Tower Jack Designed For Irrigation Systems
Farmers have long faced the hazards and frustrations of maintaining center-pivot irrigation systems. The traditional high-lift jack used in these repairs, nicknamed the “Widow Maker,” has earned its dangerous reputation, while alternatives such as skid loaders are inconvenient and damage crops.
To address these issues, AGM Products has engineered a new irrigation tower jack designed specifically for center pivot and linear sprinkler systems.
“This new product is inspired by direct farmer requests, feedback and collaboration, and is a sizable improvement over our previous manual offerings,” says AGM Business Development Lead Diego Luna. “The specialized attachment and lifting arm are tailored to the unique requirements of irrigation maintenance, resulting in a device that delivers safety, efficiency and peace of mind.”
Luna says the farmer who beta-tested the system was so impressed that he vowed never to go back to other, riskier jacking methods.
Weighing only 11 lbs., the jack is portable enough to carry in a backpack or on a 4-wheeler, making on-the-go repairs and maintenance easier than ever. Its large, non-slip foot pad and cradle, sized for standard 7-in. irrigation pipes, ensure secure operation.
For versatility, the jack can be operated manually or with a 3/4-in. impact drive, making quick work of lifting a tower for gearbox changes, flat-tire repairs, or other essential tasks. The patented collar and articulating base, unique to AGM, provide superior strength, stability and safety during use.
“It’s really simple and delivers quick operation,” Luna says. “Just walk to the center pivot, lock it onto the cross beam of a tower, and lift in half a minute.”
AGM’s irrigation tower jack is manufactured in California and distributed worldwide. With the first batch of units recently shipped to buyers at the Nebraska Ag Expo, AGM is actively seeking dealers for its agricultural product line.
The unique jacks are priced at $1,499.99, with free shipping to the lower 48 states.
