DIY Traveling Irrigator 

You are the kind of person I greatly respect and admire...wish I could share a drink and listen to your diy stories...judging by the gentle cow, you are a kind, smart, and thoughtful man. My kind of all-too-rare people. Bravo!..from Texas

Hi Wayne, thanks for looking at my irrigator. I would be really very interested to see you're homemade irrigator when you get it built, evan if you decide to make some modifications. This was my first attempt and I made it with what ever I could find to do the job without all the expense, that was the challenge and the fun. Please keep in touch.....cheers Len

Using the bottom half of a sprinkler as a pivot point is a stroke of genius!!!

That’s bloody awesome mate!!!!I love it,you’ve made it as simple as you can,not too complicated to work out how it all works.Just fantastic!!'!

A brilliant idea. Well explained.

How much water does it put on with one pass?

Very ingenious. Thank heavens for minds and hands like yours. Even the cows are fascinated.

Very nice and simple solution for traveler irrigation

Marvelous job mate. You should post step by step videos of your wonderful work. U r a genius undoubtedly. Thumbs up

That works a real treat! Something that size is $3000-$6000 USD here in the states. The $6000 tractor sprinklers in the USA use stainless steel aircraft cable to pull them across an athletic field. They also weigh about 120 kilos. How much does it cost to run the pump? I get about 6 hours per 24 hour day of ditch water use for my land, with the 9 shares of water. The land is kind of level, but it has a low swampy spot. I still need to repipe from the well at the school. I still .retain a 25% legal interest in that well. I am throwing $4000 of coaxial cable into the trench with the water pipe, so the school can use my radio tower, and that is 100% rent free for whatever they may need. I think the sheriff's department & fire brigade also want to use the tower and that's all fine and well. Their stuff is all small VHF/UHF. I already have some nice tuned antennas for police and fire, that should handle whatever they transmit with. Those very easy to make from 3mm solid copper wire. I just cut them a bit shorter than for the amateur bands. The ditch runs when it runs. It's on a schedule. The school's well waters a couple athletic fields, and some small patches of grass. The rest of the land is covered in buildings and parking lots.

Great work 👏

Love it

Wow. I'm impressed. Great video. Is there any way I can get the dimensions? I really want to do one like this. In other words I really need one!!!

u r a creative man..

How does the water drive it? What water driver gear ?

A true sign of genius. One who uses his genius to make his world a little better.

Well done mate, she's a ripper

Bellissimo video 👍

Great engineering skills!

Did you just use a normal sprinkler part that goes from elbow to part that spins for ? Hope that made sense. You talked about it at the end of your video.

cool!:)

Absolutely love this!!

Very cool

very good idea!
