Orbot 58322 Traveling Sprinkler Setup, In Action, Review Best Sprinkler Out There!

This review is about the orbit travelling sprinkler 58322. I was looking for a good sprinkler that I wouldn't have to move around or worry about turning the water off in between uses or anything to be able to water a large yard and all I found was a bunch of junk sprinklers out there until I found the orbit travelling sprinkler and it is amazing! You can set whatever path you need by laying out the hose in the path you want it to follow and you can set it to spray between 15 and 55 feet all around it so it covers small and even large yards. It works with up to 200 feet of hose up to 13500 sq feet. It is built like a tank and very reliable being made of cast iron and the best part is the little stopper that you put where you want it to eventually stop because it shuts off the water for you so you aren't wasting water if you forget about it.
It is a completely self propelled sprinkler. In high gear, the sprinkler travels approximately 37 feet per hour and applies about ¼ inch of water. In low gear, the sprinkler travels approximately 21 feet per hour and applies about ½ inch of water. Set it to neutral to use it as a stationary sprinkler. it is the best of both worlds. If you don't want to invest thousands in a sprinkler system and a timer and all of that this works amazingly well.
I have to say that the sprinkler having automatic shutoff is the best feature of this.
If you are having a problem with your orbit sprinkler running backwards this video will teach you how to fix it. Or if you are having an issue with the arms of the orbit sprinkler coming off I will show you how to fix that.

Thanks for the excellent video. I remember my friends dad had one of these years ago when I was kid. I saw an Amazon ad for this one and decided to check YT to see if it was any good.

[@sherris5289]

Just got one, thanks for the video, was going backwards until I watched your video, lol.

[@JosephToddYT]

Glad I could help

[@terrancenolan2003]

I was so impressed with the video, I purchased 2. I’ve had at least 3 bad experiences so far. Each time it jumped the track (the hose). My worst experience so far came after I set it up to run during the night and I came out the next morning to find it off track and still spraying water. The yard was completely soaked! It sprayed all night long (9 hours). I still don’t know what’s causing it to do that.

[@JosephToddYT]

It can be finicky with tall grass and a heavy hose. You're hose gets really heavy it is long and full of water. So if you make your lines too long or with tight turns then it can fall over from the weight of pulling the hose behind it. Try to use a light hose and I hope it works better for you.

[@johnnyfallon9113]

Agree it pulls the hose behind it if you have a 100 foot heavy hose hes gonna pull a wheely eventually i had to go light hose 50 foot was my sweet spot never had a problem again😊

[@JSchocker]

Excellent review of this product - I've been trying to find a good video on this; Thank you!

[@JSchocker]

I ended up buying this - very happy with the purchase!

[@JosephToddYT]

Glad it was helpful!

[@NotNoAndrew]

Thanks for the how to video, I got mine at Lowe's and it was $75 and got it the same day. I agree the manual could have explained it better.

[@aimeegauvin908]

I have one and love it! I think your dog is cute! Thanks for the video.

[@JosephToddYT]

I'm glad you like the video and thanks for watching it! Aww thanks!

[@isabelladavis1363]

Thank u for the information and taking the time to share...much appreciated

[@JosephToddYT]

No problem!

[@100fredkrueger]

I have an orbit tripod and that sucker is unreal. I have a little over an acre and in my front I put it right in the middle and have it spray in a 360 pattern and it almost overs the whole front yard. This thing would be great if it would be able to go back and forth. But as it is, for my yard this won’t be good enough. But for a small yard it would be great.

[@gordonb1528]

Doesn't really apply to the traveling sprinkler, does it?

[@MammaOVlogs]

l got one and love it and will it go over where you attach another hose to the hose or will it shut off

[@JosephToddYT]

As long as the front wheel can get over the piece that connects them yeah. It shuts off only when it hits that green piece you see in the video.

[@pamdavis9077]

I have a u shape i need to cover very large side yard.. and wonder when you hook the hose up to the tractor, it needs to have that initial loop like yours to start on the track right? I am getting one! I have very good water pressure and if i put it on low/downward like yours, how many feet to each side does yours cover? How do you adjust the feet throw? I just saw that low/high switch? Thanks Joseph great video!

[@RobinHolland-ih6gx]

Thank you for your video. Help me so much.

[@JosephToddYT]

You are welcome!

[@VegaFoster]

Great video, thanks for sharing!

[@JosephToddYT]

Thanks for watching glad it could help!

