Nelson 1865 Raintrain Traveling Sprinkler

We have used one of these for about ten years with great success. The tractor can even follow the hose around gentle 10' radius curves. The little ramp clips on the hose and has a folding ground spike to keep it from slipping. When the tractor reaches the ramp, it pushes a shut off valve on the belly of the tractor. Very simple and effective. Part of our ramp finally snapped off, but it still works. We've never had a problem with the tractor. The adjstable spray wands allow you to regulate the size of the area covered. I suppose it can drag about forty feet of hose before it slows it down. That probably will vary depending on the depth and density of your turf and how straight the path is.

You won't be disappointed; this is a time-tested classic!
After hearing so much about this unit, and seeing a couple of them in my neighborhood, I decided to give it a try, even though the price was higher than I ever expected to pay for a lawn sprinkler.

I now know why so many people like it. It is very effective in watering the lawn, without spraying water high up in the air (less chance for evaporation, and not affected by wind as much), and it has hands-off operation once you set it up.

Adjusting the spray diameter is easy, and using the hose as a way to set the travel path for the sprinkler to follow is a great idea. The adjustable speed allows you to decide how much water to apply and how much ground you want to cover in a period of time.

Inspecting the yard afterwards shows that the ground is nicely saturated, and not needing to go out and move hoses is a welcomed change. This sprinkler is worth the purchase price!
