- Pivots. New, used or towable centre pivots for potato circles.
- Potatoes and other vegetables. Water plans for short crop cycles, part of vegetable irrigation.
- Borehole pumps. Submersibles matched to yield and head through pump installation.
- Machine servicing. Gearboxes, tyres, wheel tracks and nozzles checked during pre-season maintenance.
Sandveld Factors Contractors Check
- Groundwater. Boreholes are the main source, so yield and water quality decide how many circles can run.
- Sandy soils. Sand drains quickly, so pivots apply light, frequent passes.
- Rotation. Potatoes are rotated, so a pivot may be towed between fields.
- Water quality. Salty water affects crops and equipment, so a water test helps.
Quoting in Graafwater
Plan pivot work well before planting. Send circle sizes, borehole yields and the power supply, and expect the contractor to walk the tower route before quoting.

Agricultural Irrigation Graafwater FAQs
Is a second-hand pivot a good idea?
It can cost much less than new. Have the gearboxes, spans and sprinkler package checked before you buy.
Can one pivot be used on several fields?
Yes, with a tow kit, if the fields are close together and the water can reach each pivot point.
How often should a pivot be serviced?
At least once a season, before the main irrigation period starts.
