2 What s Important to You is What s Important to Us Today s agricultural environment brings with it risky factors for farmers, many that are out of one s control. Market fluctuations, environmental issues relating to land and water rights management, the rising input costs and, of course, don t forget Mother Nature. Valley continues to lead the industry as we have for over 50 years with the most effective and efficient methods of irrigation developed to fit and drive an ever-changing marketplace. What s important to us is what s important to you. It s what you expect out of your irrigation equipment equipment that withstands daily operational stress, has the ability to navigate diverse field conditions, offers precise water application, has construction that eliminates downtime, and comes with highly trained dealers to protect your investment. With the Valley promise of reliable mechanized components; durable, resilient structures; precise water application; easy-to-use controls; responsive dealer service; and products to fit your needs it s what you can expect, because it s what we expect.

3 Unmatched Durability and Dependability The Valley Center Pivot provides choices for growers through our strong structures built to withstand the toughest loads produced by rough terrain, furrows, and long span machines. The first to introduce the hot-dip galvanizing process in 1966, Valley had the foresight to offer its customers a protective coating that would soon become the industry standard. Valley Pivot Recognized as the industry leader. The Valley Pivot delivers consistent, superior performance. e a s y- t o - u s e r e s p o n s i v e Valley Spinner A great choice for producers with smaller fields. The Spinner can irrigate one to three hectares and is a solution for those with limited access to electricity. Driven by water pressure, this single span pivot can be fixed or towed from one field to another. Valley Single Span Engine Drive Like the Spinner, the Single Span Engine Drive is another option for those with limited access to electricity. With fixed or towable capabilities, and requiring a low water pressure, this gasoline-powered engine is ideal for fields of one to three hectares.
