Do I need a pressure tank for my sprinkler system?

I have a Sears Best 40/60 Hydro Glass pump running sprinkler system out of shallow shallow well for about a 4000 square foot yard. It has a pressure switch that keeps it under 70 psi. The more sprinkler heads in a zone the lower the pressure guage goes. 3 heads on drop the pressure down to 30 psi. Is this normal or would a pressure tank solve this? Im unsure of the exact purposes of a tank?
The well is not that shallow it is about 28 feet, which I think is about right.
