Valley - Model 30 and 160 - Center Pivot Bender - Efficient and Precise Tool for Irrigation Systems
Tree lines and buildings can get in the way of your irrigation operation, taking away valuable acres that could be put into production. Valley® understands this challenge, and it is the reason we offer the Bender product line for center pivots. Our Valley Benders can be easily, and inexpensively, added to your existing or new center pivot to put those acres back into production, which can increase your yields and profitability.The Valley Bender options can be installed on any span tower, and multiple Benders can be added to the same pivot for maximum benefit. We offer two Bender options to fit your needs: the Bender30 and the Bender160.
The Valley Bender is an option added to your center pivot that basically "wraps" it around whatever is in its way: a treeline, a fence, a dairy, or other existing infrastructure. Two barriers are installed by your local Valley dealer on either side of the area that you want to irrigate around. When the pivot reaches the first barrier, the span tower that has the Bender installed, also known as the "bending" tower, keeps irrigating while the rest of the pivot stops. When the "bending" tower reaches the second barrier, it auto-reverses until it becomes flush with the stopped portion of the pivot, which will then resume irrigating in normal fashion.
