ABSTRACT:
A stop system for a pivotal irrigation apparatus or system. The stop system includes a ladder-like platform which is laid down flat on the ground in the projected path of travel of one set of driven tower wheels, so that the wheels are driven upon the platform. Each wheel of one tower becomes aligned in supported relationship within a set of spaced rollers. The rollers support the rotating wheels of the tower and prevent relative movement of the tower respective to the ground. Consequently, the tower is rendered immobile respective to the other towers of the traveling irrigation system. This action causes the traveling irrigation system to be shut down, whereupon all of the tower wheels are rendered inoperative. When it is desired to move the traveling irrigation system, the spaced rollers are locked against rotation and the tower wheels energized. This causes the wheels to rotate and drive the tower off of the platform in either desired direction of travel.
