Product Information
Watering your lawn can be fun with this traveling lawn sprinkler tractor. The Nelson lawn watering device is made from rust-proof cast iron. 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. It has adjustable spray patterns and arcs, and it has a convenient automatic shutoff, so no tools are required for installation.Product Identifiers

Rain Train
These are great BUT......they have INTENTIONALLY, at Gilmour, made the main internal gear PLASTIC/NYLON that drives the rear wheels. This means that if this sprinkler runs into an obstruction for a short period of time IT WILL strip that gear. So why doesn't Gilmour make the gear metal? Answer, why should they put a metal gear in it when dummies like me know this and keep buying them anyway! The best alternative solution? ALWAYS and I mean ALWAYS use the water shut off ramp that comes with the unit. Also don't expect it to do more than 75 feet and you should get consistent service over the long haul. The longer the hose run the greater the possibility of it jumping the hose and running into something not intended. It is a hearty piece of lawn equipment EXCEPT FOR THAT DAMN GEAR!!!!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Solid but Slow
If you envision this model tractor sprinkler is just like the ones in use many years ago, you're going to be disappointed. The newer tractor sprinklers, like this one, no longer have metal wheels and weigh a country ton. That said, this is a solid tractor sprinkler, with the same, familiar cast iron body, and it works. But even on "fast" mode, it's terribly slow, and limited in its sprinkler pattern and options. If you need this sprinkler for a long patch of grass, it might just do the trick for you. If you hope it will eliminate your need to hand water trees or give your garden a good soaking, you'll be disappointed. It's a decent, solid sprinkler, just keep your expectations low.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Second to none
So far so good, great color great price. This tractor will pull a 100 foot hose full of water with no problem. I got tired of dragging the hose myself, and now my Nelson tractor does it with ease and turns off at the shutoff attachment. It waters great and easy adjustment by rotating arms. Plain and simple it is great, just like the old ad, SET IT AND FORGET IT. If you see one in a yard spraying, just ask them and I bet they love it. Oh yea it curves around and follows the hose.

Excellent product! Not cheaply made. High quality.
I had a very old Nelson Raintrain. It was old and worn out. Pretty must lost all the treads on the wheels but I kept using it. Then it blew the big gasket and just wouldn't go anymore. I was panicking like oh my tractor sprinkler has officially died.. I took a chance thinking oh this new one will not be as heavy duty as my antique one. I was wrong! It is awesome. I am more than happy with this purchase! Thank you!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

"Have water, will travel..."
There's nothing new about the Nelson travelling sprinkler. It has been around for over 70 years. Ingenious simplicity. It travels along the hose, gets to the end of the pattern you have laid out, and rides up a stop ramp that shuts it off automatically--so you waste no water. It is the best way to make certain that every corner of your lawn is thoroughly watered. It literally is a tractor! Looks like a 19th century tractor with their solid wheels with tines. More people with fine lawns use these and some people prefer them to in ground systems which are prone to breakdown and broken pipes. I think a Nelson Rain Train sprinkler is the finest product available for watering your lawn and I highly recommend it.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Great time saver in larger yards
Inherited one of these sprinkler tractors many many years ago and it finally broke, found they still sell them and purchased a new one, it looks just like the one I had and works great. 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!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Great Travelling Sprinkler
If your yard needs this type of sprinkler, you know it. I like being able to set it up, let it run, and it shuts itself off when finished.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Solid, functional tool
Easy and quick to set up, very heavy (which portends long life) and does the job of following the path of your hose while you do other chores. Two things require your vigilance: make sure the hose is free and can “follow” behind the sprinkler as it moves down the path you have set for it, and make sure the ground is sufficiently flat that the sprinkler doesn’t “tip over” in which case it will over water in that certain area. There are also a couple instructions to pay attention to: right before you turn on the water be sure and “pop out” the plug on the underside of the sprinkler (it looks kind of like those pop out thermometers on the turkey), and be sure you put the sprinkler gear in to the correct of three possible positions: fast, slow or neutral. Pull up on the gear knob to move from one gear to the next. I found that the faster setting is still pretty slow and appropriate for most of my watering needs.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
