The T-L Difference is what farmers refer to when their experience with irrigators has been with electrical systems. T-L's don't combine the dangerous elements of water and electricity. Instead they are hydraulically driven. Hydraulics are something that most farmers are familiar with and comfortable with working on themselves.
What little maintenance and problems arise with T-L units, the farmers can usually repair it themselves. Another advantage of hydraulically driven units is the even distribution of water. With a constant speed, a uniform amount of water can be applied to the whole field. There is no starting or stopping causing non uniform coverage and uneven yields.

Notice the non-uniform water application of the center pivot circles shown. This is known as "spoking, " which results from the start-stop operation of an electric drive pivot system. An electric pivot starts and stops 2,880 times a day at the end tower alone.
Michigan State University field research (Fusco, 1995) verified the significant effect of "spoking" and found application uniformity ranged from 15% to 85% on a leading manufacturers electric drive pivot.Call up Google Earth Maps on your computer and see for yourself. Common sense would say the consequence of "spoking" is lost crop production and that production losses can be even greater if the system is being used for chemigation.

Copper theft is a concern when using an electric pivot system. T-L's hydrostatically powered pivot systems can be designed with no wire to steal, eliminating the problem. T-L irrigation systems are easier on you for a lifetime! Brothers Jim and John Stevens utilize ten T-L and eight electric center-pivot sprinkler systems on their 4,000-acre farm near Alledale, Illinois.
Hydrostatically powered, T-L systems are designed to deliver continuous movement. Gearbox wear is drastically reduced due to the absence of electrically driven system's stop-start operation. In addition, water and chemicals are evenly distributed over the crop. T-L systems deliver the best, most consistent water pattern available.
T-L pivot systems are protected by comprehensive manufacturer's warranties. Planetary gearboxes are guaranteed for 8 years/24,000 hours, and worm gear drives are protected for 8 years/16,000 hours due to our hydraulic design and continuous movement performance. This warranty is unmatched in the irrigation industry and reflects T-L's confidence in the system's design and field performance.
