I think some people just put stupidly overpriced stuff on Amazon, to see if someone's dumb enough to actually buy it!

This one's my favorite. Got to love a round sprinkler, that can spray a square pattern. Super easy to adjust, too!

I'm not so sure what's so odd about that one:


I'm not so sure it will water an actual square (and I don't see anything in the Amazon add that says it waters in a square pattern) but the spray pattern IS highly adjustable.

It doesn't have a square pattern. It's right in the description:

  • Ideal for large circular lawns
  • Up to 5,800 square foot coverage
  • 86-feet diameter circular spray (43-feet spray distance)
We got one, they work good for about a year, like most junk these days. I think in was $15 at Menards.

It's commercial grade sprinkler for watering ballfields and other large turf areas. It isn't designed for home use.

Took a look at it when OP first posted, it's a niche product that delivers 10 gpm made for football fields, etc and tracks on a cable. Imagine it used a rural playfield.

The $4k price tag is what I was referring to.
Here ya go, ya cheap bastard -



Go ahead now and complain about the newer model at a $900 discount. :eek: :rolleyes: :p

I am a cheap bastard, and $4k sprinklers proves the old adage about a fool and his money.

All I can tell you is that I owned one, and it did a fine job of putting water out to the corners, while NOT shooting past the shorter distance sides of my yard. You adjust the rail up or down, to lengthen or shorten the distance it throws the water, and it does a damn fine job, without breaking the bank.
