Corner Swing Arm
Valley® Corners Maximize the Productivity of Your Land
Since its 1974 introduction, the Valley® corner machines have been irrigating square, rectangular and odd-shaped fields...efficiently and economically. The steerable corner arm lets you match the unit to your field's configuration. You can order your Valley corner configured to specifically match the needs of your field.

Precision Corner™ Swing Arm
Uniform Water Application
Sprinkler sequencing is no longer just monitoring the corner angle and arbitrarily turning on the sprinklers. Sequencing is now optimized by Compu-Spray™ software that accurately calculates the area being irrigated under the corner arm, based on corner angle, pivot length and current status. More sprinkler sequences than any other corner arm improves water application uniformity and delivers better crop yields. Operation of machines without pressure regulators has been enhanced by software that continuously adjusts the speed, based on available pressure.
Uniform Chemical Application
Crop protection chemicals and fertilizers can now be uniformly distributed using a fixed-rate chemical injection pump. In the "Chemigate" mode, software continuously adjusts the speed, based on the area being irrigated.
Travels Over High Slopes
The Valley Precision Corner Swing Arm handles the same field slopes as all other span joints. Wider wheelbase gives more stability for rough ground applications.
Irrigates the Whole Field
Longer 205' (62,4 m) span (287 ' [87,4 m] with overhang) provides greater coverage. The Valley Precision Corner Swing Arm can lead or trail to better fit special-shaped fields.
Faster Revolution Time
Modern technology yields faster revolution time. Easily adapts to standard or high-speed operation. New variable-speed drives ensure reliable, high-speed operation even over rolling terrain and deep furrows.
Electronic Diagnostics
Easy-to-use control panels on the Valley Precision Corner Swing Arm indicate the cause of safety shutdowns. Test switches provide a quick check of proper sprinkler operation. LED screen is easy to read in all light conditions. Rocker switches allow operator to recover from safety shutdown without a service call. |
