140 Acre Sprinkler

1974 Valley 10 Tower
This is an older unit installed used in Sept. 1996
As you can see in the photos it is a clean well kept unit.
Every fall the gear box drains are pulled to drain water and
every spring they are topped off with grease.
Very little water accumulates because the drops have been modified
to not spray water on the tower and the sprinkler tracks.



































This is the storage/settling pond, it services both sprinkler
systems.




This is the screen for the 140 acre sprinkler












30hp electric motor and pump supplies approx.
840 gpm at the tower. There is about a 12 foot drop in
elevation from the pit to the tower.
Electric motor was rebuilt Sept. 2007.
by M&S Electric Motor Repair of Fort Morgan, CO.
It has only been run 5 days since, that was all the water I
had left for the season.
