Just brought home a 150 gal stock tank (similar to the rubbermaid ones, except by Freeland Industrys) Just wondering how difficult it is to put a bulkhead in one of these. Anyone have any experience drilling them? Search came up empty.

We just use a regular hole saw on the plastic tanks. The hole will have some rough edges, so you just clean it up with a utility knife before intalling the bulkhead.
I haven't seen these stock tanks made by rubbermaid & Freeland Industries, but, if they are plastic - polypropylene - you can very easily drill.
A forstener drill bit will give a cleaner hole, then a hole saw, but either will work.
Just remember to go slow / little pressure as the drill bit passes through the plastic, so you don't crack / chip.
