The Valley Bender30 and Bender160 options increase the number of acres a grower can irrigate at a low cost. With the ability to bend any drive unit at 30-degree and 160 degree angles, a grower can easily wrap a tree line, feed lot, or avoid other obstacles in the field to allow for maximum irrigated acres.
