About Vaughan Irrigators USA

Vaughan Irrigators has been manufacturing low pressure travelling irrigators in Australia since 1992, and in that time, they have established themselves as the leader in the market. The Vaughan Irrigator has proven itself, over time, to be extremely easy to use, very reliable and trouble free. One of the many advantages of these irrigators is that you don’t need expensive high-pressure pumps and pipes. You can operate the irrigator using a simple firefighting pump, which means the whole system becomes extremely portable if desired. Its versatility and the simplicity makes the Vaughan irrigator very desirable to the land owner interested in putting large volumes of water over areas that previously weren’t being irrigated. Areas that were nonproductive are now producing for farmers with a Vaughan Irrigator. 

Australia, like the US, experiences extended droughts that can be devastating to agriculture. Many farmers have realized the value of the irrigators during these difficult times. Better crop results have been achieved because spray irrigation is better for their crops, and they can save approximately 70% of the water they previously used in flooding. Not to mention the cost savings, as they were able to replace Hand lines, Wheel Lines and the labor cost used to move them. The Vaughan Irrigator replaces these labor-intensive irrigation methods. 

In 2016 Vaughan Irrigators USA was born in Henderson Nevada.  Vaughan Irrigators Australia founder, Kelvin Weston Green, spent many months in Henderson, NV with Paul McFarland sharing his extensive irrigation expertise.  Together they went to work sourcing materials and fabricators to start building and producing this unique agricultural product.  After building and selling the first couple irrigators, Paul learned from the farmers who purchased his first irrigators how great they worked and how grateful they were to have an irrigator for their 10-to-40-acre parcels, which they had been struggling to irrigate.  This feedback was very motivating and, as word spread, so did the interest and business.  Paul and his family are now manufacturing hundreds of irrigators each year from their Henderson shop.  We are grateful for the support from our friends in the agriculture community and vow to continue to provide a top-quality irrigator that is simple to use, easy to understand, and very affordable.
