Irripod systems are no different and can be configured in many different ways to suit different field sizes and water source limitations. This example layout shows 5 pods installed on a line with an extra length of supply tubing connecting to a water source in the center of the field. Supply tubing is used so that the Irripod system can be shifted to different positions around the field without disconnecting and reconnecting to the mainline, saving labor. This example is designed with 8 different shift positions. After irrigating in shift position #1 for the appropriate amount of time, the pod line is shifted by an ATV or other vehicle to shift position #2 and left to irrigate. This is continued until all 8 shifts have been irrigated, then the cycle can be repeated starting back at shift #1. Note that in most cases the system should be shifted while irrigating. 1 Shift position #1 Pod line Pod Supply Line Underground main line Connection point to main line 3 5 7 (not to scale) 2 4 6 8 tow rope cam loc Shift position #2 (not to scale) 2 4 6 8 1 3 5 7 Universal Sales www.universalsales.biz 5-1-11 In this example the pods are spaced about 45’ apart. The tow hook is about 5’ from the end pod. The cam loc connecting the pod line to the supply line is about 5’ from the first pod. This makes the pod line about 190’ and the supply line about 110’. Different pod spacing, shift spacing, number of shifts, sprinkler nozzle size, and run time can change the amount of water that is put down to match different soil types and evapotranspirat ion rates. Consult an irrigation designer for a design that would work best for your area. This Ranch Pack pod kit is expandable to cover different sized areas. To add more tubing and more pods contact your local Irripod dealer. Couplings and other fittings are available. Step 1: Leave the system on. Connect the tow rope to the ATV in the direction of the next shift location. Step 2: While the system is still running, tow the pod line down the field and cross over the supply line. Step 3: Make a gentle turn and line up the pods into the next shift position and pull to the end of the field. Step 4: Unhook the tow rope and leave the pod system to irrigate. Repeat steps 1-4 until all shifts are complete, then start back at shift #1. How to shift a “Ranch Pack 5” Irripod system: Universal Sales www.universalsales.biz 5-1-11 (not to scale)
