Amazon.com Review:
While an automatic sprinkling system certainly ensures greener grass and nurtured flowerbeds during the sweltering days of summer, not every household comes equipped with such a system and they can be downright expensive to install. Historically, the alternative to the built-in sprinkler system has involved setting up a hose and sprinkler and then manually relocating the water source to several strategic locations every thirty minutes for several hours. Despite all the detail and time this manual system receives, the sprinkler never quite makes contact with certain patches. Likewise, swamping also occurs at times because homeowners generally have more important things to worry about than whether it is time to switch the sprinkler. Luckily, the folks at LR Nelson are employed to worry about finding comprehensive watering methods for busy homeowners who don't have the means, time, or desire to dig up the yard to install and intricate system of sprinkler pipes. Responsible for a bevy of creative lawn care solutions, the Peoria, Illinois outfit introduce this ingenious Raintrain traveling sprinkler.

With a rustproof cast iron construction, the sprinkler waters up to 13, 500 square feet, though covering a lesser area of 11,9000 square feet ensures more effective performance. The sprinkler arms adjust for varied spray patterns and arcs, throwing water from 15 to 56 feet. The sprinkler waters as it travels along a hose on a preset route, much like an electric model train, except with a hose as the rails. To water, the homeowner lays out the hose as desired, taking care to avoid dramatic corners or turnabouts that may result in hose kinks or a derailed sprinkler. A front wheel runs on the hose with the two traction-ready rear wheels bestride. The hose connects to the posterior of the sprinkler. For the best results, LR Nelson recommends a 5/8-inch hose, though a 1/2-inch hose may suffice, up to 200 feet in length. For sprinkling termination, the user places a shut-off ramp on the hose to lift the sprinkler off its "rails," while simultaneous stopping operation. The shut-off ramp should be installed with at least five feet of hose between it and the spigot. The traveling sprinkler operates at two motor speeds, high and low. On high power, the sprinkler travels approximately 37 feet per hour, with a 1/4-inch water application. On low power, the sprinkler moves at a 21 feet per hour rate with a 1/2-inch water application. The simple installation requires no tools. The sprinkler weighs 18.1 pounds upon shipping. --Jessica Reuling




Rating: - Great for lawn renovation.
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.

Rating: - Great gadget for the yard.
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.

Rating: - Best sprinkler ever

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.

Rating: - Nelson Rain Train 1865
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 ... Read More
