Fixing the drops isn't so bad since you can park the sprinkler in a convenient place.

Usually working on the sprinkler involves a hike like this:
This gearbox has gone bad. This tower was deep enough in the field, and we are busy enough, that we called the experts to replace it. They have a little motorized tracked vehicle that runs between the corn rows to carry heavy parts and/or tires to the middle of the field.
That is corn pollen on my hat. A good sneezing fit is always important after a trip through the corn this time of year.
