Hunter Industries released its new I-80 commercial rotor.
Designed for sports turf and large park applications, the I-80 is built with a dirt-tolerant gear drive that offers a high torque output and a radius range up to 97 feet, according to Hunter Industries.
“The I-80 continues Hunter’s legacy of developing products on the forefront of irrigation technology,” said Rich Dunn, product marketing manager. “There is nothing else like it available for commercial spaces.”
The no-dig device features efficient dual-trajectory, wind-fighting nozzles and provides total top serviceability via its integrated, surface-mounted snap ring.
The I-80 also offers an advanced ProTech Turf Cup system. With ProTech TC, living or synthetic turf is retained in a cup mounted to the top of the rotor and installed flush to the surrounding turf. The retaining rings in the turf cup add surface area for increased root adhesion, which helps keep turf securely in place.
The no-dig ProTech TC is also top serviceable and features no-tool, quick-release removal of the turf cup, arc adjustments without riser removal and a fully contained riser assembly that stays together when removed from the sprinkler’s body.
An optional rubber cover kit is available for the I-80, and a riser-mounted version is available for turf or dust control in pastures, corrals and sand arenas.
