Farmfact 6-47

Pivot systems which are used for effluent application can run long hours – often in excess of 5,000 hours per season. This is especially the case if there is limited storage on farm and the pivot is the main applicator. Carrying out preventative maintenance is very important. A system that is not working correctly poses an environmental and business risk. This Farmfact contains a list of common maintenance checks for pivot irrigators.
