I’ve worked on bigger irrigation reels and there all similar but I use a riser in a field that runs to a lagoon full of pig manure so I’m used to moving them
I can relate to the lack of rain. It's looking very dry in NSW Australia. No rain all winter. If we don't get rain early spring, with Summer temperatures of 105+ degrees f and no river supply to keep the irrigation going due to the legal powers that govern the flow upstream, it's looking like it may be a tough year. Need to buy a new mower conditioner but am holding off until I'm convinced it will get work.
Tube don't go all the way to bottom, elevator don't go all the way to top, feller u u better hang on to that gal, she is a Jewel not to mention a good camera man, OK I am just yanking ur chain, enjoyed the videos
How many gallon per minute does that well pump? I irrigate here in n.c. Kansas. I have a couple pivots and a lot of flood irrigation!! What part of Texas are you in? Looks like Bermuda hay?
York Peppermint Patties! I KNEW I liked you all for a reason! We were laughing this morning about why it rained here last night. Yesterday I cut my lawn and dumped the bagger out to let the clippings dry since the trash gets picked up on Wednesdays and I didn't want wet grass sitting in the bin that long. Sure enough, it rained last night!
yeah there the best product ever that is built to last and biuld tough my buddy at kubota sold 9100 of them and tractors because the prices were cheaper wich he ha a kubota M6-141 141hp with front mount 3 point hitch with pto and loader,bucket and forks and snowblower wich he selling for $53,000 wich not bad for the big package wich the newholland dealer is $139,000 and deere $149,000
i want one of those travelers for myself but i dont have the room nor the cash. one with a p200 mounted on the cart would be awesome. but they sell for about 5-7000$
Scott Freeman what model is it? I've got some runs that are 670 ft so it should work about right... I'm wanting to use them on pasture and rotate them to different paddocks cattle aren't in.... cattle are hard on wheel lines like i currently have
idoutdoors it's a T200L and I bought them through waterreels.com out of Kansas, Terry is a great guy and will spend as much time as you want helping you with whatever you need.
Lucas Makk 155 acres, but I run this ranch on my own. I used to do a lot more with help, but the smaller I got the more money and better product I made. I'm wanting to go even smaller.
North Texas Hay I meant to pump water from the tanker truck to the water reel so not to have all that hose laying on the ground. Or put in irrigation camels to pump water from. I used cotton hulls from the gin and some sand to amend my hard pastures
+Ron S the reels go through 100 gallons a minute, so a pond is the only option for them. Putting stations in the field from my well wouldn't work because i need 100 psi at the reel and with my center pivots running I couldn't come close to that. Tilling or plowing my fields isn't an option because I would lose a year of production from it, I don't think putting anything on the surface would do any good either. Punching holes every cutting seems to work for me fairly well, but being in sand is optimal for growing Bermuda grass.
Oh wow. 100 gallons a minute. That will drain a pond quickly. I feel for you. Canals or underground pipe seems the only solutions different than what you are doing. I did punching after every cutting also but spread sand and hulls before. Feeding 250+ head cattle. A few years back in the drought years I had 2 wells and 2 stock tanks go dry and stay dry for several years. Had to buy lots of hay. 20 miles east of Austin.
You do what you gotta do.
We have rain come down all around us too. But not on us. Without water, its a desert.
I’m in NE TX and its the same here. Rain until its time for hay. Then nothing during haying season.
I’ve worked on bigger irrigation reels and there all similar but I use a riser in a field that runs to a lagoon full of pig manure so I’m used to moving them
If you ain't gettin rain, ya need to pay the preacher more......LOL
I'm not a farmer but I get the same kind of rain as you, rain all around me but not on me! I dream of having a small farm one day.
Tyler Ruthenbeck I hope it happens for you

Jono it's sounds like you might have a tougher time than I'm having, I hope it goes better for you than you think it will
Aww, I just read your other comments section and see that you closed the operation. Anyway, maybe these companies can still help other farmers...

Harold Brown thanks
Hope it rained! That’s a lot of work. Good video.

+Karl Jacobson north central Texas.
I love your commentary. :D

Lol
What is the cost of the irrigation equipment
We have the same problem with rain here in Gippsland Australia. We call it the Moses Effect. The rain splits an goes either side:(
+Steve Panozzo lol!
The little pump at the pond, can u give a little info on it, like gpm and psi at head, plus what kind it is.
Around 80 psi. Gorman rupp fire pump
I've heard that in Texas you can bog down in the morning, and stir up dust in the afternoon.....I have always heard them called "traveling guns"
David Goethe xxx I've been kicking dust the last 2 years
Great video
👍👍👍❤️
very nice video ,found your channel yesterday that water wheel works very good, about how many acres does is cover. Thanks
Bill King it takes me about 6 1/2 days to cover 23 acres with 1 inch of water
Thank you
good powerful kubota rtv sure cant beat these little beast
Michael Mac Tavish life would be much tougher on the farm without it.
yeah there the best product ever that is built to last and biuld tough my buddy at kubota sold 9100 of them and tractors because the prices were cheaper wich he ha a kubota M6-141 141hp with front mount 3 point hitch with pto and loader,bucket and forks and snowblower wich he selling for $53,000 wich not bad for the big package wich the newholland dealer is $139,000 and deere $149,000
What size area can that cover at one time?
i want one of those travelers for myself but i dont have the room nor the cash. one with a p200 mounted on the cart would be awesome. but they sell for about 5-7000$
Thanks for the video.
A lot of pivots in SOWEGA.
What is the capacity of your well ?
How long is that water reel, been thinking of getting a couple myself...
idoutdoors goes out about 600 ft and your supply line can be 1000ft. Great units for small areas.
Scott Freeman what model is it? I've got some runs that are 670 ft so it should work about right... I'm wanting to use them on pasture and rotate them to different paddocks cattle aren't in.... cattle are hard on wheel lines like i currently have

I’ve worked on a large hog farm my freind has we use lagoon water but I’ve moved larger reels
How many acres is your operation?
Lucas Makk 155 acres, but I run this ranch on my own. I used to do a lot more with help, but the smaller I got the more money and better product I made. I'm wanting to go even smaller.
That is insane all that work that having a water truck would eliminate.
+Ron S tried a water truck, there is no way to lay enough water down to grow hay with it.
North Texas Hay I meant to pump water from the tanker truck to the water reel so not to have all that hose laying on the ground. Or put in irrigation camels to pump water from. I used cotton hulls from the gin and some sand to amend my hard pastures

Just sub today. Do guys just sell your hay or do you feed it to. He got his set up down to a tee. Plus the boss lady will find something for him to do
Kenny Mysak I sell my hay, its my only source of income.

You are sooooo attractive. Lucky man.
Frank Owens I am a lucky man
You are Scott. I like your channel. Keep up the good work.
