That's never a "World's First" - they've been around since the 1930s, IIRC. Someone in my family had one when I was a nipper in the 60s, certainly. Though it wasn't dressed up as a tractor.

Yep this is on my wishlist. I love how it goes all by itself. Free entertainment there ya know. Well almost free, I mean you had the initial startup cost. Just sit on your porch and watch the sprinkler make it's way around the yard. Sippin your sweet tea with lemon. What a way to be. Singing "She thinks your tractors sexy." =)
