- Dairy pasture. New and second-hand centre pivots and permanent sprinklers on grazing paddocks. See Pasture Irrigation.
- Travellers. Hose-reel machines for odd-shaped paddocks and effluent spreading. See Travelling Irrigation Systems.
- Hops and vegetables. Drip and overhead systems for high-value blocks that cannot go short of water.
- Pivot breakdowns. Gearbox, tower drive and sprinkler package faults during the growing peak. See Farm Irrigation Repairs.
What Contractors Look at on George Farms
- Rain between irrigations. The district gets rain in most months, so many systems are sized to top up rainfall rather than carry the crop alone.
- Soft paddocks. Pivot towers can bog down in wet ground, so contractors check tyre choice and wheel track drainage.
- Dark river and dam water. Tea-coloured water carries organic matter that collects on screens and nozzles, so filters need regular attention.
- Grazing rotation. Paddock layout and grazing cycles decide where hydrants, sprinkler lines and pivot stops go.
Getting Quotes in George
For pivots, send the circle size, the pump details and the distance from the water to the pivot point. If you are buying a second-hand machine, ask for an inspection of the spans, gearboxes and sprinkler package before paying.

Agricultural Irrigation George FAQs
Is a pivot or permanent sprinkler better for George dairy pasture?
Pivots suit large, fairly flat circles and need little labour. Permanent sprinklers fit small or oddly shaped paddocks and work around grazing more easily.
Can a traveller spread dairy effluent?
Yes, hose-reel travellers and big guns are often used for effluent. Ask for a pump and nozzle that handle solids, and check what authorisation effluent irrigation needs.
How often should a pasture pivot be serviced?
At least once a year before the main irrigation season, covering gearboxes, tyres, the sprinkler package and the pivot point.
