Irrigation Engines

Nowhere is reliable power more critical than on the farm. For plowing, planting, spraying, or harvesting, time windows can be narrow. And in irrigation, a failed engine can mean a failed or damaged crop. Caterpillar engines have a long history of reliable performance in agricultural production, and they're the choice of leading manufacturers of irrigation systems.

Caterpillar engines sold and serviced by Yancey Ag Products are built to work through busy seasons without a hitch, and without cutting into profits per acre. Durable Cat engines are the standard in irrigation equipment. Farming is becoming a high-tech business. For example, progressive growers use satellite technology to tailor fertilizer applications to specific fields. As technology moves forward, producers expect more sophistication in their equipment. Cat electronic engines fit right in. On-site electric power systems help give the world's farmers a bit of certainty in a largely unpredictable business.

Cat power systems, sized from 8 kW and up, fit everything from small family farms to large corporate operations. Gas, diesel and propane engine-driven generators ensure reliable power for any long term or intermittent need.

On-site generators sustain power for a host of critical needs: irrigation pumping, milking parlors and milk coolers, poultry and livestock barn heating and ventilation, crop storage barn heating and cooling, and much more.

Mobile rental generator sets provide on-site power for short-term seasonal needs, such as drying, conveying and processing of crops at harvest. Rental units also provide emergency power during extended utility outages.

Corporate farms with large-scale standby systems can enroll them in utility peak sharing programs. The farmer operates the equipment during times of peak utility power demand, when directed by the utility. In return, the utility grants demand-charge credits or special interruptible or curtailable power rates.
