How To Stop Center Pivot Ruts Before They Start

How To Stop Center Pivot Ruts Before They Start IRRIGATION Here’s a new concept in center pivot irrigation – spraying water behind the wheels to avoid deep wheel ruts Ryan McConnell’s new Auto Dry Track System stops ruts before they start by using half nozzles to spray a half circle of water to the sides of the towers and behind the tires “A second advantage is that you don’t spray water on gearbox seals or center drive seals which extends their life And you can harvest without deep tracks which extends the life of field equipment ” says McConnell He sells a complete package ready for installation that includes galvanized parts and brass solenoid valves which attach to the pivot’s frame The system is electrically wired into the forward/reverse contacts of each tower with no structural changes to the tower The system waters 100 percent of your farm ground and works automatically in both directions “It automatically switches directions when your pivot changes directions No manual switching is necessary ” says McConnell The system can be used on all pivots – full circles half circles wiper and linear systems – and installed on all makes and models of new or existing pivots The Auto Dry Track System sells for about $800 installed per tower Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Auto Dry Track Systems Inc 293 Roundhouse Rd Lewistown Mont 59457 ph Lloyd Parsons 406 366-3194 or Ryan McConnell 308 235-5187; autodrytrack@gmail com; www AutoDryTrack com
