Almost 27 thousand views. Wow. When I was a kid I was fascinated with the Rain Bird impulse spinklers. We didn’t have them in our yard but my nieghbors did and when they were on I would run outside and watch.

Comparing to the drip irrigation, which one can save more water?

Yeh Komet guns are way better than a nelson, much better water dispersion and work on lower pressure, we run 202′s back home with the vari-angle. Even though they got plastic, their less maitnence than the Nelson

Nope, that’s a Komet Twin-140 Plus, but very similar to a Nelson Big Gun. These are a lot lighter (and cheaper) than Nelsons, since they are made of mostly plastic and aluminum. Most of the Nelson guns are made of a combination of cast aluminum and cast iron, which is why they’re more expensive. And yes, that arm that keeps coming in contact with the water stream is the part that drives it.

I know a guy that has one of those and one time was adjusting it and accidentally tripped it. It came around and nailed him in the jaw. Didn’t break it but he sure didn’t look good.
