The T-L Difference
T-L Linear Irrigation Systems use up to 60% less water than flood irrigation and cover almost 98% of a rectangular field. Critical to higher value crops, T-L’s continuous movement performance delivers the most precise water pattern available.
T-L Linear irrigation systems share the same hydrostatic design features as our pivots and are fitted with T-L’s new GPS guidance system.
T-L offers various options in their line-up of Linear Irrigation systems including pivoting and towable laterals.
Carrfields Irrigation’s highly experienced centre pivot engineers’ mission is to provide simplicity, efficiency, exceptional performance and longevity to T-L’s centre pivot irrigation systems.
With over 60 years of experience, T-L has accumulated thousands of hours of pivot and lateral irrigation product research and development, resulting in systems that can be relied on to contribute to farming and irrigating success.
T-L offer a variety of options with their pivots with a range of pipe sizes to accommodate a wide range of flows, GPS guided corner arms and simple towable systems.
The team from Carrfields Irrigation are here to offer expert advice and assistance from design, to implementation and servicing to ensure farmers can maximise the benefits of their irrigation system.
T-L’s hydrostatic drive delivers numerous advantages electrically driven centre pivots can’t:
Continuous machine movement, which is critical to uniform water distribution, especially in low-pressure situations; Improved traction reducing the chances for getting stuck; and a constant-pressure-variable volume hydraulic pump ensuring full torque at any speed.
T-L’s centre pivot’s unique alignment control valve will stop the system if the system gets stuck or seriously misaligned. A sensor will shut off the water at the same time. Structural and crop damage are avoided. T-L drive units, unmatched in strength and traction, receive continuous power to each wheel from hydraulic motors that are directly coupled to the final drive gear assembly.
T-L centre pivots are specifically designed for low-speed, high torques applications, they operate equally well in either direction. Our planetary gear drive operates at nearly 90% efficiency. They get the power to the ground with a minimum of wasted energy.
This system includes Real Time Kinematic (RTK) high accuracy GPS and follows an easily adjustable path eliminating the need for installing complicated underground infrastructure to guide the arm.
T-L corner arms maintain continuous movement utilizing T-L’s patented hydraulic alignment controls. Smooth, accurate steering is achieved using a powerful hydraulic cylinder.
Comparing T-L’s corner system to electric: T-L’s corner irrigation system guidance is achieved through simple, safe, low voltage controls operating strong and dependable hydraulic power. This dramatically simplifies the control of the system.
T-L’s continuous movement reduces wear on the corner connection since the arm does not stop and go every minute of operation. The T-L corner adjusts to the constant speed of the center pivot end tower and maintains a uniform speed and connection position.
