My T-L will maximize our water with precise watering techniques.

T-L pivots are a great value. They are simple, and it needs hardly any repairs. The machine will pay for itself.

I don't know what it is, but I also don't seem to have as much trouble with the nozzles clogging up on the T-L units as I do with the other units.

“We would have been better off if we would have had T-L pivots all along.”

The river 'washes' seven of our twenty T-L sprinklers almost every spring

T-L pivots just won’t die, the reliability and dependability have been outstanding. They just last a long time.

My T-L system has been trouble free and worry free. That's worth an awful lot. It's difficult to put a price on not having all that additional stress.

"Anything We Buy In The Future Will Be A T-L."

“They’re easy to work on and when it was time to install more pivots I went with T-L again and will in the future.”

I'm pretty impressed with my PMDI installation with 30 inch spacings. And, while I don't know for sure, since no water is being sprayed into the air I'm guessing efficiency is close to 98 percent.

There’s no doubt about it. Evaporation loss is less with a T-L pivot.

T-L: The King of Equipment

T-L pivots definitely have more advantages in comparison with the electric pivots, such as the low preventive maintenance and repair costs. This means lower requirements for operating and maintenance staff and maximum time efficiency for higher income.

T-Ls certainly run a lot smoother, which is the thing we like most about the T-L units. We feel like they should be a lot safer, too, since there's no high voltage out on the pivots.

“If any problems appear with the electric pivots, it is hard for the operator or farm employees to fix it. You need a specialist near to solve electric pivot problems."

We like our T-Ls since their movement is just so smooth, slow and constant. Flood water hasn't created any problems with our T-L systems, and in fact we haven't had any problems at all with them.

If you watch, an electric pivot will stop and start hundreds of times as it goes around the field.

The main reason I went with T-L was I could take care of servicing and repairing them myself. Some of the farmers I talked to had to wait for four or five days with a down pivot for an electrician to arrive.

We’ve had very few problems with our T-L pivots, with the hydraulic drive, we’re able to do much of our own maintenance, and we are well looked after by our dealer

This is the best and, judging from this year’s crop, the most even water distribution system I’ve seen.

A T-L is so problem-free, We don't have to worry about anything. We fire it up, and as long as we have oil in the system and plenty of diesel in the tank, we're good.

My ten-year-old T-L has had just one gearbox go out. And that happened because a wrong wheel was put on after a flat tire.

We’ve had some of our T-L units run for 600 to 700 hours continuously without any problem at all.

With a T-L we don't have to worry about all the copper wire being stolen during the night.

I think the bottom line is that with good irrigation management, coupled with good soil and crop management practices, high yields can be maintained with limited irrigation.

I just love my T-L because it's so maintenance-free, the other selling point for me is that there are very few electrical components and nothing to get electrocuted by.

It's sure a lot safer to work on a hydraulic T-L than it is to work on an electrically powered sprinkler.

This is a simple and easy system to use and it works great with crops while being a tremendous labor saver.

We're always looking for a better return on investment, and we're happy with the money we've spent on our T-Ls.

“The simplicity of the T-L system is just unbelievable. ”

The biggest thing about my T-L is that it's been worry-free for me, I turn it on and then there are days that I may completely forget about it..

Evenly distributed watering on every square foot is one feature of T-L center pivots I can always count on

One of the best things about a T-L unit is if I ever need to work on one, I could do it myself. Most farmers understand hydraulics, since almost every piece of equipment they use has hydraulics. I wouldn't have to call an electrician.

“A Center-Pivot Sprinkler Will Raise More Crops With Less Water.”

I’ve never had to take a T-L off-line. All we do is just service them every winter.

“We’ve had the usual problems associated with the electric drive pivots. One unit has been rewired five times, thanks to copper thieves”

When they're running I can sleep better at night since I'm not worrying about checking flood sets or having a system stop due to an electrical problem.

We believe that with proper maintenance our T-Ls will run until they're 50 years old.

When we do need to do something with a T-L, we can have an employee do most or all of what needs to be done. We don't have to hire a $100 an hour electrician to come out here to fix it.

I think we use less nitrogen when we ‘spoon feed’ it on through the pivot...

The biggest plus with the PMDI System, though, is the fact that the wheel tracks remain dry.

I dropped tobacco in favor of irrigated corn four years ago and haven’t looked back!

“T-L is the only brand of pivots or irrigation equipment we own. The main reason is the reliability and the stability in the production they generate.”

Compared to drip systems, our T-L produces a micro climate that's the ideal condition for coffee. And, it's much less labor intensive and less susceptible to human and rodent damage, not to mention being easier to inspect.

This Nebraska farm family has been buying and using T-L units for three generations.

What really caught my eye was seeing that his T-Ls didn’t need electric motors out there on each wheel unit.

Our T-L just keeps going 'round and 'round. We don't have to move any pipe, either.

I can safely say this is one of the strongest stands of alfalfa that we've ever raised--and what our T-L did will definitely help us pay for the machine this year. It was a lifesaver for our new alfalfa this spring.

The T-L’s one big motor at the pivot point seems to handle the power a lot better than if it had one of those little motors on each tower as electric pivots do.

We've been happy with our T-L pivot systems. There have been no problems at all with them unless you count a tornado flipping one over, however, our dealer was quick to get here and get it running again.

The hydraulic technology that makes T-L irrigation the industry leader totally eliminates this danger.

