摘要: A low capital investment system for irrigating a relatively large area field, comprising mobile base, and sprinkler mounted on the base adapted to accumulate water from supply intermittently discharge accumulated in an stream over field. Apparatus is provided propelling back forth movement traversing generally reversing direction each time of travel reversed. The includes novel, resiliently expandable reservoir construction accumulating volume, intermittent bursts, drive which also provides short range, continual irrigation. Separate units can be used field concurrently, or single unit moved successive areas until whole has been covered. may combined with center pivot device irrigate land that would otherwise unused.
