Rain Bird vs Hunter. I had so much fun testing my last new sprinkler, the Rain Bird 6504 Falcon, that I decided to buy and test its chief competitor the Hunter I40. I’ve read that their spray patterns are a little bit different and that’s what I’m most interested in today.
I bought the Rain Bird Falcon's main competitor—the Hunter I-40—to see which large rotor sprinkler truly delivers the best performance. Both are used on athletic fields and massive lawns, but my test revealed a huge difference in their water distribution pattern!
Using catch cups, a soil moisture sensor, and controlled conditions, I break down exactly how these two powerful sprinklers apply water. If you're designing an irrigation system or just looking for the best portable sprinkler for a large area, this test is essential viewing.
In This Head-to-Head Test You'll See:
The Setup: How I installed matching nozzles and spaced my DIY catch cups to measure output.
The Hunter Surprise: The I-40 delivered a huge water bulge near the sprinkler, causing my moisture sensor to react 15 minutes faster than the Rain Bird.
The Distribution Curve: Why the Rain Bird's smoother pattern makes it far superior for portable watering with half-way overlap.
The Dry Spot Danger: Why the Hunter I-40's pattern is problematic for above-ground use.
Final Verdict: Which sprinkler is the winner for a portable setup and which is better overall.
If you've ever compared Ford vs. Chevy, you know the loyalty runs deep—but the data doesn't lie!
