Unleash the Power of Precision Farm Irrigation

Water is your most fundamental input. Every crop depends on it for essential functions like photosynthesis, cooling and absorbing nutrients. Ensuring that every corner of your fields is precisely, thoroughly, and uniformly irrigated is a critical factor in your yield.

The Thunderbird End Drive Wheel Line Irrigation System is engineered to simplify the precision application of water, in ways not possible for flood, or center pivot irrigation. The system spans up to 3/8 mile, reliably moving across the field, irrigating for longer periods of time, driving salts deeper, and giving your crops better access to essential nutrients, which enhances your yield.

Simple Maintenance, Lower Cost

Well-engineered, robust irrigation system is simple to maintain and repair when necessary. No waiting around for repair technicians so downtime is minimized and you can focus on things that matter most.

Modular Design

Positive pin locking makes adding or deleting pipe sections fast and easy. The hub locking system lets the pipe flex within the wheel hub, minimizing mechanical strain, which can contribute to component failure.
