Pete talked me into buying one of these giant sled sprinklers a couple of years ago. I got the wobbler, and I absolutely love it. Easily worth the money. ty.
I have the Big Sprinkler Wobbler Sled. I bought it after one of your older videos about the Big Sprinkler sleds. Best investment when it comes to watering my yard.
Would love to see a video all about your natural adjuvant! (I know you mentioned it in plenty of videos, but I couldn't find one specifically about it) Love your stuff man! Thanks for everything you do!
City pressure for water also is determined by time of day. People are at work in the middle of the day, so your pressure may be high. However in the early morning or evening, folks are at home. That means pressure can be much lower as everyone is home using water from the main. Keep that in mind too! Glad to know there is a fellow panhead out there like me (skillet shirt)! Love them brother! Great video as always Pete. Still lifting up Jax in prayer. Love you man. Be safe!
I think they recommend 3/4" hose for optimal performance. You said you have the Eley hose, I think that is 5/8. I would prefer to use a 5/8 as I have an extra one. Your videos are helpful in picking one of these sprinkler...I think the green rotor unit.
I ordered a Jumbo Sled and pressure pump to fit my rural well water system and I’m very happy with it. We’ve been in a moderate drought up here in the northern Midwest and it brought my turf back into shape in just a couple weeks. Thanks much for your videos. I won’t miss any of your updates. Best to you and your family, Pete.
Pete, your city water supply likely has a pressure reducing valve right near your water meter (usually). They commonly fail. Yours may even be turned down a bit. A good sign is when you first open a faucet you'll have pressure that drops in a few seconds time. Just something to look into.
I have two outside garden hoses I use to water my lawn manually. I can run each hose with one impact sprinkler and they both spray out about 30 feet with excellent flow. I have a well. Using a 3/4 inch hose rather than the standard 5/8 also increased the flow a lot.
I also drag hoses around for watering my lawn. I quite using 5/8" hose and went to 3/4". Not sure if it makes a difference as I think the city water meter necks down then back up after the meter. I may or may not have a trick up my sleeve as there is a funny looking 90 before the meter. Funny looking because the top of the 90 has a bleeder port coming out the top that is the same size thread as the rest of the 90 with a plug in it for when you don't want to use the bleeder port. The biggest improvement for me so far is the booster pump. Insane how much that has helped cover a lot more ground.
@@JF2it I'm lucky to be on a well with good flow and pressure. My front lawn has inground irrigation with 4 hunter I20 heads on each zone (13 zones). My back yard I'm running 4 rainbird 5000 rotors per zone on a 4 zone melnor controller as an above ground sprinkler setup, it's working well for me. I just have to move a couple of them out of the way to mow but the layout of my backyard allows me to put most of them around the edges spraying into the lawn
😂 speaking of hard ground. When we moved into our new construction house a year ago. I was having to use a piece of rebar and a mini sledgehammer to poke holes for the sprinkler spikes. They’d snap every time if I didn’t.
This is great! Thanks for sharing the difference and your thoughts. I look forward to seeing the other sprinklers and like you said make a decision then.
My wife and I call the test plot system a well, not a whale! ;) just kidding! Love the accent! Us midwesterners don’t have cool accents! Love the tool idea! Can you do more of the common stuff too!
I run the quick coupler as well but it reduces the id just a little bit net if you took it off would make it a little better but probably not worth the extra time love your videos and love the gospel you spread keep up the amazing work informing us on both yard care and the gospel
I had terrible water flow at my house. Pressure was good but flow Was not. It took 2:20 to fill a 5 gallon bucket while my neighbors house took 1:13 to fill the bucket. Found out there was a steel ball probably from an old ball valve that broke loose and restricted the flow. I had my plumber and the towns water department trying to troubleshoot this. I now have great flow and can water the lawn and have the kids play in the sprinkler. And my shower experience is much better too
@@GCITurf thank you! My brothers and I already have a lawn mowing business. we have 10 yards this year. But I’m looking into starting a lawn renovating business. Anyway I wanted your advice because you seem like a pretty knowledgeable guy.👍🏻 thank you!
Hey Pete I hope you’re doing well! I just recently found a love for mowing lawns and making them look pretty. That sounds funny to say but I really do and I know you understand! But I am considering trying to start up a lawn care company and I know this may be sort of personal, but I was just wondering how do you make your money during fall and winter? That’s the only thing I’m not really sure of because grass doesn’t need mowing hardly at all especially during winter time!
My front yard has alot of trees. The bottom branches are about 5ft off the ground. What would be the best sprinkler for that situation. Are is about 60 x 40 feet.
Do you know what your psi is, out of your city spigot? I get just short of 6 gallons per minute, and 60 psi. I'm so confused about knowing if I can pull off something like this.
OOOOHHHH....... Pete, should be using an Eley quick connect. They have very large openings so less restriction. Its kinda freaky how much larger they are that a normal quick connect like you have and that I have a lot of as well. I have converted all my quick connects to Eley now. Not cheap. But they are nice. (I know it probably doesnt make much of a difference. I'm mostly just messin with ya. But they are awesome. and PS, I ended up ordering over $700 from Eley after your video using your link. Lots of quick connects, long hose, the 4 wheel cart) Also, what was your pressure at the hose end? I think I saw a pressure gauge on the hose at the sprinkler. I am in florida and on city water. I can fill a 5 gallon bucket in under 50 seconds so close to 5.5 or so a minute. My pressure is just below 70psi in my house. Nothing like your well of course.
My guess is where almost every online business in America had a July 4 sale it probably overwhelmed the carriers. That’s probably why it was running behind. Typically our shipping is 2-3 days. My apologies sir.
