Evergreen Watermaster Reel Gun

An overview of how we set up and use our Evergreen Watermaster Reel Gun to irrigate our fields. The Evergreen Watermaster is made by Valley Fab Corp (valleyfabcorp.com/) in Brooks, Oregon. It has a Komet 160 big gun sprinkler.

Very cool. Love the inside look into farming.

I have looked at irrigation sprinklers for fire protection f my property at the lake. We have a lake and pumps but these sprinklers would be prefect, for a fixed position. Mount them up on 20-30ft poles and watch the water fly...

nice job👍

[@justgivemethetruth]

That's nice machine. What are you growing, and how often do you have to water?

[@FrontPorchFarm]

justgivemethetruth The field shown in the video is orchard grass-alfalfa mix. How much water the crop needs depends on the temps, the crop and the amount of rain or wind we may get between cuttings.

Do you have to re-engage that clutch after pulling the hose out? Does the engine need to be run while irrigating or just during setup?

[@FrontPorchFarm]

After pull-out re-engage the clutch and start the motor to rewind the hose. the motor just needs to idle to rewind.

Nice looking reel set up. What is the nozzle you are using in this video?

[@FrontPorchFarm]

We run .69" to .89" nozzles. I'm not honestly sure which we where using in the video.

[@aacg2]

Pardon my ignorance, but what kind of water source do you have to have for this to work? is that well water?

[@aacg2]

How many acres does your farm has and how many acres does the Reel Gun cover per pull?

[@FrontPorchFarm]

Alex/Anna Gouveia We have a surface water right, our farm's irrigation water comes from a local river.

Looks like a lot of work to grow hay !! Glad we don't have to do that

[@HergenriderCattle]

how hard is it on fuel? what size tank does it have?

[@FrontPorchFarm]

Jed Hergenrider The gas version like we have has an 18 Gallon tank. It uses about 5-7 Gallons in a 24 hour period.

How to by this sprinkler

[@FrontPorchFarm]

We bought direct from Valley Fab Corporation in Brooks Oregon.

[@syed-eo1zb]

Does it works in sugar cane?

[@FrontPorchFarm]

i bet it would, but you would need a road through the cane to run it through. We have a nursery just south of us that has three big reels and he has a height extension to get the gun up above the trees.

[@Majoofi]

It looks expensive.

[@PetesFarmingVideos]

What's that real worth in CAD dollars

[@FrontPorchFarm]

New they are about $40,000, in us dollars.
