Orbit58322 Traveling Sprinkler, Green (Traveling Sprinkler)

I'm very impressed with this little sprinkler so far. I have nearly an acre of grass, and putting in an underground system would cost a fortune. On the other hand I didn't want to be a slave to having to constantly move a sprinkler around, so I thought I'd give this little guy a chance. So far I absolutely love it. It went off the track twice the first time I used it, but since then it's been perfect. I'm using 200' of hose and other than that first usage it's stayed on the track perfectly. You still have to set it up and make sure the hose is laid out properly of course, but it beats having to move a sprinkler around constantly. I've only had it a couple of week so I can't speak to the longevity, but so far it's highly recommended.

The media could not be loaded. To be fair I've only had this thing for about a week... but boy has it been a good week. I live in a very dry climate but I have to grow certain kinds of grasses for my tortoises. I purchased this thing because I just couldn't get to installing a sprinkler system this year. It actually does a really good job of following the hose and watering the lawn.I think there could be improvements made to the way it follows the hose, but honestly it works really well regardless. I would definitely buy again. Well worth the money. You can adjust how big of an area you want watered based on the angles of the spouts. Because I don't have a ton of water pressure, mine moves really slow. I set it so that it's watering everything far away from it so that it's not muddy by the time it gets to the watered areas in front of it. It works well for our dry climate. The body of it is made of metal and is actually really heavy and seems well made.Because our water pressure is a little low it also doesn't cover a ginormous area, but it covers enough for us. I love how it's designed to turn itself off when it goes over the ramp. So far I haven't had any mishaps where it does not turn off. I will try to update next year because most gardening equipment here in New Mexico doesn't last more than a year

I saw these in some yards and thought they were stupid toys. Turns out, i was the stupid one. I have hated watering my huge backyard for 8 years, and now it is so simple. I HIGHLY recommend this. I can't speak to its longevity, but it sure works great.

I don't want to get an in-ground sprinkler system put in but I also don't want my entire lawn to die when it gets really dry out. This tractor sprinkler seems like a pretty good compromise. Some cautions about using it.Be prepared to spend some time figuring out how it works on your lawn and on your property. The shape of your property, hills, divots, humps, etc. can all impact how it works. It has to drag the hose behind it so you have to plan ahead to think about where and how it will be dragging the hose when it has been running for a while.Get yourself a long hose and a quick release adaptor. If you want to water a 100 ft stretch of grass you'll likely need a 125ft length of hose to do it comfortably. That's a lot of hose, it's heavy and unwieldy to work with. This tractor is not quick and convenient so be prepared for that.For the first several uses you'll be figuring out how it runs, how to point the sprayers, whether you want the high or low setting and whether the automatic shut off works as expected. Be prepared to babysit it for the first several runs and to get a little wet in the process. One way to aim the spray where you want it is to hold the sprayer and twist the arms until the spray is landing exactly where you want it...if you don't have a helper you're going to get wet.The initial investment of time in figuring out how to get this to run smoothly is pretty high. If you don't want to water your neighbor's lawn you have to take a fair bit of time getting the angles of the sprayers right and if you move it to a larger area you have to fiddle with the sprayers again to get the right angle. If you have one uniform sized strip of grass to water this tractor will be pretty easy to figure out. If you have a larger property with several differently shaped stretches of grass it quickly becomes harder and harder.Having said all that, it DOES work and certainly does beat standing out in the grass with a sprayer for 2 hours.

I love my orbit water tractor. I had written a bad review. But I had to come back and admit that I had made a mistake in my review. This tractor is awesome and really does the job well. My apologies to Orbit for the bad review earlier. I take it all back. I would recommend your product to any and everyone in the future

Cool !! I’m getting a long hose and letting it rip. Thanks for a great tractor sprinkler , the coverage is amazingly adjustable and can be tailored to any preferred span.

My husband likes using this because it covers a large area with ease of setting it up to do the entire yard. We have purchased two.
