Nice Nelson model, and it moves very well at a steady pace. It kind of has this soft sound, almost like being relaxed. I could never run run one of these on my system, but I would be proud to have one. Thank you for sharing it.
Nice F70 Walla Walla version. When I got mine along with my F44 I believe both were off a pivot. I was able to run mine with a 1/4" drive and 7/32" spreader decently off 3 hose sources. But off my pump it really came to life. Thanks for sharing. Got some good range !
I'm not sure if there is a supplier in the Philippines, but here are a couple sites that have these. These can be found at www.sprinklerwarehouse.com/aqualine-part-circle-adjustable-brass-impact-rotor-with-dual-nozzles-i100a-014#additional The same style branded by Buckner Superior. www.getsuperior.com/products/360sax/
Would you say you get 360 degrees of mist around those mist nozzles? I've got a very small mist system I'm trialing and can't seem to get 360 coverage, just trying to figure out where I'm going wrong
Yes these get 360 degree coverage, sometimes they can get some uneven coverage from deposits or algae and need to be cleaned. I'm not sure why yours are not achieving a full circle, I wonder if there's imperfections in the pin head surface and doesn't disperse the mist evenly.
Dear Daran, we don't need to talk about your pump and your fabulous test site. Enviable! Thank you for always converting what is actually happening for us Europeans.
That’s a nice RB 80 that runs extremely well on your set up! It really puts out a great looking amount of water with wonderful distance and coverage! Just curious if you know the nozzle sizes? Thanks for sharing!
Nice RB 80. It seem the original heads with only fulcrum pin and driving off the nozzle shank the 70 too turns slow, it must not transmit the driving force as well as the later heads with the two post upper body, it may have to do with not enough gap between the stream and the nozzle shank, which limits the force from the arm when it cuts into the stream of water and forced close before water flowing to the spoon drives it into another cycle. I have a few of these but have never ran one of them..... we use the 80B/C site a bit but haven't set one of these up. I believe this was called the 80"special" with the Range Tube for a bit increased diameter and added coverage. Thanks for sharing! I see your trees are growing nicely!
Thanks Kerry! Yes these original heads do turn a lot slower, I wonder if they had a slightly larger drive nozzle bore if it would kick the arm out a little farther for some extra driving force. The trees are growing well!
Nice #80. It has some nice distance and coverage. Runs well off your setup. I have one but I think the drive nozzle is a 7/32". Mine also is a slow turner too. Where did you find this one?
@@photocontrol The dealer has buckets of them there. Tons of them. On risers. Must've used at a smaller field, maybe turf or golf course. Still would like to find a 808, theres some on ebay but they have stripped threads for drive nozzle. Not interested unless they go for cheap, I'd have to re-tap it. I'd probably take it to a shop and have them do it. those 808's are massive. Almost as big as a end gun!
@@NelsonBigGunP200Fan The 808 doesn't come up too often. That's too bad the ones you found have stripped threads, it should be fairly easy to re-tap. Yes they are a big impact.
Like is given..! I love the sound of impact sprinklers. Once I had to translate a Joni Mitchell song for a non garden person that did not understand the phrase:" the hissing of summer lawns.
Thanks. That was certainly straightforward and helpful. What AWG wire did you use, by the way? No crimping tool or spare wire or connectors on my bench, so before I spend money on all that, I think I'll go with an original bulb!
Poppy to see you on your own and I can get her to see you will try to find a new phone to see what you want for a good time to do you a good way of doing the same as it 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I wonder if this impact is made by Sime... The design looks similar. A smaller version of my Senior. And your pump kicks that arm back like mine do. The thing i noticed about these impact guns is the pronounced "click" of the trip mechanism when the sprinkler reaches the end of it's arc. Mine especially is VERY loud. And even over the pumps you can hear it in the video. The spring they use to trip the sprinkler for reverse must be pretty strong. Both of the videos of the Sime senior guns I have on my channel you can very well hear the "click" when tripped. I think mine had not much use, it has marks and stuff on it but still in great shape. I hope to one day get its bigger bro the "Synkro" Its a wedge drive with a stream diffuser system that moves a wire clip into the stream every so often during forward and reverse. Also since its a wedge drive it reverses slowly like a SR gun.
It's possible, or they had these produced in China. They do have a pronounced click in the trip mechanism. I'll have to keep an eye out for Sime sprinklers.
All you need now is a hose reel! And you can set a sprinkler in the field and have the reel pull it towards it and shut off when it's done. I would love to get one for myself but i have no where to put it. Those reels are massive!
@@photocontrol maybe you can find one cheap with a P200 or 205G mounted on it! That'd be a nice addition to your collection. But I wonder if your setup would run it. Maybe if you used a custom washer as a nozzle like I did!
I like the design of the walla walla impacts. The boxy look of the drive arm and spoon. Also this is a very quick returner! It runs well! Thank you for sharing. Where'd you find it ?
I knew something went on inside the greenhouses - but I had no idea! Like John says below, they are popular in Florida... I find them to be very interesting... another LIKE for your video!
