The innovative drive
system adapts its operation automatically to all variations of
operating conditions, contributing to the gun's great flexibility.
The drive system is mounted on a strong and rigid drive arm.
The gun's slow,
steady rotation with greatly reduced vibration in both directions
has the advantage that the carts of reel hose machines stay straight
on track and the risk of tip-over is reduced. This smooth operation
is suitable for all irrigation systems, especially as an end gun on
center pivots where stress on the end boom is kept to a minimum.
The unique drive
system allows a better stream diffusion. Over the whole pressure
range its operation is excellent. An additional advantage of the
drive system is that at the start-up procedure of the gun, the
normally compact stream is dispersed into a spray before the gun is
set in motion. This greatly reduces furrows and run-off. Because of
the Twin's superior distribution close to the gun, spreader nozzles
are not needed.
