Hard hose irrigation systems or reel travelers are comprised of a length of hard hose made of polyethylene plastic and a large hose reel on a trailer. They have a motor that rolls the hard hose onto the reel, pulling the trailer forward as it does and can be used with hoses of different diameters from 1-½ to 5 inches with travel paths set to anywhere from 150 to multiple hundreds of feet.A hard hose traveling irrigator is designed to sit at the edge of a paddock where it is attached to a hydrant. The trolley or sprinkler cart is then pulled out, the leftover hose can be left on the reel. Then as the machine irrigates the reel winds the cart back into the machine.
Uses of Hard Hose Irrigation
Hard Hose Irrigation or traveling gun irrigators are very convenient as they allow you to irrigate multiple areas as well as irregular areas without the cost of installing permanent sprinkler systems for each one.
