Hunter releases new PGP-06 rotor

SAN MARCOS, Calif. — Tall grass can block or deflect a rotor’s nozzle stream, which leads to dry, underwatered patches and muddy, overwatered areas. The new PGP-06 solves this problem with a taller pop-up height. At 6-inches, it can clear tall turf and deliver water efficiently without interference.

"When the nozzle stream is blocked by turf, it can’t work effectively. The new PGP-06 rotor pops up a full 6-inch, which positions the nozzle high above the turf. This allows it to deliver water unimpeded,” said Steve Hoveln, product manager.

Featuring a ¾-inch inlet and a wide array of easy-to-install, high-efficiency nozzles, it’s a great system upgrade option with numerous benefits:   

• Patented automatic arc return feature returns the turret back to the original arc pattern if vandalized. The adjustable arc spans from 50° to 360°.
• Non-strippable drive mechanism is protected from damage if turned in the opposite direction of travel.
• Part- and full-circle rotation in one model offers flexibility across landscapes and reduced inventory.
• Headed and slotted setscrew enables all-radius adjustment with a Hunter wrench or flat-blade screwdriver, making it easy to fine-tune the spray.
• QuickCheck arc mechanism enables rapid arc adjustment.

The 6-inch pop-up model rounds out the line of PGP Ultra rotors, which also includes the 4-inch model, along with the 12-inch pop-up and shrub models.
