Description
Put more of your field to work and get maximum irrigation coverage with a uniform watering pattern. Zimmatic’s lateral irrigation systems—the 9500L and 9520PL—are a top choice for increasing crop quality and adding value at harvest.
2- or 4-wheel carts are available, depending on system requirements power can be supplied by an onboard diesel and generator set (plus onboard pump for ditch-fed systems) or by commercial power delivered through a heavy-duty, mining-type cable.
Zimmatic lateral move irrigation systems can be guided by furrow, aboveground cable or buried-cable methods.
TWO MODELS TO MATCH YOUR OPERATION
If you’ve got a square, rectangular or “L-shaped” field, a standard lateral move irrigation system brings more of your crop into full production. With a choice of water supply and guidance systems, each system can be customised to your individual needs and situation.
