Hi Bill,
FYI, there are already some graziers in Oregon using the K-Line System. It
does seem easy to use, and yes, a 300-foot line can be moved with a
4-wheeler. Line movements definitely takes less time than hand-lines. It
also seems to provide better control over water usage. This system is still
new here, but many folks are looking at it carefully.
You mention that K-Line coming to the US. In what venue are you referring?
Best regards.
Woody
