Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose a T-L pivot over other brands?
T-L’s hydrostatic drive gives continuous movement instead of the stop-and-start motion of electric-drive pivots, which cuts gearbox wear and keeps water application more even across the field.
What does “no spoking” mean and why does it matter?
Spoking is the uneven watering pattern you get on pivots that start and stop in steps. Because T-L pivots move continuously, they avoid that pattern and apply water more evenly.
Are T-L pivots resistant to copper theft?
Yes. Because the drive system is hydrostatic rather than electric, it doesn’t rely on the copper wiring that makes electric-drive pivots a theft target.
What warranty comes with a T-L pivot?
T-L backs its pivots with manufacturer warranties covering the planetary gearboxes for 8 years or 24,000 hours and the worm gear drives for 8 years or 16,000 hours.
Do T-L pivots need high-voltage power to run?
No. T-L pivots run hydrostatically instead of on 480-volt electric drive systems, which also means they aren’t knocked out by lightning strikes the way electric-drive systems can be.
