Kifco B110 Vs B140: Which Water-Reel® Is Right for Your Property?
If you’ve got a few acres to water, a Kifco Water-Reel® is one of the easiest tools you can own. Set it up, walk away, and come back to a watered field. No electricity. No trenching. No babysitting a sprinkler.
But which model do you need - the B110 or the B140? They work the same way, but they’re built for different jobs. Here’s how to pick the right one.
How a Water-Reel® Works
A Water-Reel® uses your water supply pressure - and nothing else - to slowly reel in a long poly tube. The sprinkler at the far end moves across your field as the tube pulls back. When the run is done, an automatic shutoff stops the water. You don’t have to be there.
Both the B110 and B140 use a bellows drive. No turbines. No batteries. No engines. The bellows runs on the same water flowing through the hose. It works from as low as 45 PSI - the pressure of a standard well or tap.

The B110: Built for Up to an Acre at a Time
The B110 is the lighter, more nimble machine. It weighs 276 pounds dry and rides on two large flotation tires. You can pull it by hand across most ground.
It covers up to 0.8 acres per run. That’s plenty for a paddock, a large garden, a riding arena, or a patch of pasture. It works from as little as 45 PSI and 4 GPM - lower than almost any other traveling sprinkler on the market.
If your water comes from a tap or a standard well, the B110 will likely work with what you’ve already got.
Good fit for: paddocks, horse arenas, gardens, sports fields, and properties up to about 2 acres where you move the machine between runs.
The B140: Built for Serious Acreage
The B140 is a bigger machine in every way. The tube is wider and 70 feet longer. The throw is nearly twice as wide. It covers up to 2 full acres in a single run.
It rides on three tires, which helps on uneven or soft ground - the kind you find on hobby farms, food plots, and rough pastures. It’s heavier at 530 pounds, so most people tow it with a garden tractor.
It also works with a broader range of sprinkler heads - Sime K1, Sime Hidra, Nelson SR75, and Komet Twin Max - so you can match the gun to your water supply and crop.
Good fit for: hobby farms, food plots, hay fields, sports complexes, and any property where you want to cover more ground with fewer passes.
Which One Should You Buy?
| Get the B110 if you have... | Get the B140 if you have... |
| • Paddock, arena, or garden | • Hobby farm, food plot, or hay field |
| • Standard well or tap (45+ PSI) | • Need to cover 1 to 2 acres per run |
| • Want to move the machine by hand | • Have a tractor to tow with |
| • Watering less than 1 acre per run | • Want fewer passes to cover your property |
| • Looking for the most affordable entry point | • Need wider throw for large open fields |
A Note on Water Supply
Both machines run on water pressure - no electricity needed. But the B140 needs more flow. It requires at least 18 GPM to operate, while the B110 can run on just 4 GPM.
If your water comes from a pond, a creek, or a low-pressure well, you may need a booster pump. The B110 works with a 1 HP electric booster. The B140 pairs with 5.5 HP or 9 HP gas pumps for higher flow needs.
Not sure about your pressure and flow? Check with your well driller or contact your local Kifco dealer. They can help you match the right machine to your water source.
Bottom Line
Both the B110 and B140 are simple, reliable machines built in the USA with a 1-year warranty and a 5-year pro-rated tube warranty. They’ve been proven in the field for over 40 years and over 35,000 units sold.
The B110 is the right tool for smaller jobs. The B140 is for when you’ve got more ground to cover and want to do it fast. Either way, you set it up, walk away, and come back to a watered field.
That’s the whole point.
