Optional Equipment

 

 
 

1.  High Pressure Shut-Off System.  This system is designed to send high backpressure 

to the pump when the sprinkler cart reaches the Water-Reel compensation/shut-off 
bar.  The pump must be equipped with a high-pressure shut-off switch.  The valve 
contains a slow-closing diaphragm that gradually increases the pressure on the 
pump.  This device requires a supply pump with a performance curve that will 
provide the appropriate pressure rise to activate the high-pressure shut-off pump 
switch (not included with this kit).  Also the pipeline to the Water-Reel must have a 
pressure rating high enough to tolerate the total pump head. 
Notice: Kifco, Inc. accepts no responsibility for any consequential damage resulting 
from improper installation or operation of this device. 

 

2.  Low Pressure Engine Drive Shut-off.  This gauge is used to stop the engine driven 

Water-Reel if the supply pump stops.  It consists of a Murphy Switch gauge and wire 
capable of grounding the engine ignition circuit if the machine inlet pressure falls 
below a predetermined level. 

 
3. Cruise Control.  Kifco’s electronic speed control offers state-of-the-art speed 

management as well as delayed start.  Information such as time to completion and 
length of tube remaining is also displayed. 

 
4.  Riser Pipe Extensions.  Extensions for elevating the sprinkler on the sprinkler cart 

are available.  They are available in one and two foot lengths. 

 
5.  Filter Cone.  Filter cones should be used on all turbine driven Water-Reels used for 

slurry and irrigation operations where foreign objects such as rocks are known to be 
present.  The stainless steel cone inserts into the supply hose at the inlet of the 
machine.  Available in three or four inch diameters (must match inlet size). 

 
6.  Hydraulic Stabilizer Legs/Sprinkler Cart Lift. Hydraulic stabilizer leg and sprinkler 

cart lifts are available on all the new AG-Series models. 

 
7.  Hydraulic Turntable/Tongue Jack.  Hydraulic turntable and jack are available as an 

option for T/E30 and T/E33 this feature is standard on 37T/E and 40T/E models. 

 
8.  Crossover Pipes.  If your application must feed the water from the opposite side of 

the machine, Kifco sells crossover pipes for all the new AG-Series models. 

 
9.  Booster Pump.  The 30A980 and 33A1120 have 18hp booster pumps available if 

your application demands higher pressure at the sprinkler.  See your dealer for 
information. 

 
10. Engine Drives. All the new AG-Series have engine drive kits available.  These kits 

can be factory installed or ordered later to retrofit your machine. 

 
11. Sprinkler Options.  Kifco offers several choices in large sprinklers for their Water-

Reels.
