Greenfield Mini - Pivoting Linear irrigators bring all the labor savings and water savings, plus the improved crop yields of automated, low pressure irrigation systems to smaller acreage applications. The system follows a ground level guidance line while pulling its own water feed hose. At the end of the field the entire spray line is pivoted through 180 degrees around the feed cart, stopping automatically in line for the reverse watering run on the opposite side of the lane way. This gives an average 6 span system an effective coverage width of 1,240 feet while using the same hydrants for both runs. Overall length of the watered area is only restricted by the time necessary for each watering cycle.
Full safety shut-down protection is built into the entire control and guidance system.
The user friendly control panel provides push-button ease for all control functions. Depth of water to be applied is dialed up in inches. Power is transmitted to the ground via heavy duty, fully sealed, oil lubricated worm drive wheel gearboxes and extra wide 26 inch flotation tires for minimum ground pressure and positive traction.
