Simplicity Sprinkler System

[jackcobb 11]

My wife has wanted a sprinkler system for a few years. Contractors have quoted between $6000-$7500. Since I’ve been bragging about what Simplicity tractors can do, she told me to install a system myself. I wanted to pull poly pipe, but I couldn’t locate a vibratory plow I could adapt to a Simplicity, and rental was $240 per day. So, I used my bottom plow on the 7010 to trench and dropped PCV. Made a manifold, backfilled with the 7012, reseeded, and swept up with the 7010. Total material cost for 1800’ for pipe, fittings, cement, 6 solenoid valves, 16 gear heads, 4 impulse heads, 10 fixed pop-ups, 14 stationary nozzles, and a programmable timer was $667.24. Worked part time 5 days plus 2 full days. Just finished. The wife now likes my tractors (for today). http://home.att.net/~herb.niewender/sprinkler-seq.jpg

if Jack is the "toastmaster", then Herb is surely the "postmaster" of the club. Herb is your "Honey-Do" list getting any shorter? Terry

Guys, Thanks for the kind words and encouragement. Terry, Come on…… You know “Honey-Do” lists NEVER get any shorter. Tom, Yes, the Sweepster will fit a 917. After the mower deck, I use this attachment more than any other.
