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. |
