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.

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 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!

Some Tips for operating Tractor Sprinklers

My traveling sprinkler is not a rain train, but is very similar, including in its faults. It covers large areas very nicely and evenly, but fails to stop of make turns very well. I have found some work arounds that help.

For making turns, I put hose guides into the ground (3 for a 90 degree turn). These are the inexpensive hose guides that have a stake on the bottom and a reel on top. They catch the hose and keep it pulling strait behind the sprinkler so it doesn't topple. Space them evenly through a wide turn, at the same level as the hose.

For stopping I tossed the stoppers that came with the sprinkler. They don't stop it and more oven derail it. Instead I use a water timer. Also cheap, it does a much better job of stopping the traveling sprinkler, (with a little practice.)

With these work arounds, my sprinkler is a very useful tool.
