Would it be possible for all the dirt and stuff that floats around an old barn to get into the plug and light switch enclosures, with all the wet weather we have, and cause a small amount of voltage draw across the hot and ground wire? Just a thought. I do have a ground rod at the base of the breaker box that goes up to the ground buss with a #8 or so copper wire. The waterier is about 25 yards from this point. The heating element appears to be good, as it works with the bare ground wire loose without any stray voltage in the water. The voltage is coming back from the barn? Would it hurt to leave the bare copper ground unhooked and drive a ground rod at the water and ground that way? I know I still have a problem to fix but the cattle would have water that would not shock them. If I have a bad ground at the ground rod would this cause this? The power comes to the meter pole were it splits and goes to the house and to the barn, the main ground wire goes into the ground at the base of the pole, I guess as deep as the pole is set. When it gets to the barn it drops into the breaker box and out to about 6 circuits with a ground rod at the barn. All that is in the barn is lights and ele. plugs with nothing plugged in at this time. What if any kind of voltage should I see, would be normal on this wire. Thanks for every ones help on this, kind of a strange deal for me?????

The discussion started out with the following post: "I was about 14 (part of the problem) when I got stuck. I was disking with a cab equipped IH 966. The window was dirty and I was driving into the evening sun. It was hard to see and it was my first pass down the field. I got the tractor so stuck that the underside of the tractor was resting on the ground. My uncle wanted
