Subject: RE: T-L PIVOT PROBLEMS



SE Nebraska
I have the rubber hose coming off on two to three towers every year. It is not always the same towers doing this. I have double clamped them on each side of the hose. I would love to have someone tell me how to fix this because you never know when it is going to happen. I am running 50# pressure. This is on terraced ground so the pivot does twist some. Somtimes it runs all night like that until it is checked the next morning. Then you have to wade out in the field and loosen the clamps, slide the hose back on the pipe and tighten the clamps again. I also have a Zimmatic. It does not do this and it has never been stuck. I have never had any problem with it in 6 years. The T&L gets stuck at least 5 times a year. I also have to calibrate every year for chemigation and the pivot gets slower each year. I have always changed the filter each year. Both of mine are 1/4 mile pivots.
