Hey Pete! Hope your son is doing great... just ordered 25 pounds of the cool blue and the cool season guide, can't wait to get started...

[@morte2195]

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.

[@rascalszx2]

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.

[@watsonrk1]

Your a hard worker Pete.. 9:20pm and still going.

[@GCITurf]

Wide Open bro!

[@BANGINGHAMMERS]

What an informative video great job !

[@CarterMatthew504]

I actually just bought the Big Sprinkler Wobbler. It’s awesome! Good for small yards. It’s worth the money. High quality, made in the USA!🇺🇸

[@WoodshavenPatriot]

Just did the same after his earlier video on these sprinkler sleds. Got the wobbler also.

[@MrFergusonLawn]

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!

[@brians09crf450x]

Why would 5 people give this video a thumbs down??? I just don’t understand! Thank you Pete for the consistently great videos.

[@righteouswillie]

Thanks Mr. Pete, this was exactly what I was looking for. Got a big yard and needed to know what to do about an above ground sprinkler

[@camchute]

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.

[@dudehenchman]

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!

A 3/4" ID hose helped a lot for me to get more gpm on my hose

[@rdcruick]

What's an ID hose?

[@Erix7810]

@@rdcruick inner diameter

[@slammed95ej1]

same here. i had to get a 3/4” hose to run the rainbird falcon 6504, or it wouldn’t even pop up with a regular 5/8” hose

[@TopTierLawnCareServices]

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.

[@GCITurf]

Very nice sir

[@JF2it]

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.

[@TopTierLawnCareServices]

@@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

[@coachdnicholson]

Dude! Killer shirt! I’ve seen them 4 times in concert 😂. Sorry, now back to the video!

[@eee2115]

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.

[@dandennis8465]

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]

LOL...nothin like a good ice cold shower!

[@rdcruick]

Perfect timing for this video! Was just watching your other sprinkler video and was going to order one soon.

[@PacificNorthwestLawns]

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.

[@GCITurf]

i will check this out thanks!

[@Lumpygrits76]

😂 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.

[@Terry11111]

Thanks Pete ...appreciate you doing this.

[@kaylac3367]

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.

[@pman2275]

Great Video Pete.... looking forward to the next three !

[@Nothing-available]

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

[@tretre1692]

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!

[@benharrison1069]

Good demo and review, Pete.

[@trevormuggeridge4560]

First Aussie 😁. Pete , a great honest review. 😎👍🇦🇺

[@terrydaniels8400]

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.

[@darrinlindsey]

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.

[@CarterMatthew504]

Hey Pete! Can you do a video about how to start a Lawn renovating business?

[@GCITurf]

i can handle that

[@CarterMatthew504]

@@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!

I wanna drink beer with this dude and listen to him talk about grass

[@GCITurf]

I’d be glad to have a Sundrop with you friend.

[@kennethrobinson5151]

Wow Pete never mind the lawn I feel bad for you showering at that low of water pressure I have about 18 gallons per minute at my house on city water

[@GCITurf]

Yeah it’s pretty bad. We can only take one shower at a time 😂

[@christiancoe1515]

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!

[@CollinEichinger0221]

What are the specs of your well? Is it a constant pressure system or does it cycle a lot when running the irrigation?

[@GCITurf]

28 GPM 80 PSI. I’m pretty sure it’s constant pressure

[@orionsmith7668]

Looks like you had a pressure gauge at the sprinkler. What was the difference in pressure with and without the booster on your city water hookup?

[@GCITurf]

I didn’t check that but I should have

[@howboutdemirish]

Could you give me a thoughts on professional zoysia hydroseeding?

[@stephenfox2090]

Is there a breakdown for a given GPM use this head? What flow rate does that popup sprinkler head require?

[@fayedyousef]

You can look up the chart online and it will tell you

[@huntsw]

What was your City water pressure before and after you turned on the booster pump? Trying to decide how much a pump would help my situation

[@GCITurf]

i actually didnt test that but i should have. i will add that in another video. my apologies...

[@huntsw]

@@GCITurf much appreciated!

[@josecarattini2229]

What is your water pressure from the city and the one with the pump

[@toddfromflorida]

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.

[@Will-lz1nh]

Does the yard by your house feed off the well or city water?

[@GCITurf]

city water goes inside my house...everything outside i use the well

[@mnelson10000]

Was the quick disconnect still on the unit? I'd think that's constricting the flow pretty bad

[@bhoodesky53]

Will a booster pump hooked up to a standard well system, run it dry? On my current well im getting 5 gpm at 40 psi

[@GCITurf]

probably depends on how deep your well is and how long you run it each time

[@bbtank3000]

This is my fear as well.

[@nonamegiven5744]

Kool shirt man! Skillet…we’ve seen um in concert couple times…ozzfest . God bless y’all

Is there any jumbo sled that connects to a 1 inch hose?

Maybe you have old steel water pipe,not copper,slowing water flow?

Just received my forth of July shipment on July 12th. Sad face Pete. Are you tracking your shipments?

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.
