Travelling Gun Irrigator

The red hose looks like it is from the water source.

I read this yesterday and had so many questions I will spare you the trouble of dumbing it down for a city boy. Although maybe I could start with "Built 20 years ago from a kit, or from scratch?" Anything you built 20 years ago that has required only routine maintenance is by definition a job well done.

I was confused by the red hose too- Worntorn's post says power and water are delivered in a trench, presumably along the water gun's route, but I haven't worked out how that figures into the 800 foot length on 3" hose that collects on the reel. And I haven't worked out how it travels on just two wheels. Does it travel in a laser straight line, or can it tolerate a bend in the road? You can run it, unattended, for 12 hours straight?

It looks to me like the sprinkler is on skids and the unit "reels" the sprinkler in as it runs (the big unit pictured would be stationary). That is the only way I could see it working. I could be wrong though.
