Ferbo GHD SERIES

Overview

The Ferbo GHD Series represents a premium line of turbine drive hard hose irrigators engineered for large-scale agricultural operations requiring reliable, high-capacity irrigation solutions. Manufactured in Italy by Ferbo, these mobile irrigators feature a 360° turntable design with hydraulic wheel lift capabilities, delivering exceptional versatility across diverse field configurations. With hose diameters ranging from 125mm to 160mm and lengths extending up to 750 metres, the GHD Series is built to cover substantial acreage with precision and efficiency.

What distinguishes the GHD Series is its sophisticated turbine drive system integrated with a flanged four-speed gearbox featuring speed control, compensator functionality, and mechanical drive disengagement for enhanced operational control. The hydraulic system incorporates quick clutches for rapid tractor connection, whilst five dedicated control levers manage rotation, independent wheel lift, jack operation, trolley positioning, and staker leg deployment. The leadscrew hose layering device ensures consistent hose management during retrieval, and the painted frame with RAL 5021 mechanical components provides superior corrosion resistance for extended service life in demanding agricultural environments.

Key Features & Benefits

• 360° Turntable with Hydraulic Wheel Lift: Provides complete rotational freedom and effortless repositioning, enabling efficient irrigation of irregularly shaped fields and reducing setup time between irrigation cycles.
• Flanged Turbine with Speed Control and Compensator: Delivers consistent retrieval speeds regardless of pressure variations, ensuring uniform water application and preventing hose damage through regulated tension control.
• Four-Speed Gearbox with Multiple Drive Modes: Offers precise speed selection for varying field conditions, with mechanical drive disengagement, PTO rewinding capability, and out-of-drum rewinding for maximum operational flexibility.
• Leadscrew Hose Layering Device: Automatically guides hose during retrieval to create uniform layers on the reel, preventing tangling and extending hose lifespan whilst ensuring smooth deployment for subsequent irrigation passes.
• Comprehensive Hydraulic Control System: Features quick-connect clutches and five independent control levers managing all hydraulic functions from the tractor, streamlining operation and reducing manual labour requirements.
• Adjustable Two-Wheel Sprinkler Trolley: Variable track width accommodates different crop row spacings and field conditions, whilst maintaining stability during irrigation and minimising crop damage.
• Double Water Inlet Configuration: Enhances operational versatility by accommodating multiple water sources or connection points, facilitating efficient field coverage planning and reducing repositioning frequency.
• Digital Hour Metre: Provides accurate service interval tracking and operational data for maintenance scheduling, helping operators optimise performance and extend equipment longevity.
• Protective RAL 5021 Paint System: Factory-applied coating on frame, reel, and mechanical components delivers superior weather resistance and corrosion protection for sustained performance in harsh agricultural environments.
• Adjustable Height Drawbar with Lateral Staker Legs: Ensures compatibility with various tractor hitch heights whilst providing stable anchoring during operation, preventing movement and maintaining irrigation accuracy.

Ideal Applications

• Large-Scale Field Crops: Ideal for irrigating extensive acreages of cereals, maize, soybeans, and other row crops requiring consistent water distribution across substantial distances.
• Pasture and Forage Management: Efficiently irrigates pastureland, alfalfa, and hay fields where coverage area and mobility between irrigation zones are critical operational requirements.
• Vegetable Production: Suitable for large commercial vegetable operations requiring uniform water application with adjustable trolley track widths to accommodate various row spacing configurations.
• Specialty Crops: Adaptable for irrigating orchards, vineyards, and permanent plantings where 360° turntable functionality enables efficient navigation around established crop layouts.
• Multi-Field Operations: Designed for farming enterprises managing multiple fields requiring frequent equipment relocation, with hydraulic controls facilitating rapid setup and breakdown.
• Irregular Field Configurations: Particularly effective in non-rectangular fields or challenging terrain where rotational flexibility and precise positioning capabilities optimise water coverage and minimise waste.
