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. The Nelson Rain Train water tractor sprinkler is most suitable for connecting to a 12.5mm (½ Inch) (inside diameter) hose pipe. The Nelson Raintrain travels along a line of hose that’s exceedingly longer than the distance traveled by other types of tractor sprinklers. You can plot a detailed path on one section of your lawn, or you can wrap the entire line of hose around your house, and cover multiple areas of your land. 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.

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 Nelson Raintrain won’t let you down, and displays a variety of show-stopping features that might prompt you to buy one as soon as you’ve read through this review! Travels along a 200-foot path 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. The path choice is endless and certainly helped by the supreme amount of distance covered by the Raintrain.

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.
