I had the perfect opportunity this afternoon to capture some decent footage of this beast of a Nelson Irrigation F200 Big Gun, watering a large corner of a cornfield where the nearby center pivots aren't able to cover. Unfortunately, the adjacent road traffic was a bit more excessive than I had hoped for at the time when I recorded these video clips, though I feel that despite the occasional passing vehicle, everything still turned out fairly well in the end.

This is Nelson Irrigation's largest, dedicated full circle Big Gun sprinkler in their 200 Series product line - the F200. This particular sprinkler has a 1.6" taper bore main nozzle installed, along with a smaller (3/8") secondary nozzle located at the base of the elbow that adds extra coverage up close to the sprinkler. Both nozzles have a combined flow rate of approximately 800 GPM at 100 PSI, with an average range of coverage in this particular application of about 240 feet under average weather conditions with minimal wind interference. If not for the light wind we were experiencing at the time thar this video was recorded, it would be capable of throwing out to a maximum of around 260 feet.

Nelson big guns! Good manufacturing and planning go into these and if serviced regularly can last a long time. I'd so love to have one like this for myself and a big yard so i can make videos of it watering it! I assume this F200 is fairly new considering it is still silver in color and not brown from the rust.. Also what i find interesting is it looks so similar to a P200 but without the reverse mechanism or stops.

Too bad we don't have many of these where I live. We mainly have pivots, and the weird smaller versions with the impact heads.

Holy crap! These have some serious range to them!

Thes big guys are not to be taken lightly. With the correct amount of pressure and flow going to them they get quite an amazing distance. I've watched many p200s operate but if they're getting a good source of water they are amazing and relaxing to watch. And it's cool to see them reverse if the brake isn't set right they just whip back around so fast.

Seems very similar to the p200 just without the reverse arm, that has some crazy range! You would need a crazy large pump to run one of these like that!!!
