[QUOTE="MrBilly, post: 233608, member: 87"] I can't depend on old Momma Nature for moisture anylonger, so we will put in irrigation and use our 50 A watershed lake as the water source. Was thinking about K line or Irripod like pod sprinklers, but I want to irrigate at least 50 acres and I just can't see my self out there dragging those things around day in and day out. Nothing is going to be easy, I realize. I think we will go with a hard hose traveler that puts out 350 gallons per minute? I realize also that there is quite a bit more evaporative loss with the gun and some more chance of puddling with it also. Anyone using a traveler? What's your opinion? and how much trouble is it to move them around? how much do you tear up the grass in the process? cAN YOU LEAVE THE TRACTOR HOOKED UP TO IT (MINE HAS A CAB SO IT SHOULD BE PROTECTED FROM THE WATER) RATHER THAN UNHOOKING FOR EACH PULL? Thanks. Billy [/QUOTE]
