The Valley® Universal lateral is designed for swing-around farm irrigation applications. Unlike other swing-around laterals, the Valley Universal can automatically switch between lateral mode and center pivot mode, allowing you to increase your number of irrigated acres.
Maximize irrigated areas: A lateral typically irrigates 92-98% of a square or rectangular field. Increase profitability: A lateral can help reduce labor costs up to 50% compared to surface, side roll or hand-move irrigation. Water conservation: Laterals conserve water by applying the right amount of water when and where it's needed. Various applications: Lateral irrigation does more than just irrigate. It can also be used for chemigation, fertigation, germination and leaching. Valley quality: Each Valley lateral comes standard with made-in-the-USA Valley gearboxes, providing you with the reliability, durability and quality you expect from the industry leader.
