Here's what

owners are saying…

“Alfalfa takes a lot of water and likes it fairly often—I put on seven to eight inches for each cutting, an inch each round. If I couldn’t irrigate, I couldn’t raise alfalfa. It didn’t seem like the ones with T-L’s were having many problems with them at all, while those who owned electrics appeared to be working on them all the time.” — Blaine Garrelts, Brady, NE

“I’ve heard of people who were electrocuted while working on these systems. I have had several close calls, even melting a few screwdrivers in the process. T-L’s hydraulic technology totally eliminates this danger.” Now in their eighth season of operation, our T-L center-pivots have outpaced the electric systems in dependability. — Kenny Rodgers, Belzoni, MS

“The primary reason for my switch was the amount of downtime on the electric. There was continual maintenance of microswitches and tower boxes, and it required three-phase power. And our T-Ls work in heavy clay soils. These old buggers really get a workout. They’re built tougher than the electrics.” — Tom Bailey, Ephraim, UT

“An entire half-century of making circles? Well, with our family’s first seven T-L center-pivots now working their 27th season, I’m more than a little confident with that statement. Each of our electrics will average three to four service calls during the season. Our records show total average outlay for work on the T-Ls to be less than one-sixth the average maintenance bill for an electric unit.” — Reed McClymont, Holdrege, NE

“My gosh! The pivot’s still running!”

“Safety, dependability, and ease of maintenance.”

“I’m an electrician, and even I couldn’t

keep my electric center-

pivot running consistently.”

“T-L is second to none in the market.”

“And with good maintenance, one should

run for 50 years.”

Powered by hydraulics for continuous movement.T-L’s hydrostatic drive offers many features not available on electric pivots. Unlike the stop-and-go action of electric models, each tower on a T-L system moves continuously. This is especially beneficial on low-pressure systems where uniform water application is critical for irrigation-applied fertilizer, herbicides and pesticides. Chances of a T-L tower getting stuck are reduced because of the improved traction that continuous movement provides on wet, rough terrain. A constant, smooth rate of travel also reduces wear on all drive components, while eliminating the wasteful power surge required to get a stopped tower moving again.

There is no wasted horsepower with a T-L because the power required to run the pump varies directly with the rotation time of the pivot. All T-L Irrigation Systems utilize non-toxic Hydroclear™ hydraulic fluid with an additive package specially designed to provide superior wear protection. The filtered hydraulic system assures long life.

Power SourcesA T-L hydraulic pump can be powered

by any convenient power source.

Belt Drive

Electric MotorSingle or 3-Phase

Engine

Pivot point available with hydraulic swivel or wrap hoses. Inset photo shown with collector ring and strobe light.

Manual Speed and Direction ControlYou can control your rotational speed and direction with two simple hydraulic valves. With years of field-proven operation, the Manual Speed and Direction Control option is the industry’s simplest, most reliable management tool.

T-L Precision Point Control IIFeatures independent forward, reverse, and auxiliary speed setting by field position from the control panel. The pivot can also be stopped or reversed at predetermined positions. System speed information is shown for precise water application and there is a large backlit screen for easy viewing. This control has the major features of the TLC Pivot Manager without the complexity of computer programming.

T-L Point Control You can control pivot speed and direction from the pivot point or remote locations other than the end tower.

TLC Pivot Manager The next generation of computerized pivot management from T-L. Reports operational performance, controls multiple system outputs, provides readings for water and hydraulic pressures, monitors speed, sets a watering schedule and more.

T-L Remote MonitorCan be utilized on all T-L management systems. Communication can be designed with a cellular or radio connection to fit your specific requirements.

Management Systems T-L offers the two most efficient drive systems available.

Choose from two types of hydrostatic drives: worm gear drive or planetary. Both offer continuous movement and have no exposed, moving parts.

T-L planetary and worm gears are totally enclosed and they are coupled directly to the hydraulic motor, eliminating a center drive gear. Conventional U-joints and other exposed moving parts aren’t part of the T-L design. Motor and gear drives are easily accessible in the event service is ever required.

Worm Gear Drive

Planetary Gear Drive

Continuous movementmeans extended gear life.

Alignment Control SystemT-L systems maintain alignment through the use of a simple hydraulic spool valve. The alignment system moves the spool valve, metering the required hydraulic fluid flow for each tower maintaining continuous movement and alignment with the end tower. This simple hydrostatic control is vastly superior to the start-stop microswitch design used with single-speed electric motor drives.

Maintenance free, the valve spool is made of corrosion-resistant stainless steel. If a tower gets stuck or seriously misaligned, the valve will bypass hydraulic fluid through a return line to the pump, stopping the system and preventing major damage. Sensors shut down watering simultaneously with the system.

T-L System Structures are the best in the industry.

Tower StructureT-L towers feature a heavy-duty pipe base and four vertical angle iron tower supports as a welded and dip-galvanized structure. Heavy-duty tower braces provide additional stability necessary for rugged terrain and furrowed conditions.

Double Bolt ConnectionHeavy-duty galvanized rods with truss tabs notched before welding allow for uniform stress on the truss rod connection. One bolt could hold the connection, but T-L uses two grade 5 bolts to reduce the shearing force on each bolt. It is another feature that keeps a T-L running trouble free … longer.

T-L Flex JointsThe T-L system features an extra tough external flex-joint, designed to withstand uneven and rolling terrain. The external flex-joint design assures a full flow of water with minimum pressure loss and turbulence.

T-L’s own Hot Dip Galvanizing TreatmentWe begin with heavy-duty steel mainline pipe, truss rods and tower structures. All are galvanized in T-L’s own modern facility to ensure uniform quality. The hot-dip galvanization process chemically seals the steel components. Our heavy-gauge mainline pipe is rolled into varying diameters for maximum water-flow, minimized friction loss and reduced pumping costs. Automatic drains at every tower empty the system after each use.

T-L has options for any field, any crop.

T-L Water Patterns

High pressure impact sprinklers

Medium pressure impact sprinklers

Low pressure rotating, spinning or wobbling sprinklers

Low pressure spray nozzles

Choose from high, medium, low pressure, LEPA or modified LEPA (Precision Mobile Drip Irrigation) sprinkler packages and rest assured you’ll get the best water uniformity with T-L’s continuous system movement.

Auto End Gun Booster Auto End Gun Shutoff

End gun shutoffs are hydraulically actuated for reliability with either hydraulic or electric pivot controls. Again, simplicity of design is superior.

Automatic Reverse

Ideal for systems where field obstructions prevent a full 360° operation.

Position StopStop your pivot at any degree of the circle with T-L’s optional position stop.

Here's what

“When a neighbor asks me what I think of T-L center-pivots, I always say, ‘If you want to be messing with your pivots all the time, buy a ‘Spark-O-Matic.’ As for me, well, I’m sold on T-L. I want to concentrate on what I’m supposed to be doing, not spending my time trying to make pivots run.” — Blaine Garrelts, Brady, NE

T-L’s hydraulic technology totally eliminates this danger.” Now in their eighth season of operation, our T-L center-pivots have outpaced the electric systems in dependability. — Kenny Rodgers, Belzoni, MS

“An entire half-century of making circles? Well, with our family’s first seven T-L center-pivots now working their 27th season, I’m more than a little confident with that statement. Each of our electrics will average three to four service calls during the season. Our records show total average outlay for work on the T-Ls to be less than one-sixth the average maintenance bill for an electric unit.” — Reed McClymont, Holdrege, NE

“My gosh! The pivot’s still running!”

“Safety, dependability, and ease of maintenance.”

“T-L is second to none in the market.”

“And with good maintenance, one should

run for 50 years.”