[@dajo4349]

Goode vid. Just got one from a friend but didn't know how it shut off the water. Any idea what the little holes are for on each side of the hose fitting? Thanks.

[@trentbiro5019]

I have on exactly like this except I have the arms pointing up a little bit and have it spinning slow because I think that it does a better job even though it’s turning slow it still throws the water out far

[@JosephToddYT]

Nothing wrong with that, the layout of my backyard is just such that I keep mine down more. Whatever works best for you!

[@aland7236]

1:00 The spray arms are probably flared to mate better on the supply side. Did you slide the nuts over from the nozzle end?

[@dreid4760]

Thanks for your insight. I do have a question. When the tractor first starts it is watering behind the tractor once as well in front of the tractor when it stops. However, the rest of the area is getting watered twice once from in front of the tractor and again from behind the tractor. How do you address these areas being only once watered?

[@daneav8]

Are you related to Oppenheimer? ;) This is a mechanical, 18 pound, die cast sprinkler invented in the 1930’s. It is pretty neat for what it is, but it isn’t perfect. Yes, your slide rule lawn calculus is correct. There will be some grass at the beginning, and some at the other end that only gets half the water (but more water than it had before). The remaining 90% of the grass along the path traveled gets the full dose. In the 1930’s, their way of “addressing” this was to not worry about it.

[@JosephToddYT]

I second this opinion

[@bluepandaman]

Great video!

[@SonnyGTA]

ORBIT!

[@jpfang3109]

I was not watching you. I was watching your dog’s little snout... lol I’m a dog lover

[@JosephToddYT]

Haha I would have done the same thing!

[@TheFarmacySeedsNetwork]

Thanks for the review.. sounds like it lives up to the marketing. This might be he ticket for next year's crops. Thanks!

[@JosephToddYT]

No problem! I'm happy to help!

[@rtk301]

Is 80 pounds of water pressure adequate for good performance? Thanks you for video, good information.

[@JosephToddYT]

That should work really well actually. I don't think you would have a problem at all!

[@franlum]

@@JosephToddYT Good question I was wondering as I have over 90 # pressure and was concerned about blowing a seal or a gasket. I had the good old nelson years ago and loved it. But this is the cats meow with the water shut off valve, which is what had me worried about the high water pressure damaging int. I just ordered and expect delivery here in Hawaii Jun 5.

[@JosephToddYT]

I have super high water pressure too and it hasn't caused any problems it works really well the higher you have. I hope it works well for you! good luck!

[@itptires]

@@franlum 90 is above code here. 80 is max, 60 is typical. Why so high?

[@gordonb1528]

My sprinkler has always worked. Lately, the arms barely turn. As they go clockwise, friction builds until they stop when they should spin freely. Why the friction?

[@JosephToddYT]

I would assume it has gotten full of calcium build up from hard water. Vinegar is supposed to get rid of it pretty well if you can figure out a way to soak it.

[@Hizenbird]

Wait, so you have to move it back to the start whenever you want to water the grass?

[@JosephToddYT]

Yeah you do have to move it and lay out the hose.

[@joecrozier4922]

@@JosephToddYT I understand these can work on up to 200’ of garden hose. So it will travel over connected hoses ok and not shut off? Thanks!

[@cberrier78]

You have a huge yard and that thing moves really slow. Are you able to place your hose in a back and forth loop in order to get full coverage? How long have you been using it? Your lawn looks dead :)

[@JosephToddYT]

Yeah, I was trying to regrow old grass that was dead here in Las Vegas but it is a lost cause here. You can place it in whatever path you need as long as the corners aren't super tight or your hose super heavy

[@SharpnessSword]

Epic

[@willymaven1626]

Do you have issues that it goes off the rail time by time?

[@albundy5198]

Will this work with linked hoses? Goodyear hoses have pretty big connections. Also I’d need to lay out 250 feet of hose not sure it could pull that much

[@JosephToddYT]

It would not be able to pull that much hose except maybe in a straight line.

[@jerrymclellan4711]

Isn't that a sprinkler head, just west-southwest of the sprinkler, at about 3:18 into the video?

[@airborne350g]

Guess you didn’t watch the whole video. At 9:13 he talks about that other sprinkler.

[@dnr733]

anyone here know if there is a workaround for the arms coming out? I have two sets of arms and the non-soaker arm is coming out. Only one of them and I don't want to buy another set.

[@JosephToddYT]

So I ended up taping them to the black piece with some gorilla tape and it works pretty well. The popping off is like the most annoying thing but other than that I haven't had any other issues.

