Where To Buy A Used Center Pivot
 ✖  |
When Buddy Jones started installing and repairing irrigation equipment in 1987, he had no idea that his family operation would eventually employ nearly 20 full-time people. Today, Buddy’s son Kevin Jones heads the operation that serves customers in several states. They sell and install used center pivots and other irrigation equipment, as well as new systems. Jones says they do the installation work for customers within a 75-mile radius of their office and ship equipment to customers in other states and even overseas.
“We learned several years ago that farmers can’t always afford the newest and best products out there, but they still need equipment, so that realization put us in the used market,” says Kevin. “We acquire good used equipment from farmers who are retiring or who trade it in. We’re also in an area where pivots are being removed as farmers receive assistance with flood irrigation. That gives us an always-changing inventory.”
Jones Irrigation offers and prices its used equipment based on the system size, number of towers, year it was built, the model number, and how many hours it has been operated. “Systems from around here are in excellent shape because the water doesn’t cause pitting or decay the pipeline. The reddish color on the pipes is easily removed by cleaning and systems that are 20 to 30 years old have good integrity and operate good as new.”
Jones Irrigation provides service for all brands of pivots. The company also does electric conversions, installs and repairs meter loops and pump panels, installs VHS motors, locates and repairs ground faults, installs and repairs underground pipe and fittings, along with wiring and trenching.
