Pivot Irrigation track closer

craigco · Dec 6, 2019

Will a track closer leave a berm of dirt if it isn't filling in a ditch left by a pivot irrigation wheel? I need to make nice berms for a customer and thought a track closer might do it. Seeing some that have 3 or 4 discs that look like it keeps throwing dirt to the middle.

Yep, they will.

In my experience a track closer wouldn't leave much of a 'berm'. they are meant to move a small amount of wet dirt(mud) a short distance.The width of a tire. I don't think you would be happy with one. However,a 'bordermaker' would do a much better job. They are used on very flat hay fields to make berms/levees("borders") for flood irrigateing.They have 2;3;or even 4 large disks per side.Carried on a 3 hitch,about 5 ft wide in a 'V' configuration.The width of the mound is adjustable.They will move some dirt.

No, but after enough years, the track closer eventually just makes a 4-6 foot wide ditch.
