Since founding T-L Irrigation Company 60 years ago in Hastings, Neb., LeRoy W. Thom has consistently guided the company under the philosophy that “We’re farmers,” emphasizing that T-L’s manufacturing and marketing decisions are deeply influenced by how a grower would view T-L’s exclusive hydrostatically powered irrigation systems to produce income.

T-L Irrigation Company is the only pivot irrigation system manufacturer to use hydrostatic drive rather than electric power.

Although unique to the industry, the hydrostatic design made sense. All growers are familiar with hydraulics since it’s used in every machine they operate. The simplicity of design allows growers to enjoy exceptional reliability and low maintenance. T-L’s irrigation systems also move continuously, delivering even water distribution, which conserves water and enhances crop production. Additionally, there are the benefits of safety due to the absence of high voltage electricity, drastically reduced chances of copper theft, and the elimination of high repair costs and parts replacement.

Today, T-L center pivots, linear irrigation systems and GPS corner systems are represented by more than 300 dealers in over 70 countries worldwide.
