    Thank you sir for this fine explanation of the RainBird 5000. I'm near 80 and have been putting off tackling repairs on my 16 - Zone system for a few years, but I'm doing it right now. My system has a mishmosh of RainBird, Hunter and Orbit heads several not working correctly. I am replacing all with RainBird heads......with great help from your video, I got 5 done today. I only have about 20 more to go.
    Godspeed.

    Any advice on how to deal with rotors that have settled? The rubber topmost is at / a hair below ground. It does come up fine.
    Someone said unscrew can, add an extension to funny pipe, put dirt around that and screw can back on. Rather than dig whole area and lift can / assembly. Disturbing dirt will cause same problem - settling- again.

  • @murphymmc
    @murphymmc Před 3 lety +2

    Good info. My local sprinkler supplier doesn't carry Rainbird, they carry Hunter. The newer Hunter gear driven have a very similar spray adjustment and nozzle set up. Nothing needs to be disassembled to adjust anything. I really like the gear driven as they are very quiet and smooth. The downside to them is the potential for debris in the system which can cause sprinkler failure. They do not build them to disassemble and flush crap out. I think the Rainbird is less susceptible to failure by junk in the irrigation system.

    • @Johnny-jr2lq
      @Johnny-jr2lq Před 3 lety

    • @GunBlue490
      @GunBlue490  Před 3 lety

      That white gasket together with a totally sealed body is the foolproof part. Rainbird heads are available direct, as I ordered this one, so as yours deteriorate, its a simple matter of swapping them one by one.

    • @GunBlue490
      @GunBlue490  Před 3 lety +1

      My 44 Model 5000+SAM heads have been running flawlessly without adjustment twice a day for six seasons, and have recharged and popped back to life after five very deep frozen New Hampshire winters. The "raincurtain" nozzles project exactly the same water throughout the length of the stream, whether five inches or 32 feet away. Even after being struck by my 3-point hitch rototiller, that head continued to pop up like clockwork, rotate, spray, and function perfectly, though the top and nozzle were gone. That's quite impressive ruggedness in my book.

    @fiftyoon Před 2 lety

    Thanks for the great video. I currently have Rain Bird Maxi Paw impact sprinklers and have problems with sand and crud getting inside. Every year I replace the internals on 4-7 heads. I'm considering changing them out and installing the Rain Bird 5000 rotors. Any thoughts? Since the rotors have a shorter height, would you recommend using cut-off riser extensions or swing pipe elbows and a short length of funny pipe.

    • @GunBlue490
      @GunBlue490  Před 3 lety +3

      I measure robust by the service a product gives over time. I've got 44 Rainbird heads that--with the single exception of the head I rototilled (even then, it continued to work flawlessly without a nozzle)--have been working perfectly for six seasons without readjustment, and have enthusiastically popped back to life after sustaining five deep New Hampshire winters, and they're sure to continue for many more. Robust is as robust does.

    • @WIG23
      @WIG23 Před rokem +1

      I have the same question! I suppose you just keep turning counterclockwise until you come around to the point you want it to be. So, basically, you would turn it left almost 360 degrees.

  • @Work_Out_Hard
    @Work_Out_Hard Před 3 lety

    Sorry, chatting about firearms is not the subject of this particular video but...it's Mr. Gunblue490's latest. Ya know, the problem I have is...if you take down the Browning A5 12 gauge...there's a basic way you can take it down to do a basic cleaning. If you wanted something more in-depth, you'd more than likely send it to a service center or to a gunsmith you trust. My problem with the Browning BAR that I mentioned below...during my take down, there was no basic, easy way...once I was into it...I was into it and it got pretty complicated (I still don't understand why the bolt wouldn't slide forward easily during reinstall - I fired the gun and it worked fine). So, for the BAR...for any kind of cleaning (until I learn more)...I guess I'll have to send it to the service center. This time around, I expect it's going to cost me approximately $500.
    I won't chat about this subject again on this thread...I've already "stolen" the subject enough. Thanks everyone.

  • @frankcadillac9151

    • @GunBlue490
      @GunBlue490  Před 2 lety

      Not that I'm aware. The adjustment is as simple as I demonstrated. Our system is five years old, and the heads all work exactly the same, and have identical construction. I've seen some of those other videos and I think they simply don't know how they work.

    Mr. Gunblue490...would it be possible for you to do a video on how to disassemble, clean and reasonable a Browning BAR? Especially a Browning BAR .243...Portuguese assembled...the version where you have to twist the bolt to get it back in. I field stripped mine and was unable to reassemble it. It’s now being sent to a Browning service center - Midwest Gun Works in Pevely, MO. Heck...I’d even mail my gun to you to make the video...lol! I just really want to know. There’s a couple videos...1 shows how to take it down and the other does not address the Portuguese version where you have to twist the bolt. I understand if you’re not interested but...thanks in advance. Absolutely LOVE your videos...all of them!

    • @GunBlue490
      @GunBlue490  Před 3 lety +1

      I'd love to do one. Unfortunately, I don't have one to demonstrate with. Yours is made in what is probably the most modern and I believe the largest firearms facility in the world, made by highly skilled gun makers. Portugal was making guns before Columbus landed and their craftsmen are second to none. My wife and I drove around Portugal two years ago and were very impressed by their fantastic highway system and the folks we met (most spoke English, which is more than I can say). You can rest assured that any innovation in Browning design is absolutely an improvement in quality. If I can get one to do such a video, I certainly will.
