The invention is a device for installation in a conventional center-pivot irrigation system commonly found in agriculture which prevents ruts caused by the movement of the wheels in the drive mechanism of the irrigation system by re-directing the flow of water from the front of the drive mechanism of the irrigation system to the rear of the system thus enabling the wheels of the drive mechanism to travel of dry soil instead of freshly irrigated soil in the field. The invention consists of water pipe, quick connect attachments, a reciprocating sprinkler head, support struts and connecting ports for the drop lines supplied by the center-pivot irrigation system nearest the drive mechanism of the irrigation system.
