[QUOTE="chukar, post: 1138706, member: 15658"] Kathy, We put in roughly 35 acres of k-line about 3 years ago. It does take some "getting used to" when it comes to moving them, but it takes 15-20 minutes to move the 17 varying length lines. They are in 10 different paddocks that I rotation ally graze through. We were all flood irrigated before these and except for the power costs I wouldn't go back. The best part is having the paddocks being able to irrigate when needed and put the water where you want it. The first year I moved them with a 250 three wheeler and it worked just fine, but you will want a four wheeler, about 500cc at biggest. That way you can pull up next to the tow rope, bend down, hook it up and go. Moving them with a side by side is a pain, as you have to get out every time. [/QUOTE]
