I am guessing that somewhere on the AFSA website, there is a white paper that one Roland Huggins wrote some years ago about putting tractor tires on a "PORSCHE" (not front porch).... it involved the idea of taking a design that was meant to do a very good job, and making it into something that was extremely limiting for no reason...... Not sure that I have the allegory correct but it made an impact on a budding sprinkler geek...... Sincerely, A guy named Cecil
