ABSTRACT:
A low capital investment system for irrigating a relatively large area field, comprising a mobile base, and a sprinkler mounted on the base and adapted to accumulate water from a water supply and to intermittently discharge accumulated water in an irrigating stream over the field. Apparatus is provided for propelling the base in a back and forth movement traversing a field, and for generally reversing the water discharge direction each time the direction of travel is reversed.
The sprinkler includes a novel, resiliently expandable reservoir construction for accumulating relatively large volume, intermittent bursts, and a drive system which also provides relatively short range, continual irrigation. Separate sprinkler units can be used on a field concurrently, or a single unit can be moved over successive areas of a field until the whole field has been covered. The system may also be combined with a center pivot device to irrigate land that would otherwise be unused.
