Hi, I would appreciate your help with a few technical terms regarding ploughing and farming implements.
The guide is from a village in Spain (Castilla La Mancha), so some terms/implements might be specifically from there, but an English equivalent will do perfectly.
They are part of a guide and there isn't much context except for a line or 2 as they are just short explanations.
Context is:
"El zaque de goma es un recipiente utilizado por los agricultores y pastores oara sacar el agua del pozo a los animales"
Thanks :)

zaque [in italics]
I would leave the Spanish word in italics because the rest of sentence explains what it is exactly. If you use recipient or bucket the explanation will become repetitive.
Zaque = Recipiente de cuero para sacar agua del pozo

I translate a lot of texts from the Canaries where historical or autochthonous terminology is used in everyday language. I generally leave the original in italics and put an explanation in brackets. In your case you don't even need the explanation because it forms part of the text.

Note from asker:
| Thanks liz :) I didn't want to use bucket so it isn't confused with the "normal" wooden bucket used for people. |

Sorry, not sure what to put instead of bucket, but...
Pues voy terminando, pero he de deciros que mañana Dios mediante iremos a DAR DE MANO a una alquería que le dicen la MORALEJA, esta es una finca muy grande, también tiene un gran POZO de agua aquí si hay garrucha y en vez de cubo utilizan un ZAQUE de goma que hace las veces de cubo, y la soga la suple por una cadena

| Thanks :) Rachel it's exactly what appears in your link. It is a sort of bucket, but I don't want to use the word bucket as I don't want it to be confused with the bucket usually used in a well. This seems to be something unusual used for extracting water for animals. The photo is a black round object without a top. |
