When Gordonton dairy farmer Wayne Reynolds began planning improvements to his effluent system, his goal was clear: reduce the need for expensive effluent storage without compromising on compliance or paddock performance.
By choosing the GB Magnum Travelling irrigator, Wayne was able to eliminate the need for an additional 1,100m³ of effluent storage, and saving around $42,000 in construction costs. A major benefit of the GB Magnum is its ability to apply effluent at a shallow 3mm depth. This low application rate opens up significantly more days in the season where conditions are suitable for irrigation. With the ability to apply little and often, Wayne can keep up with effluent output without overwhelming his storage or risking ponding on paddocks. This "little and often" approach also improves nutrient uptake and supports better pasture health making the most of every drop. Wayne describes the GB Magnum as a practical, reliable, and long-lasting piece of equipment. Its robust design ensures it performs consistently through the seasons, regardless of the challenges that come with managing effluent on a busy dairy farm. The irrigator’s low-maintenance design and straightforward operation mean Wayne and his team can focus on the farm not fixing equipment.
For Wayne Reynolds, investing in a GB Magnum wasn’t just about getting an irrigator, it was about making a smart, future-proof decision for his effluent system. The result? Lower costs, greater flexibility, and a reliable tool that supports better farming.
The GB Magnum travelling irrigator could be the solution you’re looking for. Efficient, compliant, and cost effective.

"The lower application depths offered by the Williams GB Magnum, has enabled us to significantly increase the number of irrigation days possible throughout the year by reducing the trigger soil moisture deficit required for an irrigation event. The single factor reduced our required storage capacity by 1,100m3 saving us approximately $42,000 in pond construction costs."
