Abstract
A wobbling sprinkler head apparatus is provided for use in irrigation systems such as self-propelled mechanically moving irrigation systems, in which the wobbling sprinkler head faces downward from the water supply conduit. The sprinkler head has a body having a water inlet and a connection to the water supply conduit and a nozzle for directing a stream of water from the sprinkler body. The sprinkler head has one or more arms extending from the body around a water deflecting head to support a support collar. The water deflecting head is movably attached to the sprinkler head body and has a water deflecting surface positioned to deflect water directed thereagainst from the nozzle and to rotate the water deflective head. A mass having a weight of greater than 0.5 pounds is removably attached to the support collar to dampen vibrations caused by the wobbling sprinkler head and may be interchanged between different masses to meet different operating conditions.
