Limitations to hand line custom lengths and adapters Hand lines are for smaller amounts of areas to water and wheel lines are for larger. You see hand lines at football fields and wheel lines on farms. Both do a good job of spreading up to 3 inches of water per 24-hour period, however, hand lines are much harder to maintain because a person has to move the machine every certain amount of minutes or hours (by hand). The difference between the two are automations. Although hand lines have a ton of custom lengths and adaptors and at times, cheaper, wheel lines are more practical. If you want to save time because you have more field to water, wheel lines are the way to go.
