Can't help you on the Lockwood and we only have 2 Reinke's and both are very old. All the rest of ours are Zimmatics and Valley's.
I say you still need to figure out the tip package so you will know how much water you are putting on at what percent rate.
Does the newer Reinke have a digital panel? Our Zimmatics with the digital panel will tell us how much water they are applying. (if they have been programmed for the right amount of GPM)

In a 12 hr round you will not be putting much water on. Not even with 850gl. (must be nice to have that much water though!!)


I'm guessing that with 850 gl, you can apply an inch every 4 days but that is only a guess! Haven't seen that much water in years! Were lucky to get 500 GPM going into our ΒΌ milers. And some places it takes a whole section to get that much water together.
