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.”

Irrigate More Acres Without Buying More Equipment

 

TEAM Irrigation clients seek solutions to maximise the number of acres irrigated by centre pivots and often the best solution is a Mobile Move Centre Pivot. TEAM Irrigation help clients plan a towing pattern to spread a grower's irrigation investment over as many acres as possible.
Investing in a Mobile Move Centre Pivot makes good sense, especially when you consider how much time, effort and worry you waste when you use a different type of irrigation system or no irrigation system at all. Some of the prime examples of situations that are ideal for putting a Zimmatic Mobile Pivot are...

• You are irrigating with solid-set or a traveling gun and you want to cut your time and labour costs
• You're adding or replacing a pivot near other fields that could be irrigated
• You want to spread your irrigation investment over as many acres as possible

TEAM Irrigation can help you plan a towing system allowing you to irrigate multiple fields or fields with irregular boundaries.
