Ferbo G SERIES Turbine Drive Hard Hose Irrigators

Overview

The Ferbo G Series represents a professional line of turbine-driven hard hose irrigators designed for efficient large-scale irrigation operations. Manufactured in Italy by Ferbo, these mobile irrigators feature a 360° turntable design that delivers exceptional coverage flexibility across diverse agricultural landscapes. With configuration options ranging from 50mm to 63mm hose diameters and lengths extending up to 240 metres, the G Series provides reliable water distribution for medium to large irrigation zones with minimal labour input.

What distinguishes the G Series is its intelligent gearbox system that varies by model complexity—single-speed operation on base G units, with advanced GA and GB models offering three-speed options for enhanced control over irrigation speed and application rates. The turbine drive mechanism harnesses water pressure to power the hose retrieval system, eliminating the need for external power sources while the compensator ensures consistent speed regardless of pressure fluctuations. Built on a galvanised and powder-coated frame with RAL 5021 painted mechanical components, these irrigators combine Italian engineering precision with robust construction suited to demanding agricultural environments.

Key Features & Benefits

360° Turntable Design: Enables complete rotational positioning for maximum field coverage flexibility, allowing operators to irrigate in any direction without repositioning the entire machine
Turbine Drive System with Compensator: Self-powered operation using water pressure eliminates electrical requirements while the speed compensator maintains consistent retrieval rates despite pressure variations, ensuring uniform water application
Multi-Speed Gearbox Options: Single-speed configuration on G models provides simplicity, while GA and GB variants offer three-speed selection for precise control over irrigation speed to match soil infiltration rates and crop requirements
Automatic Drive Disengagement: Protects the gearbox and turbine from damage when the hose reaches full retrieval, extending component lifespan and reducing maintenance needs
PTO Rewind Capability: Allows rapid hose retrieval using tractor power take-off when quick field transitions are required, significantly reducing setup time between irrigation cycles
Leadscrew Hose Layering Device: Ensures even, organised hose winding on the drum, preventing tangles and overlaps that could damage the hose or cause operational difficulties during deployment
Adjustable Track Sprinkler Trolley: Three-wheel configuration with variable track width adapts to different row spacing and field conditions, while mechanical lift operations simplify trolley positioning and staking
Corrosion-Resistant Construction: Galvanised frame combined with RAL 5021 painted mechanical parts provides superior protection against water exposure and agricultural chemicals, ensuring long-term durability
Height-Adjustable Drawbar System: Facilitates compatibility with various tractor hitch heights (on GA and GB models), while mechanical jack and lateral stabiliser legs ensure secure positioning during operation

Ideal Applications

Large-Scale Row Crops: Ideal for irrigating extensive maize, soybean, cotton, and vegetable production where consistent water application across long runs is essential for uniform crop development
Pasture and Forage Production: Efficiently waters grasslands and fodder crops with adjustable speed settings that match infiltration rates of different soil types while minimising runoff
Orchards and Vineyards: Suitable for under-canopy irrigation in tree and vine crops where the adjustable trolley track accommodates varied row spacing and the sectoring sprinkler prevents overwatering
Sports Turf and Recreational Facilities: Provides controlled irrigation for golf courses, athletic fields, and parks where the 360° turntable enables precise positioning for complete coverage
Contract Irrigation Services: The PTO rewind option and multiple gearbox speeds make this series highly efficient for professional irrigation contractors servicing multiple properties with varying requirements
