OCMIS hose reel dealer · Murray, KY
Hose Reel Irrigation
Water the fields a pivot can't reach. OCMIS reels sized to your field and pump, delivered and set up, and backed by our own service crew.
When a hose reel makes sense
A hose reel (hard hose traveler) pulls a big gun across the field on polyethylene hose, then winds itself back in on water power. No towers, no pivot point, no permanent install.
Odd-shaped fields
Long, narrow, triangle and creek-bottom fields a pivot can't cover.
Leased or rented ground
No permanent install. When the lease ends, the reel goes with you.
Several farms, one machine
Tow it field to field and farm to farm through the season.
Pivot corners and add-ons
Pick up the corners and edges your pivot misses.

Hose reel questions
How many acres can a hose reel water per pull?
Acres per pull ≈ lane width × (hose length + wetted radius) ÷ 43,560. A 250 ft lane with 1,000 ft of hose covers about 6.7 acres. Small OCMIS R1 reels cover roughly 3–6 acres per pull, mid-size reels 6–10, and the big Vario Rain reels 15 or more. Our calculator does the math for your field.
How much pressure does a hose reel need?
The pump has to cover gun pressure, friction in the hose and the turbine drive. OCMIS publishes inlet pressures from about 65 PSI on a small R1 up to 150–170 PSI on long, high-flow setups, for gun pressures of 45–87 PSI. Longer and smaller hose needs more pressure for the same flow.
How many GPM does a hose reel need?
OCMIS performance tables run from about 75 GPM on the R1 to about 585 GPM on the VR7. Match the reel and gun to what your well or pond pump can actually deliver at pressure. Send us your pump details and we'll size it.
Hose reel or center pivot: which is better?
Pivots win on labor and cost per acre on big, square, owned ground. Reels win on odd shapes, small or leased fields, and ground a pivot can't reach, and one reel can move between farms. We sell and service both, so we'll tell you which fits.
Where do you deliver hose reels?
We deliver and set up reels across Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Arkansas and Mississippi from our shop in Murray, KY. Parts ship anywhere in the U.S.
Do you work on Bauer, Kifco, Cadman and other reels?
Yes. We sell OCMIS, but we source parts for, and service, most hose reel brands, including Bauer, Kifco, Cadman, RM and Irrifrance. Send us the model and serial number.
