400 Gallon Blending Tank

[HedgeBird]

I am in need of a larger blending tank and am about to pull the trigger on this Closed Top—Conical Bottom tank from St. Pats for $4,350.  Before I purchase I though I would see if anyone can point me to any better/cheaper options.  This tank is larger than I actually need but fits the bill in every other respect.

What I must have:
400+ gallon capacity
Sloped bottom drain
Cooling Jacket for glycol/chill filtering
Extra tri-clamp port (side or top) for mounting mixer

What is nice about this tank:
Man way
Sample Port
Termo-Probe
Level Gauge

I needed a tank just like that, But got to looking around and found a used Milk mixing tank for less that half of that price. It came with a single phase, 220v lightning mixer, jacketed cooling and it's own chiller. I see your right in the heart of dairy country. You might want to look around. I'm sure you could find the same thing pretty close, And save even more money if you pick it up.
