East of Broken Bow | If you have bad water, the all red Reinke would be my first pick, they seemed to be the most corrosion resistant machine. Otherwise, I'd say Valley 8000 if you can afford it, and pretty much everything else is pretty equal. Note that my 2 top choices will also be the most expensive to buy, or at least they are around here.
For all the grief people give T-L pivots, their planetary gear boxes are probably the longest lasting drive system out there in terms of hours of use before they go bad. I've run Valley 8000, Zimmatic, T-L and Reinke pivots, all of them old, and they all have their strong and weak points. Wouldn't be afraid of any of them. Very little experience with the Valley 7000
One thing I might add if you get a lot of windstorms, try to avoid a long overhang. That seems to be the first thing that tips over.
