Seriously new thinking...
Stop press...stop press..!!!
We are about to launch a significantly new irrigator at the 2009 National Fieldays at Mystery Creek. It will still have a single boom (which gives long range and good wetted widths) but it incorporates an oval gearset to allow the boom to speed up and slow down twice during each revolution! Yes, that's right, we've veered away from the oscillating principle which gave a good application pattern because we have established this new technology which does the job more simply and reliably.

If you are a dairy farmer, we want you to use this machine to spread farm dairy effluent (or water) but in conjunction with adequate effluent storage. Adequate storage let's you avoid the application of effluent in the wet and cold season when much of it would otherwise reach another water body and contaminate it. (See our article on deferred irrigation)
Our Spitfire Intelligent Irrigator changes the way you irrigate...
- You shift this machine half as often compared to equivalent rotary machines! The 50 - 55 metre wetted width means you irrigate 1.5 ha for each 15 minute set-up.
- You get a measured amount of liquid applied to the pasture because the machine is governed and travels at the correct speed for the desired application. (8 mm to 60 mm) You simply change one selector switch to achieve this.
- The machine spreads water or effluent uniformly and shuts off the flow at the end of travel so that it doesn't leave a big pond at the end of the run.
Only a Spitfire Intelligent Irrigator can do these things, and it's packed with other features.
If you want to apply liquid more uniformly, in known amounts and with less labour, then this machine will manage it for you. What's more, with four nozzle sizes, it's really four machines in one. Water or effluent - no problem! The time for guesswork is over. Your Spitfire is a measuring tool for modern farming. Click here for an irrigator brochure
