dropspan

Increase profitability with clever irrigation technology

The Valley DropSpan lets growers irrigate acres behind barriers at the edges of their field by quickly dropping and reattaching the outer spans of a center pivot or linear. One person can disconnect or reconnect a span in under 15 minutes without tools, using a simple winch and batten leg system. Multiple DropSpans can be installed on a single machine, allowing as many spans as necessary to be dropped and reattached as the system rotates past obstacles.
