Product Information

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 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. The Nelson Raintrain boasts a cast iron frame and comes with comes loaded with large durable wheels, wheels that are outfitted with menacing spikes. These spikes will make it able to tread over most small obstacles, uninterrupted. 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.

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.

Customer reviews

For watering in a diamater of 15 feet, make sure the aluminum arms are are facing slightly downward. This is the typical setting for watering a narrow area of your lawn. 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. All our irrigators come built up and fully tested prior to delivery. So no assembly is required by the customer. Travelling Speed 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.

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 WaterThe Nelson Rain Train is a water tractor style travelling sprinkler which provides an ideal alternative to installing full irrigation systems.

Nelson 1865 Raintrain Traveling Sprinkler

chevron-circle-right What is the difference between the Nelson 1865 and the 50970 Nelson traveling sprinkler? The 1865 has automatic shut off valve and ramp that hooks on the hose where you want it to stop, the 50970 just travels down the hose. Excellent approach to watering large areas. Works great with good water pressure and has a huge spread. Mine is watering a 10M circle as it slowly traverses the laid out pipe. Variables This watering train, (it looks more like a tractor to me), has a two speed transmission – low and high. It also has a neutral position for stationary watering. 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.

The Nelson Water Train is not recommended for a 19mm (¾ Inch) hose unless it is in short runs as the extra weight of hose pipe and water within it can damage the internal gear box. Recommended Fitting - Snap-On Type Connector 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 Feetchevron-circle-right What is the smallest turn radius the tractor can handle?
