When it comes to gear that’s tough enough for the paddock but won't blow the budget, you can’t go past a **1000L pod**. Most blokes just call them "pods," but whether you’re storing liquid fertilizer, molasses for the breeders, or just need a reliable water cart on the back of the ute, a reconditioned IBC is the smartest way to go. Why pay top dollar for a brand-new poly tank when a high-quality A-Grade pod does the exact same job for a fraction of the cost? At Drum King, we make sure our pods are pressure-tested and cleaned properly. If you're looking to [**buy 1000L pods**](https://www.drumking.co/buy-ibc-tanks-brisbane) for stock water, we’ll steer you toward the right grade so you aren’t risking cross-contamination. They’re easy to stack, simple to plumb into a trough, and built to handle the Aussie sun. > Need to kit out the property for the next season? Don't pay retail prices for storage. > [**Get a Quick Quote on 1000L Pods for your Farm**](https://www.drumking.co/buy-ibc-tanks-brisbane) ##### **Quick Specs for the Paddock** When you’re setting up a water or fert station, you need to know the footprint. Our **1000L pods** are built to a standard size for easy transport:[![Reconditioned 1000L pod for sale Brisbane](https://www.drumking.co/hs-fs/hubfs/photo_2025-07-17_05-57-49-1.jpg?width=300&height=300&name=photo_2025-07-17_05-57-49-1.jpg)](https://www.drumking.co/buy-ibc-tanks-brisbane) - **Dimensions:** Roughly 1200mm x 1000mm x 1160mm. - **Weight:** About 60kg empty, so two blokes can move 'em, but you’ll need the forks once they’re full (1,000kg+). - **Base Options:** We supply pods on steel, plastic, or timber pallets depending on what you’re doing. For long-term paddock use, we recommend steel or plastic bases to avoid rot. **Why Reconditioned?** Buying reconditioned isn't just about the price — it's about the "circular economy." By choosing a recovered pod, you're keeping high-density plastic out of landfill and reducing the carbon footprint of your property. ## Share this post [mailto:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.drumking.co%2Fblog%2Fbuy-1000l-pods-agriculture](mailto:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.drumking.co%2Fblog%2Fbuy-1000l-pods-agriculture) ## Keep reading ### [![Stacked 1000L pods in a Brisbane manufacturing facility for waste oil collection.](https://www.drumking.co/hs-fs/hubfs/Gemini_Generated_Image_5c99615c99615c99(2).png?width=1408&height=768&name=Gemini_Generated_Image_5c99615c99615c99(2).png) Managing Bulk Liquids with 1000L Pods](https://www.drumking.co/blog/buy-1000l-pods-industrial-waste) ### [![Food grade 1000L IBC tank suitable for bulk food-safe liquid storage in a Brisbane processing facility.](https://www.drumking.co/hs-fs/hubfs/Gemini_Generated_Image_gb3olkgb3olkgb3o.png?width=1408&height=768&name=Gemini_Generated_Image_gb3olkgb3olkgb3o.png) Food Grade 1000L Pods: Keeping Your Batch Clean](https://www.drumking.co/blog/food-grade-1000l-pod) #### Supplying 1000L pods, IBC tanks, reconditioned drums and liquid waste solutions.
