751 Upgrade



New this year from Rain Bird is the 751 Eagle series rotor. This is both a full and part circle in the same rotor. Our irrigation system was designed without back-up heads on our greens. Because of this, it is difficult if not impossible to dry down our greens for tournament purposes without severely affecting the playability of the green surrounds. If we need to replace a head on the course, we use the Eagle series. These can be ordered with the 751 drive, which we can then replace the 700 full circle that are currently installed around our greens. Now when we want ot dry down the greens, we will still be able to water the surrounds.
