ABSTRACT:
A self-propelled linear irrigation system including an elongated line move having a plurality of sprinkler outlets along its length, a plurality of mobile supports spaced along a line move and a main tractor having water pipe outlet engaging member and a fluid powered prime mover is disclosed. The propulsion system comprises a pneumatic system involving a main compressed air line and compressed air storage tank on the main tractor and each mobile support. The tractor of the irrigation system has automatic coupling members for coupling to the water supply and compressed air supply and automatically propels itself from one compressed air and water station to the next compressed air and water station along a main supply line. The main tractor has a main rigid central section having connecting members for connecting the tractor with the elongated line move and a first and second valve car, each having extensible propulsion members connecting each valve car to the main section. The tractor also has a drift correction system to maintain the tractor and line move traveling along a straight course, parallel to the main water supply line.
