Description

Brown Products B590H-DI / B595K-DI Bantam Drip Irrigation Installer

The Brown Products B590H-DI and B595K-DI Drip Irrigation Installer is a purpose-built machine for professional irrigation contractors and landscape crews who install drip irrigation tubing. Built on the proven BedEdger Bantam frame, this machine digs the installation trench, guides the drip irrigation tubing to the precise depth, and covers the trench in a single, continuous pass. The result is faster, more consistent drip tubing installation with significantly less hand labor than conventional trench-dig-and-tuck methods.

Single-Pass Drip Irrigation Installation

The B590H-DI and B595K-DI were specifically engineered to address the growing demand for underground drip irrigation installation in commercial landscape and agricultural settings. Drip tubing installed at 3.5 to 5 inches of depth is protected from mechanical damage and UV degradation, and the tidy single-pass installation process eliminates the time and cost of backfilling and tamping by hand. The rubber hood channels excavated soil cleanly over the installed tubing, leaving a minimal surface trace that blends naturally into the surrounding turf or bed area.

Versatility on the Bantam Platform

Built on the BedEdger Bantam frame, the B590H-DI and B595K-DI share their core mechanical structure with other machines in the Bantam line. This platform commonality means that operators already familiar with BedEdger Bantam or Bantam Mole machines will adapt to the Drip Irrigation Installer quickly. The interchangeable rotor system also allows operators to use the machine for standard bed edging and trenching operations when the drip installation attachment is not in use.

Manufacturing

Designed and manufactured in Midland City, Alabama, the B590H-DI and B595K-DI ship pre-assembled via motor freight and are ready for immediate field deployment. Brown Products backs both variants with a 1-year limited warranty covering commercial and rental use.

Advantages Over Manual Drip Tubing Installation

Manual underground drip tubing installation involves trenching, feeding tubing into the trench, and backfilling – three separate operations that require either multiple workers or time-consuming back-and-forth passes by a single operator. The B590H-DI and B595K-DI consolidate all three steps into a single machine pass at up to 30 feet per minute, dramatically reducing installation time per linear foot of drip line. The consistent depth control also improves installation quality compared to hand methods, ensuring that tubing is buried at the same depth throughout the system for uniform performance. Both models are manufactured in Alabama and ship pre-assembled via motor freight with a 1-year limited warranty.

Both the B590H-DI and B595K-DI ship pre-assembled from the Brown Products factory in Midland City, Alabama. They are covered by a 1-year limited warranty for commercial and rental use and are supported by a nationwide Brown Products dealer network for replacement rotors, belts, and service components.
