Legacy/Hunter G70 ON Block Rotor

- Welcome back friends. In this video we are taking a look at the Legacy/Hunter G70 golf rotor.
This Block Rotor is a 1" opposing nozzle full circle rotor which shares a striking similarity to the Hunter I50/I40.
The G70 series from Hunter provided a cost effective sprinkler with a top down construction that was capable of being short range for tees and green as well as long range for close in fairways and bunker areas.
In this demonstration I am using a 1" town feed at 55psi into two Fluent Power Sprinkler Pumps. while the G70 is designed to work at 80 PSI, it performs quite well at 50!!

Awesome video! I’m getting more into golf block rotors and how they all work.
@TheKillionC They are fun , especially since you don't need a massive amount of water to run them normally. This technically isn't a true "block" rotor because it has a valve in head. Normally block rotors will be controlled by a single valve to switch on multiple heads. Like the RB 550/552 and 352.
@@MikeMac89 I would love to find a RB 352. I have a 552, but I haven’t tried running it yet.
@TheKillionC it's the 351 sorry ! I have one but the trigger is broken so it's only full circle. It's basically a 5500 in a block case. Super useful
@@MikeMac89 the 5500 is probably one of the few rotors I don’t have, but I should definitely become more familiar with it.
@TheKillionC I spent about 5 years trying to find one up here in Canada. I have 3. One stainless non potable and the other are plastic risers. Pretty robust rotor
Really great explanation on how these operated. I was responsible for some of these making their way onto golf courses. The partnership that Hunter and Buckner created in that company was very short-lived, but brought the Hunter sprinkler tech together with the world class Buckner controller tech. 1999 would have been right after Hunter bought that portion of Buckner after a few years of partnership. Small thing to consider, if you’re talking about use on a tee block that would make sense. For a block system, they made a G70 without the valve assembly on the side. Looked the same, just none of that stuff hanging off it.
@@antiquesprinklers Thank you for the history ! I am in awe of how much knowledge you have to offer in this field ! I have only seen a couple pop up for sale
@@MikeMac89you did a great job with this.
