New Rainstar A4 professional irrigator from Bauer at LAMMA
)
A new Rainmaster clean water reel irrigator neatly enters the Bauer range between the current compact A series and larger T series.
Catering for use in smaller fields across all agricultural and horticultural cropping and livestock enterprises, the Rainstar A4 is available with Bauer’s own polyethylene (PE) hose in diameters up to 75mm and in lengths up to 250m.
Flow rates of between 12 and 48cu m per hour help users fine-tune their irrigation schedules, and Bauer’s wide-angle SR101 sprinkler delivers uniform water distribution across runs up to 70m wide, with boom systems available as an alternative to provide gentle irrigation of delicate crops.
Like other mobile irrigators in the range, the A4 is built with galvanized steel components and high-performance PE hose manufactured by Bauer at its headquarters factory in Austria, where strict quality-control protocols ensure consistently high standards.
The new A4 joins a comprehensive line-up of Rainstar reel irrigators with a distinguished reputation for reliability, durability, accuracy, performance and ease of use – the last two of those enhanced by the SmartRain app for mobile devices.
This provides alerts, reports and control functions for remote irrigator management, and easy access to an online documentation and reporting platform.
The SmartRain package enables users of Bauer Rainstar reel and Centerstar pivot irrigators – as well as Bauer diesel irrigation pumps – to keep track of just one or several irrigation systems via an office computer, an Apple or Android mobile phone, or a tablet computer.
The new A4 will be shown at LAMMA alongside a latest-generation Rainstar E300 110/490.
