Ferbo GDs SERIES

Overview

The Ferbo GDs SERIES represents a premium line of turbine drive hard hose irrigators engineered and manufactured in Italy for demanding agricultural applications. These mobile irrigators feature a 360° turntable design that delivers exceptional coverage flexibility, combining robust galvanized construction with advanced mechanical systems to provide reliable automated irrigation across large field areas. With hose configurations ranging from 250 to 480 metres and diameters from 100 to 125 mm, the GDs SERIES accommodates diverse field sizes and crop requirements while maintaining precise water distribution control.

What distinguishes the GDs SERIES from conventional hose reel irrigators is its sophisticated four-speed gearbox with automatic drive disengagement, flanged turbine system with speed control and compensator, and comprehensive hydraulic operations. The integrated leadscrew hose layering device ensures uniform hose winding, while the three-wheel sprinkler trolley with adjustable track adapts to varying field conditions and crop heights. The dual water inlet configuration and PTO-assisted rewinding capability make this series particularly valuable for operations requiring rapid repositioning and consistent irrigation performance across multiple field sections.

Key Features & Benefits

• 360° Turntable Design: Enables complete rotational flexibility for irrigation coverage without repositioning the main unit, maximising field efficiency and reducing setup time between irrigation cycles.
• Four-Speed Gearbox with Automatic Disengagement: Provides precise control over retrieval speed to match varying field conditions and crop water requirements, while automatic drive disengagement protects mechanical components from overload.
• Flanged Turbine with Speed Control and Compensator: Ensures consistent hose retrieval speed regardless of pressure fluctuations, delivering uniform water application rates throughout the irrigation pass.
• PTO Rewinding Capability: Allows rapid hose rewinding through power take-off connection when speed is prioritised, significantly reducing turnaround time between irrigation events.
• Leadscrew Hose Layering Device: Automatically guides the hose onto the drum in uniform layers, preventing tangling and extending hose service life while ensuring smooth deployment on subsequent irrigation runs.
• Hydraulic Lift Operations with Manual Pump: Facilitates trolley lifting and stabiliser leg deployment without external power sources, enabling precise positioning even in remote field locations.
• Adjustable Track Sprinkler Trolley: Three-wheel configuration with variable track width accommodates different row spacings and field contours, ensuring stable operation across diverse terrain.
• Double Water Inlet System: Provides operational flexibility for different water supply configurations and enables rapid connection changes without system modifications.
• Galvanized Frame with RAL 5021 Painted Mechanical Components: Combines corrosion-resistant galvanized construction with durable industrial coating on moving parts, ensuring long-term reliability in harsh agricultural environments.
• Height-Adjustable Drawbar with Mechanical Jack: Simplifies coupling to various tractor hitch heights and enables stable levelling on uneven ground through integrated jack and lateral stabiliser legs.
