Travelling Speed How This “Nelson Rain Train” (Tractor) Works This is the easiest way to water your Lawn!! We have a huge area to water, and it used to be a chore to move around several different sprinklers to reach all the areas of our yard. With the Rain Train we can water a very large area without ever having to relocate the sprinkler. The tractor goes around our lawn, riding on the hose, following the course we have laid out for it! It does all the work, not us! I mean, we can lay out the hose in a “S” shape, and the sprinkler will follow it.

Adjustable aluminium spray arms provide coverage width from 4.5m to 16.5m (dependent on water pressure and hose diameter). Unlike stationary sprinklers, these traveling models can water either small or large yards without your needing to keep manually moving them to cover all of your grass evenly. In today’s update, we moved the Orbit 58322 into a more prominent spot, thanks to its rustproof cast iron body, easily adjustable speed settings, and convenient automatic shutoff capability. It’s a cinch to adjust the spray diameter by twisting each spray arm up or down, accordingly. You can set up the included ramp in any spot along the hose path to trigger a lever to stop it from proceeding, so you won’t need to worry about being outside to shut it off when it’s done watering. We’re also still partial to the Nelson RainTrain, which features a cheery yellow color that’s easy to spot, and features a powder-coated exterior that resists chipping and other damage. Similar to the Orbit model, you can turn the arms to set the spray diameter. You can buy it with confidence, thanks to its lifetime warranty. The Watex WX044 still holds a prominent spot on the list, as well. This one is good for use with large yards, since it can traverse a 200-foot hose path and cover an area up to almost 12,000 square feet. Many users appreciate the cosmetic steering wheel and exhaust pipe that make it resemble a real tractor. It 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. 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 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

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 Pressure The Nelson Water Tractor is equipped with 3 speed settings - High (HI), Low (LO, and Neutral (N) allowing you to apply either a light watering, a heavy watering, or when in neutral as a static sprinkler, a slow soak of a particular area. 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 Saves Water - with its even, controlled distribution, the Water Tractor will ensure that your garden receives the required watering and not the patchy and unnecessary saturation of the flower beds, lawns and vegetable gardens. If you want the Rain Train to travel at a higher speed, it will help to use a lightweight hose. Also, some advised to keep the hose length to about 50″ maximum. Otherwise the weight of the hose overloads the pressure of the water and the sprinkler will stall.Traveling Reel Sprinkler This retractable sprinkler helps make an easy job of irrigating pastures, sports fields, golf courses, parks, and cemeteries.
