Hose Roll Out

Hose Roll Out

The hose roll out is a three point unit and takes the larger spools of drip hose. Simply back up the tractor, pick up the hose from the center pivot, and lift. The operation is simple: Workers on ATVs will grab the end of the hose from the tractor parked at the end of a row, and pull down the row. Once he is down the row completely and on his way back, the spool operator cuts the hose and forwards the tractor. Many acres per day can be done in this way. The one huge advantage of this unit over the traditional “drive down the row” units is that when there is a tangle or problem, the hose pulls on the ATV operator and he knows to stop immediately and correct. With the drive down the row units, you can have a problem and not know it until it stretches the hose way out of form.
