Putting the Kifco B140G to work
This video roughly explains how a Kifco B140G water reel works, this is the non electronic motor drive option. In the video I am irrigating a clover field during the dry spell of the year. Im not sponsored by Kifco in no way, just a firm believer in these American made products!

Video explains what cover crops I previously planted and the types of tillage equipment used.
Would it worked for irrigatiing a 10 acre hay field? field is flat and pretty square. Please advise! great video!
Thanks for making this video review, we are looking to buy one for a cemetery in Oregon, the sticker shock of $15K in 2024 monies caused us to think this through. Your video helps!
Thanks bro, I like the machine
Awesome system ! how many feet would you say that the water shoots out ? thanks for sharing
I would say 50-75 feet
Hey there! On a short run when the hose is pulled out about 175ft I can easily throw 55-60ft on 50PSI. Once the hose gets pulled out passed 200ft I loose alittle bit of range but it’s quite uniform
Nice are you not selling this system?
Hes just a normal guy reviewing it. Hes not a seller. A seller would be showing someone else's giant farm!
Also I just looked into these cause they seem to be the cheapest form of irragation for anyone with farms that arent super big! The best systems are the lateral move irragation and center axis irragation but those systems are over half a mil or more! You can get one of these for like 3k and this is more than enough for any starter farmer! Right now I'm only growing on half an acre so I can just use less than $1k in hoses and sprinklers and valves and I can manually switch the valves for each sprinkler along the system but eventually i want to buy some farm land and that's when I'll need something like what you see in the video! :)
No I purchased this unit from my local dealer two years ago. This has been a really really handy irrigation system for smaller areas that I can’t put in pivot systems or lateral lines. Like the previous person mentioned you can get the smaller units for around 3k or so, for the money I do highly recommend them. Super easy to operate and very well built. I’ve used this water reel for about 5 months straight this year with our heavy drought and it’s worked with no problems. Definitely look into it!
Are you using the k1 or silver sprinkler?
Using the K1!
Hey man. Enjoyed the video. I’m a newbie farmer and have some old overgrown pastures I want to rejuvenate so trying to learn about cover crops. Question for ya...I wanna grow crimson clover in one of my fields; after I disc up the ground and broadcast seed should I run the disc back over the field to help push some of the seed into the dirt? Or is this an unnecessary step?
Hey great question! You don’t need to disk over the ground once the seed is spread but I found my germination rates are better if I do. I’d recommend getting a roller, cultipacker or even a drag harrow to firm up and level that seed bed 1/4in is the desired depth I plant my clover.
