Any creative ideas where i can find these locally? what type of business would carry them? maybe even used? is there anything specific i should ask for or make sure its made out of due to the constant SH in them?
Try Fleet Farm or Tractor Supply I've found them at these locations. You might also find them at a plumbing supply business (that's where we were able to locate ours). You do not want to purchase a used tank (you have not idea what it was used for). Also, don't get one with a bottom drain plug. There is other information on this site if you use the search engine to help you with this info.

Tractor supply or any type of farm equipment sales company carries them. Might check with a drink manufacturer or bottling company. Any used for any type food product are a one use item. Can be bought CHEAP or maybe even free. Check the search function above.
I started { and still use } with a forty gallon tank which I think is perfect for a guy starting out. You can get one from here delivered with tax and shipping $100.00 http://www.plastic-mart.com/class.php?item=215
Ill check out plumbing supply places, Tractor Supply is on the pricey end and looks like all there stuff has predrilled bulk heads.
I think i want to start with a 100-125 gal 40 would worry me about just being big enough and no room for error, however i went to that site a few times shipping is a killer!.
I started out with 35 gallon barrel works just fine for me but it was free I still use it when need to take off the trailer when can not get close to the work site.

I would go with a 100 or 125 gal. tank. The 35 or 40 will work just fine, but eventually your going to be doing larger roofs or multiple roofs in a day, and you don't want to be constantly refilling your mix. Time is money.
i got 2 55gal drums from a local building supply for $12.50 each. I also have a 225gal plastic tote from a honey dist company for $65. You can also check craigslist....good luck
Sometimes you can find used water tanks on craigslist. Use www.searchtempest.com and you can search all the craigslist ads in whatever mile radius you choose. You won't have to search by certain areas of your state.
I just found one today,actually by accident.The guy I work for part-time owns a motorcycle junkyard.People around here knows he'll pretty much buy anything with a motor.Anyway,we went out to the golfcourse to pick up some things he bought.I knew we were going after a huge golfcourse thingy and an ice machine.I asked him what else we had to get and said,that thang over there.It was a 125gallon sprayer,which would be nothing(I don't think) to convert into a cleaner.It was only used with water,so no problems with 'Love".Sorry such a long story,but maybe you could check with your local golf course and see if they have one to get rid of.I know I'm hitting all of these around me now.Good luck
Will the 75 gallon fit in the back of a Ford F-150, just bstarting out here so I am trying to set up my Pickup truck to start out then work up from there. Gilly
Just keep in mind that you cannot carry more than 100 gal of fresh SH without a chemical handlers stamp on your license and DOT testing. A 125 mix tank will be plenty, but the 40 or 50 would work well too. Fresh SH weighs 10lb per gallon and I like to carry a light load on a smaller truck for residential work and we just carry 3-55gal drums for tanks.
