of the trailer and its loaded weight—most customers use 3/4-ton or 1-ton trucks or similar equipment rated for the trailer’s GVWR.
Can I customize a water buffalo trailer with extra hoses, reels, or spray options?
Yes. We can configure your water buffalo trailer with optional hose reels, additional discharge valves, upgraded spray bars, and other custom hardware. Tell us how you plan to use your farm water trailer or construction water wagon and we’ll recommend the best options.
How do I choose the right water buffalo trailer for my application?
Start with three key questions: how much water you need to haul, how far you need to tow, and what you’ll use the trailer for (dust control, livestock, fire fighting, arena watering, etc.). Our team can help you compare 550, 800, 1,025, 1,600, and 2,010 gallon water buffalo trailers, review tow-vehicle requirements, and provide a fast quote for the best model for your project.
