I have no idea why i have this in my recommended, but tbh i was hooked for the whole 3 minutes and 35 seconds.

Great video! The sprinkler works great and we get to see the operation in detail and take in the impressive range. Beautiful setting, too. Always love the stills at the end.

Such a pretty garden tool. Looks like it covers a large area and seems efficient. A real time saver.

[@photocontrol]

This one does cover a large area very well. Thank you!

[@ActNaturally]

Very efficient sprinkler for commercial gardens are large backyards. Let's hope its a good growing season.

[@photocontrol]

Yes it is! A pretty good growing season so far, it's been really dry, been keeping everything irrigated.

Immediately I like it and of course it is a Nelson. Steady as a rock and smooth. I could watch this one all day.

[@photocontrol]

Thank you!

Nelson branded but built by Western raintrol for sure.

Nice vid!

[@TravelHungryForLife]

Very nice indeed see you again all the best cheers 👍🏻👍🏻🥰🥰

[@photocontrol]

Thank you so much! Cheers!

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]

One of those would be nice to have, I did see a couple on FB Marketplace, pretty pricey still for used ones. Maybe one day I will get one.

[@NelsonBigGunP200Fan]

@@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!

[@photocontrol]

@@NelsonBigGunP200Fan The ones I've seen used are pretty expensive, about $5000.00 😬 Hopefully I could find something cheaper one day.

[@homecookexpert]

Wow! It is commercial sprinkler right? So powerful! 👏👏👏👏

[@photocontrol]

Yes, commercial or larger residential.

[@Shimizoo32]

Great video! 素晴らしい製品です👍✨

[@photocontrol]

Thank you!

[@NelsonBigGunP200Fan]

Ah yes. Another from the raintrol design it runs good on your setup. I have a Raintrol 300 that is the same as this. But I believe it needs cleaned out as it might be partially plugged in the drive nozzle. Gets great distance! I believe this is before Nelson in walla walla, WA as those had the smaller rectangular part of the drive arm. I have a walla walla F70 that is front/rear config as well. It's a F70A I believe.

[@photocontrol]

Yes this model was from before Nelson in Walla Walla, sometime in the 70's. Interestingly it came with a internal rubber compression plug for the rear nozzle to allow the user to choose between operating the sprinkler with one or both nozzles. I also have a newer Walla Walla F70.

[@jmd1743]

What water source are you feeding it with?

[@photocontrol]

The water source is from a well, but as these bigger sprinklers have a larger flow rate than the well pump can produce, I fill up a large above ground pool and use a 7hp gas water pump to supply the sprinkler out in the field.

Well this video has gone full circle...
