Traditionally, turf grown for commercial purposes has been irrigated using labour intensive hand shift pipes. However, Brett Sweeting from Turf the Lot Dubbo is now reaping the benefits of upgrading to Zimmatic Centre Pivots. Turf the Lot leases 2 properties, one with a 186m Zimmatic centre pivot on an 8 hectare paddock and another part circle 285m centre pivot on 14 hectares.Brett said “We are now using half the amount of water we traditionally used and the centre pivot efficiencies is saving us thousands of dollars in labour. Whilst the investment in the Zimmatic centre pivots is a costly initial outlay, labour savings produced by the centre pivot efficiencies pays for the capital outlay very quickly. For example I believe we are saving $2000 per month on labour costs on the 14 hectare property alone.”

How to reduce over-watering under Centre Pivot Irrigators?
To reduce over-watering on laterals and centre pivot circles you need to run different forward and reverse irrigation plans. We have the solution with Growsmart Precision VRI. Learn more about eliminating run-off & ponding.
Formed Outlets Minimise Threat of Rust & Leakage
No leakage & a 20 year warranty.
TEAM Irrigation installs Zimmatic pipelines with formed outlets. A formed outlet uses a tapered-to-tapered thread connection instead of a looser fit welded-on couplings that can contribute to rusting & leakage
10 Reasons to Repackage Your Pivots
To add pressure regulators to compensate for pressure fluctuations and stabilise flowrate.
To replace old technology for better irrigation efficiency.
To improve irrigation uniformity.
To operate at lower pressure and save energy.
To improve crop yield and get higher return per mega litre.
To adjust average application rate.
To replace worn out sprinklers and nozzles.
To minimise operation costs.
To improve wind resistance.
To reduce runoff and solve wheel-tracking problems.

Team Irrigation offers a full range of water application solutions for centre pivot irrigators and lateral move irrigators, as supplied by Nelson Irrigation. From control valves to pivot sprinklers and pressure regulators to end guns - the package is complete. Efficiency and effectiveness are at the heart of Nelson's superior irrigation packages.
Nelsons' 3000 Series Pivot Products take into account the variety of soils and their differing content of sand, silt and clay. Water droplet size and energy affect both wind fighting ability and the integrity of the soil structure. Team Irrigation will choose the product that best fits your soil type and maximise efficiency.
Centre Pivot Irrigation has proven itself to be a highly effective and efficient means of irrigation. With the installation of Nelson sprinkler packages, we are able to take advantage of improved uniformity and high application efficiency. Solve problems of run off, while increasing yield and grade.
