Valley Drivetrain: Where movement begins

The Valley X-Tec® drive is the industry’s first high-speed pivot motor, designed to unlock new levels of performance for your center pivot system. Operating at up to twice the speed of a standard high-speed AC center drive motor, X-Tec allows growers to accomplish tasks that previously weren’t possible with traditional pivot drives. Engineered to meet the demands of modern agriculture, the X-Tec system enables uniform application of water, fertilizer, and crop protectants directly through the pivot — helping you optimize both machine performance and input efficiency.

Speed transforms what your pivot can do. With 2x to 10x faster passes, X-Tec makes frequent, light water applications possible — ideal during germination to maintain surface moisture and for creating a cooling canopy over high-value crops during heat stress. Electric braking technology keeps the machine positioned exactly where you want it, while constant-move operation reduces wear and increases uptime.

X-Tec also simplifies crop protection and fertility programs by allowing chemigation and fertigation directly through the pivot. This reduces ground and aerial trips, lowers labor costs, minimizes cross-contamination risk, and helps prevent erosion and early-stage crop damage. The result is better moisture management, improved crop uniformity, and smarter water use across every acre

X-Tec is built for growers who want more efficiency, flexibility, and control. Whether you’re managing commodity crops or high-value specialty acres, the ability to move quickly, apply precisely, and avoid over-watering gives you a clear operational advantage. Faster application speeds reduce labor, equipment rentals, and maintenance costs while making split-crop irrigation easier and more effective.

Investing in X-Tec means doing more with every pass — optimizing your machine, protecting your soil, conserving water, and maximizing the return on every input.
