mwslaught1 said: I was wondering if I could get feedback from anyone who has Hunter Irrigation at their course or facility. We have Hunter and it has been in the ground for nine years. The decision to put Hunter in was made before i arrived. From day one this system has been a complete nightmare....from cracking heads, cracking pilot valves, foot valve malfunctions, solenoid issues, controllers not responding(comm boards,facepacks,power supply boards). We have put power conditioners on our power lines that supply power to the controllers and the problems still persist. The hunter tech and my sales rep tell me im the only one with all these problems. We average around 5 to 10 problems/week with this system, sometimes it could be as much as 20 problems/week. Any thoughts or comments?
"Nightmare" is a good term for it.
We have a hunter system that is approx 10 years old.
We are experiencing every problem you describe.
With limited resources and budget here in SE KS its trial and error.
Mostly error.
We even had an experienced irrigation tech come look at it.
Even he was confused.
Everyone tells us something different, control board, solenoids, etc. But no luck.
Our biggest problem is heads not shutting off and not turning correctly, as well as leaking.
No matter what we've tried - still no luck.
Not much else to offer- except you are not the only one having these issues with a Hunter system.
