I use one that we custom built.  I don't get too bored as I have the radio and or cd  player going.  I do have problems  with   water flow at times  but have to fix or adjust the flows.  Balancing the flow is important.
 
I dont use it anymore on bare ground and only on  plastic.  I have one set of wheels custom made on 6"  centers  that I do 4  rows of  onions  at one time.  I use it for leeks and anything else that needs a close spacing.  A 12"OC   wheel  I have two of them for peppers and such.  and a pumpkin/melon wheels. I plant on extra wide  plastic for melons and pumpkins.
 
I lost too much money on bare ground due to evaporation etc...
