![]() ![]() The Toro 250 is not easy to work on, and the solenoid plunger always falls out. I mainly use Hunter valves as I have found them to be reliable and easy to work on. I used to always have to drill out this hole. I have told Toro reps that the little hole through which the top of the sensor spindle sticks out is too tight. I found it too prone to sticking and losing communication, so I switched to Hunter's. ![]() I really liked the features and the fact that the batteries could be changed. I used to use the Toro Wireless Rain and Freeze Sensor. I mainly use Rain Bird nozzles, as they will fit the Pro Spray. I think Hunter Pro Spray has the best seal on the market, so that is what I use. I did try the new Toro Precision nozzles, some of which will fit other brand bodies, but found them too prone to breakage and/or clogging. Since Toro spray nozzles only fit Toro bodies, I don't use them. I really like Toro's spray nozzles, however, I don't like the spray bodies. Thank you for allowing me to vent a smidgen lol ill go back to my rainbird corner now Stop trying to slap a brand name on everything that really isn't cut out for you. I feel like Toro has completely dropped the ball in the irrigation field and should stick with making golf course equipment or larger scale irrigation only. There are always breaks, other obstacles, and sometimes dirty water to work with. I'm sure in the testing center and on paper all this works great. The only problem I have with valve are the super tiny threads on the solenoids are very easily stripped. Nozzles are horrible, precision included, in fact for they're the worst of the worst. The 6" and 12" spray heads come out of the box usually covered in this weird film only to be described as oily. I do not like anything about the Toro brand on this side of things. These days I'm more of the residential side of things you could say, nothing larger than a 2 inch valve or a t7 head. When I was in the golf irrigation business, I loved Toro heads, hated the controllers and really really hated the central computer program. Not often you get a person from the actual manufacturer here lol. I'm late to the party but I'll throw in my 2 cents just to get it off my chest. Irrigation has been a central feature of agriculture for over 5000 years, and was the basis of the economy and society of numerous societies, ranging from Asia to Arizona.Īnd Check ou the Big List of Related Reddits ![]() Irrigation is often studied together with drainage, which is the natural or artificial removal of surface and sub-surface water from a given area. Irrigation systems are also used for dust suppression, disposal of sewage, and in mining. In contrast, agriculture that relies only on direct rainfall is referred to as rain-fed or dryland farming. Additionally, irrigation also has a few other uses in crop production, which include protecting plants against frost, suppressing weed growth in grain fields and preventing soil consolidation. It is used to assist in the growing of agricultural crops, maintenance of landscapes, and revegetation of disturbed soils in dry areas and during periods of inadequate rainfall.
