Your pivot is down. It's hot, the crop needs water, and a service call is $500 or more once you count mileage and labor. FixMyPivot walks you through it one step at a time, the way an experienced technician would on the phone. Answer a few simple questions about what your machine is doing and it narrows down the cause. WHAT IT HELPS WITH - Machine won't start, won't move, or shut itself down - Safety and alignment shutdowns, and which tower to look at - Control panel fault and error codes - How to operate your control panel and find your way around its menus - Water that won't come on, or won't shut off - End gun problems - Pressure problems BUILT FOR ALL MAJOR BRANDS Tell it your brand and control panel and the answers match your machine. The same error code means different things on different panels, and this knows the difference. TAKE A PHOTO Not sure what panel you have, or what a display is telling you? Take a picture of it and get an answer about what you're looking at. HONEST ABOUT LIMITS This is beginner to intermediate troubleshooting. It will tell you plainly when a job needs a qualified technician rather than talking you into something you shouldn't be doing. It always says to shut off and lock out power before touching anything electrical.
