LR Nelson Raintrain Traveling Sprinkler #1865

This sprinkler was the best solution for my need to frequently water a newly-seeded lawn. It waters a 50+ ft. wide path where you lay out your hose. The only limit is how much hose it can drag behind it. When it reaches that limit, the wheels just dig into the dirt and the heavy sprinkler eventually shuts off it's water valve on the bottom.

This sprinkler works great. It has great coverage. The only thing I would change is the max speed. It does have a two speed gearbox, however high gear is still not very fast.

The Nelson Raintrain is by far the best sprinkler I've ever owned.
I recommend it to everyone, including friends and family.

I have a big yard and this was a wonderful sprinkler to place in the yard and let it wander slowly across watering as it goes.

This product is terrific!! I really don't get some of the reviews I've read recently. Some say it's heavy. Well, by design, it has to be. Some say it's difficult to use. Well, if you consider laying a hose across your yard difficult, then I guess it is. Look- this thing does EXACTLY what it says it does. You can adjust the spray pattern by adjusting the spray arms. You can control the speed. If you have enough hose, you can wrap it around your lawn and water every inch of grass. And the automatic stop-ramp works like a charm. I'm thrilled with mine! It's a lot cheaper than an in-ground sprinkler system, and just as effective. OK, it's a little more work, agreed, but it's worth it. Don't hesitate to buy this product. You won't regret it!
