Buy Orbit 58322 Traveling Sprinkler – Cast Iron Tractor Sprinkler with Auto Shut Off

Description

Anyone who has priced up watering a large lawn with a fixed sprinkler knows the hidden cost is not water, it is attention: every half hour belongs to moving the head, overlapping circles and checking for dry strips. The orbit traveling sprinkler takes a different route. Shaped like a small tractor, it drives itself along the garden hose you lay out, pulling itself forward on spiked wheels while its rotating arms throw water across the grass on both sides. The cast iron body gives it the weight to keep gripping and tracking straight, a three position speed control sets how much water each section receives, and an auto shut off ramp placed at the end of the run stops it when the job is done. One setup can cover up to 13,500 sq ft, which makes it a practical answer for big, open lawns.

Key Features

Covers Up to 13,500 Sq Ft in a Single Run

One run can water up to 13,500 sq ft along as much as 200 ft of hose, so a large lawn gets covered in a single setup instead of a rotation of smaller sprinkler positions. That scale is the main reason buyers choose a traveling design.

Cast Iron Tractor Body With Spiked Wheels

The body is cast iron, and the wheels are spiked to grip the grass as it travels. According to the manufacturer specifications, that weight and tread keep the orbit traveling sprinkler moving steadily along the hose instead of slipping on damp ground.

3 Position Speed Control

A 3 position speed control sets the walking pace. Slower travel puts more water down on each section for a deeper soak, faster travel covers ground with a lighter watering, and the third position lets it stay in place like a stationary sprinkler.

Adjustable Spray Diameter From 15 to 55 Ft

The rotating spray arms adjust the spray diameter from 15 to 55 ft, so the same unit can water a narrower strip or open up across the widest part of the yard. It also helps keep throw off paths and drives.

Auto Shut Off Ramp Included

An auto shut off ramp is included in the box. You set it on the hose where the run should end, and when the sprinkler reaches it the water shuts off automatically, so a finished run does not keep soaking one spot.

Product Description

The orbit traveling sprinkler is the widely available face of this category: it is the traveling model most buyers will find first in stores and online, which makes parts and owner advice easier to come by than for harder to find rivals. Under the tractor styling it is a simple mechanical system driven by water flowing through the hose.

Manufacturer specifications list a maximum flow of 6.1 GPM and a maximum pressure of 100 PSI, figures that help you judge whether your outdoor tap can run it at full pace. Owner feedback most often mentions the steady tracking from the spiked wheels and the convenience of the included shut off ramp.

Like every traveling sprinkler, it suits open ground best. Long, clear runs with gentle hose curves get the best results, while steep slopes and cluttered layouts will slow any self propelled design.
