Water sprinklers are a necessity in many areas of the world to keep crops, plants, and grass healthy and looking nice. Some of the modern day water sprinklers that we are used to have been around for about a hundred years. Tractor lawn sprinklers were one of the first designed sprinkler heads to become popular.
Tractor lawn sprinklers are old-fashioned water sprinklers that were made of cast iron. Tractor lawn sprinklers are viewed as an antique and now sold to collectors at auctions. The prices for an antique tractor lawn sprinkler are from anywhere from $50-$500. Now, of course you would not use the tractor lawn sprinkler as a water sprinkler at that price! It's just something you could place out with other antiques for people to look at.
Tractor lawn sprinklers connected to standard hoses and propelled themselves around your lawn, working off the water pressure. They just follow along the hose path. The water arms look similar to helicopter blades and rotate in the same fashion.
Nelson still makes a tractor lawn sprinkler that is priced at about $100. If you happen to enjoy watering hand watering you yard, you might enjoy watching a tractor lawn sprinkler performs its' magic.
Wishing you a happier, and care-free lawn care experience,
