T-L's hydrostatic drive offers many features not available on electric pivots. Unlike the stop and go action of electric models, each tower on a T-L pivot system moves continuously. This is especially beneficial on low-pressure systems where uniform water application is critical for irrigation-applied fertilizer, herbicides and pesticides. Chances of a TL pivot tower getting stuck are reduced because of the improved traction that continuous movement provides on wet, rough terrain. A constant speed, smooth rate of travel also reduces wear on all drive components, while eliminating the wasteful power surge required to get a stopped tower moving again. There is no wasted horsepower with a T-L because the power required to run the pump varies directly with the rotation time of the pivot.
