How Gear Drive Rotary Sprinklers Work

It used to be no question impact sprinklers had the best coverage but, rotor sprinklers are getting better and better every year and there are many models that have all the distance that you ever need to cover large areas.  A similar size gear driven rotor is now capable of being better than an impact sprinkler due to a bigger radius and ability to cover more distance.

However, if you are most concerned with distance then absolutely go for an impact sprinkler – even better check out these impact sprinklers mounted on tripod bases, they will offer you the most coverage hand-down.
