Traveling Sprinkler

 Has anyone tried one of the traveling sprinklers that is of the hose
reel type. I am looking at the Rapid Rain Model 860 by Mobile

and its made here in the ole US of A

 

Yay for gadgets. Why fix what ain't broke? A good gear driven or impact
sprinkler can do wonders. It probably works well when new, but probably
quickly develops leaks, or develops problems. But your money, try it, report
back to us what happens to it after a few months.

My father loves his Nelson traveling tractor sprinkler.  He can start it
on one side of the house and it travels to the back of the yard, across,
then back along the other side.  Takes all day, but he doesn't have to
babysit it.  Cheaper brands didn't last, but the Nelson keeps going and
going...  He's used it for a few years now.  Don't know where he bought
it or how much he paid, but I think it is one of these:
