Same, I'm slowly swapping out all my 4 inch heads with 6 inch ones. Even though I have compact midnight Kentucky bluegrass that I keep cut low most of the time but I use rotary heads and I like the 6 inch height because it seems to help the rotary heads get better even coverage due to the lower streams being to spray further, especially if I am not able to get the lawn mowed longer than I normally do and the grass height grows high enough to block the low streams from spraying further than a few inches from the head.
I really wished the industry would do away with the 4" pop up and just have the 6" as the industry standard. Hunter does manufacture that seal you can buy. As a tech, I've purchased a few just in case the unit does leak instead of replacing the whole body. Great content brother.
I found your video "extremely" informative....first time having a lawn irrigation system Thank You

I do like the 6" rotors as well. I think it is the way to go with your grass. Well done.
Your video helped me solve my problem. Thank you!
Great. I’m glad. You’re welcome

I have found myself using 6” pop ups more and more. Especially in yards with a taller grass like fescue.
