Sports Fields & Greens Irrigation
Keeping a beautiful green playing field for sports like soccer, football, and baseball is important and requires lots of work. Whether you are irrigating a 300 ft. lacrosse field or a entire multi-field complex, our irrigation travellers are the perfect tool for the job. With many models, sizes and lengths to choose from, you can pick the best reel for your application, which, in some cases, will allow you to irrigate the whole field in one unattended pass. Kifco also offers solutions for maintaining synthetic turf.
The Kifco Water-Reel system can cut the work (and cost!) of irrigating your sports field in half. Our B-Series Water-Reels have the capability to irrigate a wide variety of fields sizes, often in a single unattended pass, they cost less than in-ground systems, and they require less maintenance.
