Ferbo GE SERIES

Overview

The Ferbo GE Series represents a premium line of turbine-driven hard hose irrigators designed for large-scale agricultural irrigation operations. Manufactured in Italy, these mobile irrigation systems feature a sophisticated 360° turntable design that provides complete rotational flexibility for efficient field coverage. Each unit is built with a galvanized and painted frame, turbine-powered drive system, and a four-speed gearbox with automatic disengagement, making them ideal for farms requiring reliable, high-capacity irrigation across extensive acreage. The GE Series combines robust Italian engineering with practical features including adjustable sprinkler trolleys, hydraulic lifting operations, and versatile hose configurations ranging from 100mm to 140mm in diameter.

What distinguishes the GE Series from conventional hose reel irrigators is its comprehensive turbine drive system with flanged connection directly to the gearbox, incorporating both speed control and compensator mechanisms for precise water application. The four-speed gearbox offers exceptional versatility with automatic drive disengagement, PTO rewinding capability, and out-of-drum rewinding options that simplify operation in challenging field conditions. The leadscrew hose layering device ensures even hose winding, while the three-wheel sprinkler trolley with adjustable track width adapts to various crop rows and field layouts. With double water inlet configuration and drum rotation operable from the trolley lifting device, the GE Series delivers the operational flexibility and durability demanded by professional irrigation contractors and large farming enterprises.

Key Features & Benefits

• 360° Turntable Design: Provides complete rotational freedom for flexible positioning and maximum field coverage without repositioning the entire machine, reducing setup time and labour costs.
• Turbine Drive with Four-Speed Gearbox: Flanged turbine connected directly to the gearbox with speed control and compensator delivers consistent retrieval speed across varying water pressures, ensuring uniform water application from start to finish.
• Automatic Drive Disengagement System: Protects the gearbox and drive components from damage when the hose reaches full retraction, extending equipment lifespan and reducing maintenance requirements.
• PTO and Out-of-Drum Rewinding Capability: Offers multiple rewinding options including power take-off operation for rapid hose retrieval and out-of-drum rewinding when field conditions require alternative setup configurations.
• Leadscrew Hose Layering Device: Ensures precise, even hose winding on the drum to prevent tangling, kinking, and premature hose wear, maximizing hose service life and operational reliability.
• Hydraulic Lift Operations with Manual Pump: Enables easy trolley lifting and stabilizer leg deployment through hydraulic assistance, reducing physical effort during field setup and transport while improving stability during irrigation.
• Adjustable Track Sprinkler Trolley: Three-wheel configuration with variable track width adapts to different crop row spacings and field conditions, protecting crops while maintaining straight travel paths.
• Galvanized and Painted Frame Construction: Combines hot-dip galvanization with RAL 5021 painted mechanical components for superior corrosion resistance and extended equipment life, even in harsh agricultural environments.
• Double Water Inlet Configuration: Provides operational flexibility for connecting to multiple water sources or allowing simultaneous connection of supply and drainage lines without reconfiguration.
• Height-Adjustable Drawbar with Mechanical Jack: Ensures compatibility with various tractor hitch heights and facilitates easy coupling and decoupling, with lateral stabilizer legs providing secure positioning during operation.

Ideal Applications

• Large-Scale Field Crop Irrigation: Perfectly suited for irrigating extensive acreages of cereals, maize, soybeans, and other row crops where long hose reaches and consistent water application are essential for optimal yields.
• Pasture and Forage Production: Ideal for maintaining productive grasslands and hay fields, with adjustable track trolley minimizing turf damage while delivering uniform water distribution across irregular terrain.
• Vegetable Production: Supports commercial vegetable operations requiring flexible irrigation scheduling and precise water management, with multiple hose diameter options accommodating varying flow requirements throughout the growing season.
• Orchard and Vineyard Underspray Irrigation: Suitable for supplemental irrigation in permanent tree and vine crops where the adjustable trolley can navigate between rows and the sectoring sprinkler can target specific zones.
• Contract Irrigation Services: Built for professional irrigation contractors managing multiple farms, with the 360° turntable, multiple rewinding options, and durable construction ensuring reliable operation across diverse properties and soil conditions.
• Estate and Amenity Irrigation: Applicable for irrigating large estates, sports turf facilities, and recreational areas where reliable, high-capacity irrigation equipment is required for maintaining extensive landscaped areas.
