Valley X-Tec

OVERVIEW

The Valley_® X-Tec^®  center drive motor delivers the ultimate combination: top-performing speed for quick irrigation cycles and dynamic power to take on the toughest terrain. Featuring Valley FastPass™ technology, you can apply a light application of irrigation to cool crops, improve chemigation and foliar applications, and deliver even greater uniformity. Patented alignment technology and a robust DC motor keep your center pivot moving at a smooth and consistent pace, even over varied terrain.

BENEFITS

• Ideal during germination: Frequent, light application maintains surface moisture during germination.
• Keep crops cool: A light mist creates a cooling canopy for high-value crops during the heat of the day.
• Avoid erosion: Proper moisture stops loss of topsoil and prevents damage to leaves during early-stage crop growth.
• Simplify crop protection: Apply pesticides and fertilizer, reducing ground and aerial trips, as well as potential cross-contamination.
• Save time and money: Chemigate and fertigate quicker; avoid over-watering areas that don’t need it; use less water overall; and manage split crops more effectively.

FEATURES

• More efficient: FastPass technology delivers continuous movement, operating up to twice as fast as standard AC motors.
• Full torque: Advanced DC drive delivers full torque at any speed.
• Add strength: Steel gears provide more strength than powdered metal.
• Longer motor life: Aluminum finned housing runs 20° cooler for a longer motor life with no paint to chip, scratch or corrode.
• Less corrosion: Internally vented junction box prevents moisture and contaminants from corroding the wire connections.
• Durable: Crop guard protects shaft seals for extended life.
• Reliable: Integral pinion gear eliminates coupler and improves reliability.
• Quieter operation: Helical gears create more tooth contact than spur gears, providing more torque capacity and quieter operation.
