Tractor Sprinkler

Tractor Sprinkler
How can I avoid running over my sprinkler heads when mowing w/ a lawn tractor?

The turf is very thick and unless the sprinklers are on I can not find them and invariably will run over one or more and shatter them. Also, can you tell me to repair them on my own as it's very expensive to buy new heads and have someone come in to reinstall them. Help, please.

Maybe what you should do is go out with a weed-eater BEFORE you mow, and eat around your sprinklers, that way you know where they're at.
As for repairing them, you could probably go to Lowe's or Home Depot and ask someone to help you get the right supplies, and walk you through how to do it. I'd tell you myself, but I haven't seen a sprinkler system put together or repaired for about 15 years.
