How fast can a pivot "walk" during planting/harvesting seasons to get out of the way of different activities ?

Fj are you saying it takes a little bit to get that center tower out of the way on a 1/2 miler, Even if it’s a zimmatic?

That’s 44ft per minute at the end tower as it’s the only one running 100% and I have never timed one but divide that by 4 and you might be close to only the end tower movement
Put it like this if you need to move 1/4 mile unit 90 degrees plan on around 3 hours zimmy tall rubber Edited by Kansas99 - 09 May 2022 at 8:26pm |

It's been about 10 years since I've been around an irrigation system but IIRC, it took an 1/8 mile pivot about 30 minutes to move 90 degrees.

Takes 12 to 16 hours to make a full turn at 90%.
