From the manufacturer

RainTrain Garden Sprinkler

Durable, Reliable Performance

The original traveling sprinkler, the Nelson Rain Train uses the power of water to navigate around the lawn following a customized hose path.

RainTrain Garden Sprinkler

Nelson Traveling Sprinkler RainTrain

RainTrain Garden Sprinkler

RainTrain Garden Sprinkler

Auto Shut-off

The auto shut-off ramp allows you to set up the sprinkler and walk away, preventing water waste.

Adjustable Spray Arms

When positioned correctly, the adjustable aluminum spray arms provide coverage ranging from 15-55 feet in diameter. To cover a narrower area, turn the arms slightly downward. For maximum coverage, turn the arms upward to an approximate 30 degree angle.

3 Settings For Speed

Three settings allow you to adjust the level of water saturation. Choose from high for faster traveling and less water, low for slower traveling and more spray, and neutral, where the sprinkler stays in one place and waters a specific area.

161 customers mention101 positive60 negative

Customers are mixed about the speed of the product. Some mention that the slow speed is perfect, while others say that it moves very slowly. The three-speed option works great, and the switch to choose fast or slow speed works well. However, some customers report that the sprinkler isn't spinning very quickly, and that one pass was not efficient.

"...on the water, the first thing I noticed was the sprinkler arms were spinning much faster than those on the orbit, even in high gear...." Read more

"...That’s not a good combination, spraying lots of water and moving slowly ends up with way more water, puddles and mud than I need...." Read more

"...There are two drive speed settings. I've always used the slow setting. This tractor lays down a LOT of water into the ground at the slow speed...." Read more

"...Things get pretty dry here in the central Texas heat. Slow speed is perfect!..." Read more

157 customers mention84 positive73 negative

Customers are mixed about the weight of the product. Some mention that the body is cast iron and very heavy, while others say that it looks like it is sturdy. The ramp is too light, and the sprinkler is heavy, making it difficult to move around the yard.

"...Out of the box I noticed the Raintrain is much heavier and sits higher off the lawn...." Read more

"Works well but sinks into the mud in bare spots because the sprinkler is heavy" Read more

"...The sprinkler housing is very heavy and feels strong and sturdy, made of cast iron...." Read more

"...The sprinkler is heavy so it didn't take much for it to get stuck in the mud...." Read more

Very good and easy to make better and faster
5 Stars
Very good and easy to make better and faster
Our water pressure is right about average. Nothing unusual about it. Out of the box this moves too slow and dumps out too much water. That’s not a good combination, spraying lots of water and moving slowly ends up with way more water, puddles and mud than I need. I'm using this on a new lawn so the ground is soft and the amount of water would cause mud puddles and problems. The sprinkler is heavy so it didn't take much for it to get stuck in the mud.I wanted this to move faster, use less water and not get stuck as easily. It turns out this wasn't that hard to do. Here's a few easy mods that work great for me.Photo #1 - Paint a dial on the wheel so you can see it turn. Otherwise it's almost impossible to see the wheels turn. Originally it took 215 seconds for the wheels to make one revolution.Photo #2 - Put a simple screw into nylon nozzle at the end of the arm. (Not too big so you can remove it if you want without damage.) This improves pressure which results in higher velocity out the other nozzle. The higher velocity means the water sprays further, the arms spin faster which causes the tractor to move faster.One nozzle blocked also means that it's not spraying as much water. It's not a 50% reduction but pretty close and instead of drenching the lawn it now gives it the solid watering I want.Originally it would take the wheel 215 seconds to make one rotation. That works out to 26 feet per hour. With one nozzle blocked it now takes 135 seconds for one wheel rotation which is a (screaming) 42 feet per hour. Moving faster and spraying less water works much better than the large puddles it used to leave behind.There's probably less torque than before since there's less water volume being pushed out than before. I haven't noticed a difference and it pulls the hose up a small hill in my yard as easily as before.Photo #3 - Better traction. I bought a set of replacement wheels and used a few drops of epoxy to attach them to the existing wheels. Now the wheels are twice their original width and can crawl through deeper muck. There are 10 spikes on each wheel so I put a few drops of epoxy on every other spike and glued them up together.Photo #4 - Now that it has monster truck tires it needs some sort of face to go with it. Painting flames on the side might make it go faster that’s a mod for a future date.
