We need 200' of hose to water our entire lawn and it works perfectly. For those that have issues with it going backwards, you have the watering wands pointed in the wrong direction so they are pushing it backwards. Easy fix...just adjust those wands. Our lawn has numerous corners and little hills, yet this has no problems going up, down and around them. I almost spent $4,000 on an irrigation system but luckily the guy didn't show up on time. My son-in-law recommended this and helped me set it up. Very easy to do. I believe it would struggle pulling a heavy normal hose. I bought a Zero-G hose that is extremely lightweight and flexible so this Nelson Rain Train has no issues dragging it behind...all 200 feet of Zero G hose. I love it. It doesn't leak and is simple to adjust to size of lawn. Only have had it for several days now so will update on durability as summer arrives and I use it more often. I would highly recommend, especially with the Zero-G hose.

Der Regner ist optimal. Da er aber ein amerikanisches Produkt ist, hat die Lieferung sehr lange gedauert.

Me encanto! Estoy feliz con mi compra! Es pesado y muy bueno para regar!

I now own two of these.Let me tell you a little bit about my sprinkler journey over the last few years. My yard is fairly small. I figured it would be fairly easy to grow and maintain a lawn in such a small area. I had no idea how difficult it would be to water.After trying just about every sprinkler design on the market with less-than-satisfactory results, I was still hesitant to buy this because what I was expecting out of it was somewhat ridiculous for something so heavy duty.My backyard is the larger area, so I bought one for the backyard first. My backyard area to be watered is about 40x15.. It's not a huge area, but it does have a slight L to it, which means that it was tough to water. Not so for the Nelson Rain Train. It takes that corner like a pro, and it delivers water into all of the nooks and crannies better than any other sprinkler in existance.So I decided to try it in the front yard. Now let me explain how ridiculous this is. My front yard is about 8X20. It has walls on two sides that I don't like spraying excess water on due to the water stains it leaves behind, and that corner is a beast to get water to. Rain Train to the rescue! Seriously, in order to adequately water my front yard, this thing has to ravel about six feet. I actually let it run a bit more than that to make sure I get that corner good and wet. I still spray a lot of water on the walls, but it's down about a foot above ground level, so it doesn't get on any of the windows or fixtures.The major advantage of this sprinkler is that it offers the ultimate in adjustability. The moving circular spray provides the ultimate in consistency as well. That's a major problem with most sprinklers.It also seems very solid and sturdy in its construction. Yes, there are plastic parts on the motor, but it's protected form the sun by a pretty thick shell of brightly colored cast iron. It has a bit of heft to it as a result, but the weight is important because it helps the wheels gain traction.There are a few cautions with this sprinkler, though. For starters, you want to make sure that you have good vegetation on the ground that the sprinkler will be traversing. It's not good to have the sprinkler sitting and spinning in a single mud spot, as that could seriously flood part of your lawn. Also, make sure that if you use the shut off ramp, you follow a couple of important protocol. Make sure you anchor the ramp with the provided spike. If you don't, I find that the tractor just moves the ramp. Also, make sure that the ramp has a good foot and a half of perfectly straight hose on both sides. If the hose is curved leading into the ramp, I've found that it's pretty easy for the front wheel to jump the ramp, and now you have a runaway tractor. If you put a curve immediately after the ramp, the tractor might not be centered well enough to activate the shutoff valve.Also, be careful with water pressure if you decide to point the spray arms slightly downward to decrease distance. If you put a high water pressure into a spinning apparatus like that, you end up with something that falls just short of a pressure washer. You can scalp your lawn this way.Final assessment is that not only is this a solid buy. It is absolutely the best sprinkler money can buy. I was actually planning on buying a different brand for my second one to see if I could compare them, but when I saw that the prices were so close, I decided to go with the gold standard.I've also talked a friend into buying one. He has a fairly large yard for his dogs, and he has to go out and move his sprinkler three times to get the whole yard. There goes his morning. Now, he just sets it and forgets it...Though you will want to check on it periodically just in case. But if you carefully plan the route, which will become second nature after a while, I find that the possibility of the train derailing are quite low.

Super schnelle Lieferung..trotz aus den USA.Tolles solides Produkt!Ich brauche keinen anderen Regner mehr.

Super Sprinkler erleichtert die Gartenpflege.

Raintrain können wir jedem Gartenbesitzer nur empfehlen, kein lästiges hin und hersetzen des Rasensprengers mehr...sollte auch in Deutschland zu erwerben sein...

Alles super geklappt

man muss sich zwar für den wasseranschluss einen adapter bauen, geka oder was anderes, aber das gerät an sich is top. sehr schwer damit der den schlauch mitzieht, aber alles in allem einfach top und mehr als sein geld wert

What a brilliant piece of kit. Over the years I have used every different type of sprinkler and nothing matches this amazing sprinkler. Before buying, I read all the reports and could find no negative feedback, apart the those that whinged about the hose connector. How are the suppliers supposed to know what your hose connections are ? The sprinkler far exceeds my expectations as I watch it very slowly make its way across the lawn with an enormous spread of water. The Amazon price is the best I could find and it arrived in 6 days from USA........INCREDIBLE !!!If you are looking for a sprinkler that really works and that covers a large area, don't hesitate, BUY ONE.

This is the second Nelson Raintrain, I also have a John Deere walking sprinkler. Line out your pattern in the hose turn on the water and mostly forget. I do have a large yard and run more hose than recommended so every 2-4 hours just pull up the hose so it is not dragging as much weight. I had a fresh seed bed this year, it can be used on the packed seed bed but do expect it to get stuck and dig in if it is pulling too much hose or doing corners. Parts are easier to find for this make and model than other walking sprinklers and have used Nelson parts (with some modification) to repair my John Deere sprinkler.
