Circle Trip Device For Traveling Irrigaton Systems IRRIGATION Acessories 19-4-37 My new "circle trip" device for traveling irrigation systems automatically changes the gun's spray pattern from a full circle to a half circle to keep water off highways, rows of trees, fences, etc.
The "circle trip" device on the irrigator gun is tripped by a stake driven into the ground at the appropriate spot. It changes the gun's spray pattern to a half circle. The gun continues to make a half circle until the irrigator is pulled back far enough that it's tripped by the same stake and again makes a full circle without shooting any water out the end of the field.
It lets you put the same amount of water on corners as on the rest of the field with-out wasting water. It can save about 30,000 gallons of water per gun every night. In some states irrigation water falling on high-ways can result in fines of up to $10,000 or having your permit pulled for pumping water.
I've built four units so far for a local farmer. I've used them for three years with no problems. I sold them for $150 each.
I'm looking for a manufacturer. (Galen T. Watson, Rt. 3, Box 476-A, Trenton, Fla. 32693 ph 904 463-7039)
