Wheel line sprinkler system sizing

Hi there folks. This is my first posting, so ... here goes.
I am just trying to figure out how to size a small wheel line system (& pump) that I plan on purchasing this spring to water a 5 acre piece of ground this coming summer.
If anyone has experience in the area, I could sure use the advice.
Or if you know the key variables about your own system & want to share...
Here are the facts that I know...
Length of the wheel line: 440' end to end
Sprinklers qty: 11
Sprinkler nozzle size: ?
Water source: pond
Pump size:? Depends on Gallons Per Minute & line pressure needed
Main pipe size (from pond to each wheel line connection): ? was thinking of installing 4" PVC
Maximum horizontal distance from pond to starting of line: 500'
Elevation climb from pond to pipe in wheel line: 10 - 12' I can put pump anywhere in between.
90 degree bends: 2

Thanks in advance for sharing.
