Pivots
Mechanized irrigation technology has changed the face of the earth. Literally. Aerial photos fifty years ago didn’t show fields as they are today.Now the countryside, especially in the arid climates of the world, is dotted with circles. Areas that farmers never before would have dreamed of growing a crop are now as fruitful as any.
Mechanized irrigation preserves our food supply, conserves our water, and just makes life easier and more profitable for those who grow the world’s food.And let’s talk profits. Typically, a grower will be able to pay for the machine within about three years, using increased profits. Pivots deliver higher yields. They use less labor, and pumping costs are often lower.
Valley® Center Pivots were the first mechanical move machines in the industry, and remain the best built. With multiple-function equipment, you can germinate, fertigate, chemigate and manage salinity through leaching. And practically any crop can be grown under a pivot, with crop clearances ranging from 1,85m – 5m, and drive units to meet crop and management needs.
