The new Pierce CornerMaster System benefits from the latest in control environments. Using variable-frequency drives, Constant Move Technology is utilized to control the speed of the pivot and the corner span. As the machine moves through the field, the control system determines how much water is required during acceleration or deceleration and adjusts the water application accordingly, to minimize both under- and over-watering. Coordination of the variable drives is accomplished by a unique linear slide mechanism between the end tower and the corner span. This eliminates the stresses placed on the corner by the pivot.
As part of their ControlMaster Series for the Pierce CP-600 Center Pivot System, Pierce will shortly release the EvoTouch Control Panel. The EvoTouch has standard generic wi-fi protocol that is compatible with all the mainstream internet browsers. Utilizing the latest in high-resolution touch-screens, the EvoTouch boasts screen brightness almost twice that of most cell phones.

Installing Part-Circle Rotators on Hose Booms minimizes wheel tracking issues and maximizes the effectiveness of part-circle devises as compared to mounting on straight drops. The IACO Hose Boom is the only boom recommended by Nelson for use with the Part-Circle Rotator.
Whether you are using tried-and-true water dispersal units requiring a length of hose or the latest technology in part-circle units, the Hose Boom takes it in stride. Leave a length of hose hanging or pull it up close to absorb side force and control rotational torsion.
The Hose Boom features a unique torque clip and side-force control fitting to hold the part-circle water pattern in place. With built-in dampening you have system stability and extended wear life.
Sixteen feet of 17-gauge galvanized tubing means a full 15 feet of offset. With 24 feet of hose already installed, you have a totally non-corrosive connection-no more rust flakes. New galvanized brackets with slotted holes make for easy assembly. IACO now manufactures a 10-foot Hose Boom, providing just the right amount of offset necessary when installing PC-R3000 Rotators.

Valley Irrigation, the leader in precision irrigation, continues to give growers more choices by introducing the new Valley DropSpan for center pivots. The DropSpan allows growers to irrigate additional acres with a center pivot by "dropping" spans upon arriving at a large obstruction in a field, allowing the center pivot to continue irrigating. Valley Irrigation is focused on engineering new products that allow growers to expand their operations.
The Valley DropSpan allows growers to put every possible acre under mechanized irrigation-acres that were never irrigated before, or were irrigated with a less-efficient method, can now be picked up with a center pivot. In addition to the DropSpan, the Bender160, Bender30 and corner machines from Valley irrigate additional acres for a low investment.

To help increase the wetted area of a center pivot irrigation system while using the same amount of water, Senninger offers unique 125-degree goosenecks. Combined with truss rod hose slings, Senninger's single 125-degree gooseneck provides simple positioning of drops along a center pivot. The 125-degree arch directs the hose toward the truss rod. Senninger's double 125-degree gooseneck offers a simple installation of additional drops along a center pivot to two applicators. The truss rod hose slings support the flexible hose to prevent kinking, while also reducing pattern interruption from colliding streams.
By spreading the same flow over a larger area, impact of the sprinkler pattern on soil surface is reduced, also decreasing surface sealing and water run-off. This larger distribution area eases the rate at which the soil is required to absorb irrigation water. When irrigators utilize these helpful products, they can convert wide-spacing machines to closer drop spacing, reducing, or in some cases, eliminating the need to weld extra outlets.

Making irrigation easier and more efficient for growers is the purpose behind three innovative products available through Double M Ag and Irrigation. Located in American Falls, Idaho, Double M is always working on ways to increase productivity for growers across the country and the world.
Three irrigation products Double M has to offer for the grower include: a pivot jack, poly-lined boom back and Starr Trak.
The pivot jack is similar to a trailer jack and can replace a High Lift or Handyman jack. It is placed under the base beam of the center pivot in order to raise the pivot and change tires in the field.
The poly-lined boom back increases the durability of an existing theory by using a poly-lined tube to decrease the probability of forming rust.
The Starr Trak is a particular piece of equipment that is a flotation device for the center pivot wheels. It increases the flotation on the pivots so they do not get stuck and turn off. This decreases the probability of the pivots turning off and the crops not receiving the necessary water irrigation.

MorpH2O Water Management, LLC, is dedicated to providing cost-effective water management solutions for lawns and landscapes. Their motto is "Transforming Water Management-Worldwide."
The Aguamiser interrupts scheduled irrigation events when soil moisture is at or above a pre-determined level called an interruption point. Once the interruption point is determined, the Aguamiser will stop scheduled but unneeded irrigation events. When the irrigation timer/controller opens the 24-volt circuit to the remote valve, the Aguamiser takes a soil moisture measurement, compares it to the interruption point and cuts the common if the soil moister level is at or above the interruption point. This prevents over-irrigation without ever having to adjust the timer/controller while maintaining a beautiful turf and landscape.
