I bought this for a rental house I own. And it works great! I have irrigation at my home and really like it but didn't want to spend the $ on a built in system for a rental house,(but I like my properties to look nice) so this Nelson yellow tractor works great. The lawn was so burnt and brown, then after just 3 times with this tractor it needs to be mowed, and the lawn looks good again. It puts the water on perfectly and consistant. It's as good as an irrigation system if not better. (as far as amount of water being applied) The only work involved is placing down the hose and wraping it up, If you call that work? You won't regret buying it if you have a flat lawn.  From the other (negitive) reviews I've read, it sounds like people try to water mud! Up hills in the mountains. I really like it and you will too. Get ready to mow! And one other thing! Keep your eyes on it because some low life will steal it! It's too bad, but very true.
