Abstract
A vehicle for placing irrigation pipe, and a method for placing irrigation pipe, is described. The vehicle has a tricycle configuration, with in-line a front steerable drive wheel, a rear drive wheel and a pipe clamp, and an adjustable side idler wheel that provides stability. As the vehicle moves though a field, pulling ever increasing length of pipe, the force provided by the drive wheels increases in proportion.
