Labor-Saving Device For Crossing Over Irrigation Pipe
I've developed a labor-saving device for crossing over sprinkler, aluminum pipe, and tee-taped irrigated fields. It's a pair of curved aluminum ramps designed to support a tractor or other equipment. I came up with the idea so I could cultivate or spray without having to turn at the main irrigation line. As a result I had to make a choice - either destroy the crop or take the mainline apartáand lose valuable time and labor.
One grower who uses the ramps says they keep him on his planting schedule and that the labor he saves paid for them half way through their first season of use. The only requirement is that the irrigation line be laid in a small ditch about 12 to 14 in. deep. This provides a place for the water to go in case of a leak and protects the valves when the tractor and cultivator passes over.
The ramps sell for $1,150 plus S&H. (Richard Giusti, BW & F Mfg. & Repair, Hwy. 113, Box 277, Robbins, Calif. 95676 ph 530 738-4301; fax 4448)