[@MrMattguevara]

Have to decide if I want to set this up a few times a week or put down a few hose linked spike sprinklers one a week.

[@JosephToddYT]

I have tried both and would rather do this but I have never liked the coverage and remembering to move the spike ones multiple times in the same day.

[@luthertimberlake9451]

Will this work with a soft expandable hose?

[@JosephToddYT]

I haven't tried it but I don't think it will work with it. That hose shrinks when not full of water so it would be hard to lay a path for the sprinkler.

[@tobytyler7482]

Does it work in tilled earth in garden?

[@JosephToddYT]

It should with the spiky wheels it has and it is heavy so as long as you use a good hose for it it should be fine :)

[@thisguy2659]

How does it spray directly around it? It looks dry around the hose/track

[@JosephToddYT]

As it moves forward the space directly around it becomes further away and that's when it hits it.

[@RoadDog79]

Can it do 45° curves?

[@JosephToddYT]

As long as you don't have a super heavy duty hose or do it near the end. The "tractor" has to pull more and more the longer it goes. At the beginning it would be able to do it easily but near the end the weight of the hose would pull from the side and might knock it over.

[@lowKut]

How wide does it shoot?

[@JosephToddYT]

Depending on how you tilt the arms it can go about 25 feet on either side.

[@bubbagump1952]

Does this do ok and unleveled ground?

[@JosephToddYT]

It is not very good with unleveled ground. It has to pull the hose behind it so it could work If it isn't too unlevel but you will have to lay the hose out really well to get it to work well.

[@aznloc]

Will this work with those as seen on tv flex hoses that expands and contracts?

[@JosephToddYT]

I would assume it would work well because of how lightweight they are but then again since the stretch out when you turn on the water that might make it hard to make the path for the sprinkler.

[@brianchisnell1548]

No. 200 foot garden hose max recomended.

[@MistAtsiM]

Wish it went backwards too...

[@JosephToddYT]

Out of curiosity why do you want it to be able to go backwards?

[@source1813]

Tell big bird kermits looking for him

[@TexasTechguy210]

Is the grass dormant? Because it looks like you don't water your grass. Lol Thanks for the info though 👍

[@JosephToddYT]

It was winter time and we had just moved here. It looks great now 7 months later. I'm glad it helped!

[@lisamcclure19]

Your grass looks beyond repair 😂

[@JosephToddYT]

Yeah, I'm in Nevada. I know. Haha

[@suegoetz1221]

why is it that you have no grass?

[@JosephToddYT]

This video was filmed right when I moved to Las Vegas. I now see that growing grass here is a lost cause and not good for the water supply that we have.

[@semaglig]

My lawn is pretty thick and I cut it as high as my mower will go. Any owners of this sprinkler have a similar type lawn? How does it perform?

[@tammypetrick5468]

You said 200 foot hose. Does that mean you gotta buy 1 hose that is 200 feet or can I connect the ones I have already???

[@JosephToddYT]

I meant that the max size is 200 feet. It works even better with a 50 or 25 or anything smaller. Good luck!

[@tammypetrick5468]

@@JosephToddYT Thanks! Will it work if you connect hoses together is the main question I am asking.? I have a large area , before I spend more money wanted be sure that it would ride over where hoses are connected. thank you for your video

[@daysitahh]

TAMMY PETRICK Same with me, we just built our home on 2 acres and need to water where we plantes grass in March. Tired of moving the sprinklers around.... Will it move if we have several water hoses connected???

[@JosephToddYT]

Yes it will it has a lot of torque but the heaviest hoses you will have to make more straight lines so it doesn't pull it over

[@nottabidenfan660]

It looks like you should have started watering a few years ago!

[@JosephToddYT]

Haha Yeah this is a rental property for me and we just moved into it being like this. Trying to take care of it the best we can with what we were given. I doubt it ever looked as good as it does now using this sprinkler.

[@kind2311]

"orbot"?

[@RustyShot]

Hahahahaha I watched this video when it was at like 500 views?!?!?!?! 😂😘

[@JosephToddYT]

Haha well thanks for watching it twice man!

[@erptretro8608]

When are you streaming

[@ThreePhaseHigh]

I disagree the orbit might work a little but the best one on the market is the Underhill Tracker™ T-400 Portable Irrigation Machine . And for just a few dollars more.

[@thorrepairs6557]

It’s like $2000-$3000 dollars so quite a bit more then the orbit.

[@ThreePhaseHigh]

Yeah I just like I said a few dollars more 😁
