Service Offered WHAT'S NEW •Jt only one side of the pumping unit. Lindsay’s side-fed version is designed for ditches which are too wide to span with the common 20-ft. wide center power unit. In this version, the center span unit would be placed beside the ditch with the pump intake gomg out over one of the drive units. This version can be used where existing ditches are too large or soil conditions do not permit constructing a center ditch with sufficient capacity. Where a concrete rather than a dirt ditch is used, the center-fed comes in two versions. On a concrete ditch with a slope of up to 50 feet in one mile, a weir assembly can be attached to the power unit intake which keeps a sufficient pool of water available to the system. Or the other choice is a level concrete ditch intake which runs on two wheels in' the bottom of the ditch. The design simplicity of Lindsay’s exclusive guidance system allows the Lateral Move to reliably maintain a straight course up to a mile or longer. No complicated remote signals or underground components offer potential maintenance problems. The system can be designed in widths up to one-half mile or greater depending on field size. The Lateral move also comes with options on pump and engme sizes. For more information contact Lindsay Manufacturing Company, P.O Box 156, Lindsay, Nebraska 68644.
