Irripod Plus System Management
Moving Times – 12 or 24 hours, dependant upon system design.
Return Times – Range from 8 to 14 days and are determined by soil structure, pasture/crop type, water availability and local climate conditions.
 
Moving Irrigation Lines
Irripod Plus lines have been designed to be moved whilst still operating. The system can be moved simply and safely with very little effort.
Movement is typically done by an ATV. Do not exceed ATV manufacturer’s recommendations for maximum towing weight.
Use markers on the fence to align the irrigation line movements at required increments.
Picking up irrigation lines is done using the Hansen Tow Hook and Tow Rope which is secured to the ATV or other farm vehicle.
Ensure the ATV or farm vehicle is facing the direction the line is to be towed.
In one smooth movement proceed to skid the Feed/Sprinkler line towards the marker sign at the other end of the field, keeping the line within a couple of meters of its self for as long as possible to prevent pod rollover. Once line is in place unhook and proceed to next line.
