AcreMaster
Micro Pivot
Unequalled when it comes to effective and reliable crop irrigation
Pierce’s engineers have developed a linear irrigator employing uniform components. By standardising the machine’s parts, Pierce has simplified assembly and service, creating a more efficient system.
Combine this with the most advanced manufacturing methods, parts and electronics, and the result is the Field Master Linear — unequalled when it comes to effective and reliable crop irrigation, season after season.
With water delivery from the centre or in an end-feed configuration, 2 or 4 wheel carts, two pipe diameters, multiple coating options and above-ground or buried guidance options, your Pierce Linear can be customised to adapt to your needs.
Swing Around Capability
Four-wheel Swing Around Linear
Pierce recognised a need to efficiently swing a 4-wheel cart and put their engineers to work. The hard work yielded the unique Pierce Swing-Around Linear. Released in 2002, this novel machine has already proven itself around the world.
Modular Construction Options
Ditch Suction System
As an alternative to conventional water delivery for large acreage parcels, our Ditch Suction System can be custom-designed to meet a variety of applications.
Modular Components
The engine, pump, and generator are modular and frame-mounted. Machines can be configured for end or centre feed. All Pierce Ditch Suction Systems feature independent walking beam suspension.
Power Train
In addition to a wide selection of HP, GPM and fuel capacity choices, self-priming and self-cleaning options are also available.
Span and Tower Construction
Four Wheel Tough
The Pierce Four-Wheel Cart is built to pull. With the largest drive tube available in the industry and its live axle suspension, this cart has pulling power! It is capable of handling up to an eight-inch hose for your high flow requirements. Don’t need the ultimate pulling machine? The two-wheel cart has towable and swing options at an affordable cost.
Roll-resistant Tower
Tubular compression and diagonal force braces, a suspended span-to-tower attachment, and a lower centre of gravity provide greater tower strength and roll-resistance.
Truss Gusset
Galvanised truss gussets at the truss support apex evenly distribute torque forces, enhancing strength and stability.
Truss Joiner Bracket
New truss joiner bracket design provides superior clamping force and features radiused truss rod heads on all transition points, reducing stress concentrations.
Tower Connection
Welded ball joints and tapered weldments provide stress-free flex for smooth running on rough terrain. Since the joint is entirely outside the pipe, there is no obstruction to water flow.
Drive Train Assembly
Designed to meet today’s longer span lengths. Each component is engineered to deliver the torque requirements demanded by your soil and tire combinations.
Final Drive Features
Peak torque rated at 75,000 in/lbs
Dual input, hot-forged steel worm gear
2-1/4" output shaft
Dual input and output seals
Large input bearings and reinforced housing
Stainless steel bellows-type expansion chamber
Centre Drive
Hardened helical gear and all-aluminium gear case and motor housing provide years of reliable service. Also included:
Available ratios 50:1, 40:1, 30:1 and 20:1
Irrigation duty with 95% efficiency
Class F insulation
Driveline Coupler
Heat-treated aluminium construction, self-aligning design and UV/chemical resistant urethane inserts
Coatings
Hot-Dipped Galvanised
To meet the varying demands of crops, terrain, and water quality, our new CircleMaster CP-600™ can be configured with various span and overhang combinations, as an all-galvanised system, or a galvanised structure with POLY-LINE™ pipe components.
Poly-Line™
Our poly-lined pipe is designed as an alternative to our standard hot-dipped galvanised pipe. POLY-LINE™ combines a tough, galvanised exterior with a durable polyethylene liner to eliminate problems caused by acidic, corrosive or saline water.
Control Panel
Pierce Linear control panels are industrial quality, NEMA 4X stainless steel enclosures, programmable logic controller-based with electromechanical or LCD operator interfaces. Pierce incorporates only the highest quality electrical components and most advanced technology for the reliability you require.
High Flotation Ag Tyres
Multiple tyre options are available to match your span requirements and soil conditions. Available in 11.2 x 24, 14.9 x 24, 16.9 x 24, 11.2 x 38
Sprinkler Options
Application of water to best fit your crop needs is critical. That’s why Pierce offers the latest in sprinkler packages and end-gun options. Products from Nelson®, Senninger®, and Komet® are custom-configured to your needs and specifications.
Tower Box
The tower box is constructed of heavy-walled UV-stabilised ABS with a 304 stainless steel base. Features include a non-corrosive cam assembly, adjustable micro switch bases, and an extra-large box for ease of wiring and troubleshooting.
Guidance Systems
All Pierce guidance systems feature proven solid-state components for dependability. With buried wire guidance, the adjustable rate, variable speed steering system puts you in control, allowing multiple turn rates and wire offset options, while the simplicity of furrow and cable guidance systems makes adjustment logical.
Pierce Farm Network Solutions
Pierce have recently released this new technology for farmers to enable running multiple machines from your device, laptop or phone and save you time on travelling from farm to farm.
