For that ammount of ground, a pivot will most likely be difficult and expensive to set up. If you are really serious about a pivot, look google up on the web and see if you can find some prices on used pivots. They are not cheap!

If it were me, I"d use handlines. 3 inch handlines are relatively cheap (~$25 for a used 40 ft stick and you might even be able to use 2 inch lines that are ~t $15 a stick)and is a breeze to handle.( I have 3 inch and 4 inch and the 4 inch is really tough for a long in the tooth guy like me to handle but I manage to do it on pride!). You"ll a need a pump that can supply about 7.5 gpm PER SPRINKLER HEAD at 40 psi at the head. You"ll require minimum of a 4 inch mainline from the pump to the field with valves at 60 ft intervals and this will cost you ~$50 per 30 ft stick. You"ll need valave openers that match your mainline risers AND handlines. A pipe trailer to store it on is also nice but for the small ammount of pipe you can build a rack to store it on near the field.

Opinions are like belly button-everybody"s got one.These are my opinions, for what they are worth.