My T-L's have been just so foolproof and consistent both in water patterns and my time and effort involved that I know they're the only way for me to go.

In a way I guess you could say it's paid with the first crop of turf I sell, because I couldn't produce it without irrigation.

I believe that irrigating with my T-Ls can make a difference between making or not making money in farming.

We think T-L's represent value for the money invested. Since we can shift a T-L pivot so easily to another field or to develop another 80 acres of ground, we figure that halves the cost of that pivot.

Irrigation can add another 100 bushels per acre. We’re seeing yields of 220 bushels and up.

They're simple enough that we can do a lot of our own repairs. T-L was the first unit Dad bought back in the late '70s and it's still the brand he prefers today for that reason.

We really like the T-L as far as the safety, the simplicity & ease of operation are concerned

“To me, it was a ‘no brainer’. They’re virtually foolproof.”

“We decided to go with the T-L pivots primarily for the safety issue offered by the hydraulic drive rather than electric drive.”

I really like the computer system on our newer T-L systems. We just program it, and the machine goes around doing its own thing. Then, when it's done, it stops and waits for us. Anything like this that saves labor is a big thing for us since we have a hard time finding good labor around here.

I have a lot of land that's really not level that would be too expensive to irrigate any other way than by center pivot, a T-L center pivot system just walks across such a field with no problem at all.

While these units require ongoing maintenance, they have performed remarkably well considering the operating conditions and the fact that these machines have been in operation for 32 years.

T-Ls are the simplest system to operate and their continuous movement helps with ruts in the field, too, since a T-L doesn't stop and start all the time.

“T-L pivots are so simple to work on that I can do most of the work on them myself.”

If I could take a vacation with all the money I've spent on T-L parts and labor over the years it would be pretty short.

“T-L pivots are ideal for the cattleman.”

The repairs on our T-Ls are definitely less. If we spend $500 a year on one we think we've spent a lot of money. Our experience has been that T-L repair costs are less than half of an electric's annual expenses.

The T-L's even water application is bound to translate into extra yield, which adds dollars to our bottom line.

Combining T-L's simplicity and reliability with a good dealer, I am confident about my T-L center-pivots. I just go out and start 'em and run 'em. I don't have to work on 'em.

Our thinking is that center pivot irrigation in general, and T-Ls in particular, don't cost. Instead, they pay off in allowing us to be more productive while using less water.

One of my neighbors runs all different brands of sprinklers however, since he's seen the T-Ls work, I think we've got him converted.

There was no guessing involved either. We knew exactly how much water the T-L pivot consistently and uniformly was putting on all the ground.

An investment in T-L pivots has helped this California dairy raise much of its own feed.

Because we only get about seven inches of rain a year, everything is under irrigation.

We feel the T-L system will pay off in three or four years. And, in dry times,that's probably more like two years.

Best of all, the T-L pivots require a lot less labor than either the side-roll systems or the electric units, and at my age, I'm all for anything that takes less labor.

Center pivot irrigation and the global market have totally transformed the cropping program on one Alabama farm.

It's an art to align electric systems. On the other hand, alignment is a breeze with a T-L.

We're seeing a one year payback on our T-Ls, and that's not considering the savings from less labor and power costs either.

With our terrain, we also felt like the continuous movement of T-L's hydraulic drive would be better suited to our application. The fields where we have pivots aren't that steep, but we do have a lot of rolling terrain and we just liked the idea that the pivots aren't stopping and starting every few feet.

While my T-L did cost a few dollars more than an electric system, it offered some things they didn't. And, I also think it's going to be a longer lasting system.

We get more running time with the T-Ls. We have shift operators who let me know every morning which rigs have gone 'down' overnight. The T-Ls give us more 'nothing down' days.

My theory was that if I didn’t like it, I could always go to a different brand on the next one. Obviously, I’ve been pleased; because we’ve bought 15 more since then.

“Safety was the big thing . . . not having to worry about somebody getting electrocuted.”

One of the things I like most about the T-L pivots is that the hydraulic drive provides continuous movement.

Once we started using those T-Ls, the irrigation water started pushing those salts back down and we began get- ting some pretty good crops.

If you have a problem with a T-L, you can generally see it. I can’t see electricity.

We'll turn on our T-Ls and run 'em all summer long and never even look at them except when we periodically grease them and change filters.

For the peace of mind and the service it gives me, I think my best dollar's right here with a T-L.

“It’s all about making the land that I own more productive.”

With T-L's we don't lose too much water from the wind blowing and so get better application uniformity, also our T-L irrigated fields don't have the erosion that we get under other systems.

It's just not about looks. T-L's are a solid piece of equipment. They're durable and ours don't show any signs of rust or breaking down after a considerable amount of use.

"I’ve priced other brands, but I’ve always stuck with T-L, partly because of the hydraulic drive, but mainly because of the dealer and the service."

This T-L has been pretty well maintenance-free. It's a great system.

First of all, T-L pivots are simple to operate and user friendly. The control panel is so easy to understand that any of my employees can set it for the desired application and get it going.

I believe the T-L is designed with a great deal of thought. A T-L is a good machine, and not one just put on the market to be a money trap.

"The fact that we’re putting on so much of our fertilizer through the pivots, particularly on grass, is one of the reasons I prefer the T-L pivots."

I need center-pivots that are dependable, that's why I like the hydraulics of the T-Ls.

Customers may at first think that a T-L installation costs more, but we're always looking long-term and designing a system to get the quickest payback.
