The stuff I'm thinking of is 4" aluminum and has a coupler for a sprinkler at each joint. It usually came in 30' or 40' sections. You could just pull it apart to drain it or put a valve at a joint now and then. One drawback might be its temptation to thieves. Good Lord. That stuff would now have antique value wouldn't it Dean? I've never heard of anyone collecting it. Nah, neither have I, but farmers tend to get attached to stuff that's been sitting in their PUS pile for years and the value increases in leaps and bounds when someone else might want it. Old tractors and farm equipment , old cars and barb wire, yes. A former co worker told me people collect the insulators used on the old overhead phone lines. :-)) I have a few of those. I also have a few old rabbit traps that I've foudn round the paddocks over time. The scrap value of used aluminum pipe might be pretty high. Many farmers in my area went to pivot irrigation so scrapped their irrigation pipe. No one much cared for hand move sprinkler line. It was just too labor intensive. My Dad had some. He also had "volunteers" to help move it. You didn't step back fast enough did you ;-)) |
