Linear-Move Irrigation Systems
Linear-move machines deliver reliable, high-coverage irrigation for rectangular and irregular fields. They move across the field in a straight line — providing uniform application, lower labor needs and excellent water management for large-scale and specialty crops.
- High coverage — irrigate up to 98% of a rectangular field.
- Lower labor — automated travel reduces manual handling.
- Flexible feed — hose, ditch or trough feed options.
- Adaptable — ideal for specialty crops, sugarcane, vegetables and sod.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do linear systems get their water?
Linear systems typically use hose, ditch, or trough feeding. We help you choose the feed method best for your layout and water source.
What maintenance is required?
Regular checks of wheel drive, gearboxes and sprinklers. We offer preventive maintenance plans and spare parts support.
Can a linear be converted to a pivot?
The Universal model supports dual mode operation. Our engineers assess feasibility based on field shape and hydraulics.
