Irrigation That Follows Your Planter Paths

Traditional pivots in Filer irrigate in circles, leaving corners unwatered and applying the same amount of water to every part of the field regardless of crop need. 360 Rain uses GPS to follow your planter paths, navigates around obstacles, and applies water in a 15-inch band at the base of each plant. United Distributors installs, programs, and services 360 Rain systems for growers who need to cover odd-shaped fields, reduce water use, and deliver nutrients precisely where crops need them.

The system operates from a 3,000-foot hose connected to a field riser and can pull from wells, pipelines, or surface water. A vertical reel automatically lays out and retrieves the hose, allowing the system to cover up to 200 acres. Sensors track ground speed, reel speed, and turning radius to prevent hose drag or push. Water and nutrients are delivered through a boom fitted with drop hoses, and you can choose Y-DROP for row crops like corn and soybeans, flat-fan for solid-seeded crops like small grains and alfalfa, or custom drops for specialty crops such as potatoes or onions.

If you are looking to cut water use, irrigate fields that do not fit a pivot, or deliver fertilizer and manure through your irrigation system in Filer, contact United Distributors to talk through 360 Rain options and installation.

A 360 Rain system in Filer is programmed to follow the same pattern your planter made. Its GPS receiver communicates with a base station and uses those planter-generated paths to guide every move. Cellular connectivity links the machine to the 360 Rain mobile app for real-time monitoring and control, allowing operators to adjust speed, application rates, and timing from a phone. The app displays real-time system status, nutrient totals, water volumes, and performance metrics, along with maintenance alerts.

After installation, you will see full field coverage without the dry corners left by pivots. Water is applied in a banded pattern at the plant base, cutting evaporation loss dramatically compared to pivots and traveling guns. Flow rates average 150 to 200 gallons per minute, and the diesel-electric powertrain uses just half a gallon of fuel per hour, making long run times possible with up to 600 hours on a single tank.

Pairing 360 Rain with the 360 Injection Skid turns the system into an all-in-one delivery platform for water, fertilizer, or manure. Adjustable VFD pump controls allow you to fine-tune application rates on the fly, while multiple voltage options adapt easily to different farm setups. Water pump options include a 3 HP pond pump at 200 GPM and 20 PSI, or VFD options to manage 5 to 7.5 HP, 10 to 15 HP, or 20 to 25 HP well pumps. Manure pumps include the Razor at 2 HP and 20 to 40 GPM, and the Blade at 5 HP and 30 to 80 GPM.
