Use one quite a bit and mine went bad. Went to local hardware, bought 3 new ones,
returned 3 new ones & none of them would oscillate. Any suggestions on a new one?
 
I use these.. however on a windy day their worthless then I go to the old tractor walkers..

I stopped using the ones like you have pictured and have went to the sprinkler that the underground sprinkler guys use. Its designed to be buried and it pops up when the water comes on. I just took them and have mounted them on my home made towers that I used to have ends on like you pictured. They seem to work a bit better. At least for me. I have had 7 of them running at the same time off my home pump. You can set them to only rotate a span like the one you show also. I think Menards and Home Depot has them.
 
Years ago Dad took an old push lawnmower that had a bad motor and removed the motor. He mounted a piece of pipe about 4' high upright on the deck and put the sprinkler on that. It made a steady base that was easy to move around and gave good coverage. You could set it at the end of the yard and when it was time to move it, just pull on the hose to position it where you needed it. Many people who saw it in action went home and built one of their own.
 
(quoted from post at 08:36:59 05/10/18) 50lbs pressure, well water

50 psi is probably enough, but what about the hose? Is it restricted anywhere? Is it of sufficient diameter? 1/2 inch diameter would be minimum. 5/8 inch, or 3/4 inch is better.
 
My friend the scrapper gave me one of those tractor sprinklers that follow the hose. The gear box needs two gears to make it work again but when I called the company they said they do not make or sell parts. Bummer, I alway wanted one of these critters. Does anyone have a good gearbox? I'll pay for it if it is reasonable.
