Ferbo GHB SERIES

Overview

The Ferbo GHB Series represents a premium line of turbine-driven hard hose irrigators designed for large-scale agricultural operations requiring reliable, high-capacity irrigation solutions. Manufactured in Italy by Ferbo, these mobile irrigators feature a 360° turntable with hydraulic wheel lift, combining robust construction with advanced hydraulic control systems. The GHB Series accommodates hose configurations ranging from 110mm to 150mm in diameter (4.33-5.91 inches) and lengths from 330 metres to 680 metres (1,083-2,231 feet), making them suitable for extensive field coverage with professional-grade performance.

What distinguishes the GHB Series is its comprehensive hydraulic integration with five-lever control system, four-speed gearbox with turbine drive, and painted construction using RAL 5021 finishing on both the reel and mechanical components. The flanged turbine features speed control and compensator technology for consistent rewinding performance, whilst the leadscrew hose layering device ensures proper hose management throughout operation. With digital hour metering, PTO rewinding capability, and adjustable-track sprinkler trolleys, these irrigators deliver the precision and durability demanded by commercial farming operations across varied terrain and crop types.

Key Features & Benefits

• 360° Hydraulic Turntable System: Provides complete rotational freedom for flexible field positioning and efficient lane changes without manual repositioning, whilst the hydraulic wheel lift system enables smooth transitions across uneven terrain and between irrigation zones.
• Five-Lever Hydraulic Control: Comprehensive tractor-connected hydraulic system with quick clutches controls rotation, independent right and left wheel lift, jack operation, trolley lift, and stabiliser legs—all from the tractor cab for enhanced operator efficiency and safety.
• Four-Speed Turbine Gearbox: Flanged turbine with integrated speed control and compensator delivers consistent rewinding performance across varying water pressures, whilst mechanical drive disengagement and PTO rewinding options provide operational versatility for different field conditions.
• Leadscrew Hose Layering: Precision hose management system ensures uniform winding across the drum, preventing tangles and extending hose lifespan whilst maintaining consistent retrieval speeds throughout the irrigation cycle.
• Professional Painted Construction: RAL 5021 painted finish on frame, reel, and mechanical components provides superior corrosion resistance compared to standard treatments, ensuring long-term durability in demanding agricultural environments.
• Adjustable-Track Sprinkler Trolley: Two-wheel trolley configuration with variable track width adapts to different row spacings and crop types, maintaining optimal sprinkler positioning for uniform water distribution patterns.
• Digital Hour Meter: Integrated monitoring provides accurate operational tracking for maintenance scheduling, cost analysis, and equipment management across multiple irrigation cycles and seasons.
• Dual Water Inlet System: Double inlet configuration with 4-metre supply hose and female ball joint connection offers installation flexibility and backup connection options for uninterrupted irrigation operations.
• Height-Adjustable Drawbar: Variable-height tractor connection with lateral stabiliser legs accommodates different tractor hitches and provides secure anchoring during high-pressure irrigation operations.
• Complete Sectoring Capability: Included sectoring sprinkler with nozzle set enables precise irrigation pattern control for field edges, irregular boundaries, and targeted watering applications.

Ideal Applications

• Large-Scale Row Crop Irrigation: Extended hose lengths up to 680 metres make the GHB Series ideal for irrigating expansive fields of maize, soybeans, cotton, and other row crops requiring consistent water distribution across long runs.
• Commercial Vegetable Production: Adjustable-track trolley and sectoring sprinkler capability provide precise water management for high-value vegetable crops with varying row spacings and targeted irrigation requirements.
• Pasture and Forage Management: 360° turntable and hydraulic positioning enable efficient irrigation of irregular pasture boundaries and multiple paddocks from strategic water connection points.
• Orchard and Permanent Crop Establishment: Lower hose diameter configurations with shorter lengths deliver controlled irrigation for establishing orchards, vineyards, and other permanent crops requiring careful water management during establishment phases.
• Contract Irrigation Services: Hydraulic quick-connect system and PTO rewinding options facilitate rapid deployment across multiple client properties, whilst digital hour metering supports accurate billing and equipment utilisation tracking.
• Undulating and Variable Terrain: Independent hydraulic wheel lift and stabiliser leg system maintain equipment stability and proper sprinkler positioning across rolling topography and changing field elevations.
