About this deal

Rear view with a 19mm (¾ inch) male threaded Snap-On style connector fitted into the brass screw connector. Additionally make sure your User-Agent is not empty and is something unique and descriptive and try again. The sprinkler is propelled along the ground by the water pressure and follows the pattern laid by the hose. There are two large wheels in the back, with cleats that dig into the lawn and moves the system along.

This product is very good, except it is NOT supplied with the correct connection for ordinary hoses. This travelling sprinkler is an extremely cost effective and easy to operate turf irrigation solution. 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. I had to find a correct adaptor It would have been much easier if a adaptor was supplied, or I was advised I would need one ! In this picture a 19mm (3/4 Inch) male threaded GEKA style Claw-Lock coupling is shown screwed into the rear of the gear box.

Love being able to set the sprinkler and have it shut off when it gets done without me having to be there to babysit it! If you envision this model tractor sprinkler is just like the ones in use many years ago, you're going to be disappointed. It is important that this arrangement is screwed up tightly to the point where the sideways movement is eliminated. The Rain Train Travelling Sprinkler is a fantastic little product that is cost effective but easy to setup and operate. they have INTENTIONALLY, at Gilmour, made the main internal gear PLASTIC/NYLON that drives the rear wheels.

The Nelson Rain Train® travelling garden sprinkler is ideal if you need to water a large area of ground. To overcome this situation then a pack washer made of either nylon (pictured above) or rubber should be used behind the GEKA style Claw-Lock coupling. Follows along the path of the hose propelling itself along the ground following the pattern laid by the hose. The longer the hose run the greater the possibility of it jumping the hose and running into something not intended.Position the front wheel of the Nelson Rain Train at the end of the run of hose pipe, with the sprinkler facing back towards the tap. Travelling Sprinklers are the perfect solution for schools and businesses which have multiple fields or facilities to water and maintain. Easy handling and setting up● Very efficiency patented turbine drive mechanism● Max irrigation width 38m with cable length 135m will cover up to173m watered length. The hose can be up to 200 feet long, with the Rain Train at one end, and the shut-off ramp at the other. Use a hose to preset the tractor's course just like you would lay track for an electric toy train, and the tractor will travel along this track as it waters your lawn.

The Nelson travelling lawn sprinkler features a powerful two-speed transmission for high and low speeds.Once a gear is selected and the water is turned on the sprinkler will follow the hose pipe back towards the tap. When using a GEKA style Claw-Lock coupling it is likely that the depth of the thread will not be sufficient to eliminate the sideways movement in the brass screw connector attached to the plastic gear box.

This is a great bit of kit solving a real problem of having to constantly move your sprinkler to water the garden. I think a Nelson Rain Train sprinkler is the finest product available for watering your lawn and I highly recommend it. I got tired of dragging the hose myself, and now my Nelson tractor does it with ease and turns off at the shutoff attachment.Variables This watering train, (it looks more like a tractor to me), has a two speed transmission – low and high. 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. You can forget running around moving sprinklers all day and night by letting this little tractor do it for you! Ideal for lawns, cricket pitches, bowling greens and other areas in need of precise automated watering where an automatic stop function is required. That said it needs a good pressure and I have sometime found it stalled in position when the pressure gets too low, so I don't quite have full confidence to set it and go on its own without periodic checks.
