Hands up....Have you done your pre-season maintenance...?

Spring has sprung and with its arrival brings a timely reminder that a pre-irrigation season check up is needed for your operational system!

Turning on the pivot with your fingers crossed and holding your breath that everything just works is a potential recipe for disaster! Off season checks and maintenance will lead to better performance of your irrigation system helping you to minimise downtime and maximise efficiency!

So, what exactly should you be doing during your pre-season irrigation check up? Here are 10 things on our 'must check' list!

Perform a thorough visual inspection, looking and listening for signs of damage, missing parts, and general wear and tear of the following

It is important that repairs are carried out before you commence your irrigation program to ensure you have a correct and accurate application of water. Uneven and wasted water application can affect not only your crop yield but can greatly increase the cost of running your irrigator.

This list may appear overwhelming, especially when there are so many other jobs that need completing! If you are time poor and don't have adequate time to dedicate to completing your pre season check yourself then don't just turn it on and hope for the best, give us a call! We would be happy to come and give your system the once over and make sure that every drop counts this irrigation season!
