Product Information

Powerful two-speed transmission provides continuous motion in high or low speeds and can be set to neutral for stationary use The Rain Train can be a conversation piece since it’s so fun to watch. Here is one of the many comments about how entertaining it can be to watch this sprinkler do it’s job, “Oh this baby makes watering your lawn fun. It has been a over a month of using it now and I am very glad I got it. It take a few tries to figure-out how to best layout the garden hose and adjust the arms to match my lawn. Otherwise this sprinklers is worth the money and even fun to watch.” Great for Long and Narrow Sections to Water The Nelson Raintrain travels along a line of hose that’s exceedingly longer than the distance traveled by other types of tractor sprinklers. You can plot a detailed path on one section of your lawn, or you can wrap the entire line of hose around your house, and cover multiple areas of your land. Largely due to its ability to adjust its speed which indirectly affects the concentration of its watering abilities, the Nelson Raintrain can be used on more than just your lawn. If you have shrubs, plants, flowers, or anything else that may need watering the Nelson Raintrain will be able to handle them, quite capably. Visible Yellow Paint

If you are on well water or any water system really, that has fluctuations in the water pressure, expect the Rain Train to stall and stop while pressure rebuilds. Hose Weight Matters Out of all the tractor sprinklers on the market, you’d think that speed wouldn’t be an issue. This is far from true, however – in fact, the Nelson Raintrain Traveling Sprinkler is one of the only sprinklers you can find that doesn’t lumber slowly along the path that you set out for it. The path choice is endless and certainly helped by the supreme amount of distance covered by the Raintrain. Total Coverage Extends up to 13,500 Square Feet Each Nelson traveling sprinkler comes equipped with aluminum spray arms that can provide coverage ranging from 15 feet up to 55 feet in diameter. There are variable speeds to choose from including high, low, and neutral. Auto-Shut Off Ramp There were a lot of positive comments coming in from people who have a long and narrow strip of grass to water. Here is one of the many comments about long and narrow sections to water, “I have about a 150 foot long strip of grass that would require many many sprinkler repositionings to cover. This works like a charm and is so fun to watch. My neighbor is very enamored with it too. It seems very well made out of heavy gauge steel and weighs more than it looks. I guess it needs to be heavy to have enough traction to drag nearly a hundred feet of hose.” Works Best With Good Water PressureIt is important that this arrangement is screwed up tightly to the point where the sideways movement is eliminated. It is at this point the rubber seals will be pulled together to prevent leaks. If you don’t have enough water pressure, the Rain Train may not travel at the higher speeds. Some considered it a flaw, but it is going to be dependent on your water pressure. A disappointed customer commented this about the travel rate, “Its travel rate on ‘Lo’ is much slower than the claimed 21 feet/hour. It took ours 7 full hours to travel about 70 feet.” This affordable traveling sprinkler features an automatic shut-off system which helps you the homeowner, reduce water waste. You will notice the little yellow-ramp attached to the hose. When you start your tractor sprinkler, you can walk away with confidence, knowing that once the mechanism reaches the yellow ramp, the water is automatically shut off. The Nelson Raintrain Traveling Sprinkler is made to cover13,500 sq. ft. as it travels 200 ft. It has three different speeds for varying saturations. The body is made of heavy-duty cast iron with a chip resistant powder coat paint that is built to last. The aluminum spray arm is adjustable and made to provide a coverage range of 15 feet to 55 feet in diameter. It features an automatic shut-off and 3 speed settings including fast, slow, neutral and self-propelled. Automatic Shutoff All our irrigators come built up and fully tested prior to delivery.

Saves Money - metering is here to stay and wasted gallons could cost you dearly. The Water Tractor’s automatic shut off valve will end the worry of leaving the hose on all night.Simply connect your hose pipe to a tap and then lay it out in the middle of the intended route on the area you wish to be irrigated, use wide gradual turns wherever possible. Route the hose pipe around obstacles to get into areas that might normally be missed. This amount of coverage isn’t anything extraordinary, but it’s the base amount of coverage you’re going to want from a tractor sprinkler, especially one that constantly puts out water.
