Method and means for preventing a self-propelled irrigation system from overturning

US-7303157-B1

Abstract

A selectively fillable ballast water tank is secured to the main frame of the drive units of a self-propelled irrigation machine. The water tank is selectively filled with water from the water pipeline when the system is going to remain stationary for a period of time, thereby reducing the risk that the drive unit will overturn when experiencing a high wind situation. The ballast water tanks are drained when the system is going to be used to irrigate.
