Ferbo GHs SERIES

Overview

The Ferbo GHs Series represents a premium line of turbine-driven hard hose irrigators engineered for professional agricultural operations requiring robust, mobile irrigation solutions. Manufactured in Italy by Ferbo, these sophisticated machines combine hydraulic wheel lift technology with a 360° turntable base, delivering exceptional manoeuvrability and operational flexibility across diverse terrain. With hose configurations ranging from 100-125 mm (3.94-4.92 in) in diameter and extending from 250-480 m (820-1575 ft) in length, the GHs Series is designed to efficiently irrigate large-scale agricultural holdings whilst maintaining precise water distribution control.

What distinguishes the GHs Series from conventional hard hose irrigators is its comprehensive hydraulic control system featuring five independent control levers for rotation, wheel lift, jack operation, trolley lift, and stabiliser legs, all managed through quick-connect clutches directly to the tractor. The turbine drive mechanism incorporates a flanged turbine mounted on a four-speed gearbox with integrated speed control and compensator, ensuring consistent retrieval speeds regardless of varying water pressures. The galvanised frame construction on GHs models, combined with RAL 5021 painted mechanical components and drum, provides exceptional durability against corrosive agricultural environments whilst the leadscrew hose layering device guarantees uniform hose winding for extended equipment lifespan.

Key Features & Benefits

• 360° Turntable Base with Hydraulic Wheel Lift: Enables complete rotational freedom for flexible field positioning and efficient navigation around obstacles, with hydraulic lifting capability allowing independent wheel height adjustment for stable operation on uneven terrain.
• Flanged Turbine with Four-Speed Gearbox: Provides precise retrieval speed control across four mechanical ranges with integrated speed compensator, ensuring consistent performance regardless of pressure fluctuations whilst the mechanical drive disengagement allows for PTO-powered rewinding and out-of-drum operation.
• Comprehensive Hydraulic Control System: Five dedicated control levers manage all critical functions—rotation, independent left and right wheel lift, jack operation, trolley lift, and stabiliser legs—through quick-connect clutches for seamless tractor integration and single-operator convenience.
• Leadscrew Hose Layering Device: Automatically guides hose onto the drum in precise, uniform layers, preventing bunching and tangling that can cause premature hose wear, significantly extending service life and reducing maintenance requirements.
• Adjustable Track Sprinkler Trolley: Two-wheel configuration with variable track width accommodates different crop row spacing and field conditions, whilst maintaining stable raingun positioning throughout the irrigation cycle for consistent water distribution.
• Galvanised Frame Construction: Premium hot-dip galvanisation on GHs models provides superior corrosion resistance in humid and chemically treated agricultural environments, ensuring decades of reliable service with minimal structural maintenance.
• Digital Hour Metre: Integrated electronic monitoring tracks cumulative operating time for proactive maintenance scheduling and accurate calculation of irrigation costs per hectare, supporting precision farm management practices.
• Dual Water Inlet System: Provides operational flexibility by accepting water supply from either side of the machine, simplifying field setup and allowing efficient connection to varied hydrant configurations without repositioning the entire unit.
• Height-Adjustable Drawbar with Stabiliser Legs: Ensures secure coupling to diverse tractor hitch heights whilst lateral stabiliser legs provide rigid anchoring during operation, preventing unwanted movement that could compromise irrigation uniformity.

Ideal Applications

• Large-Scale Arable Farming: Efficiently irrigates extensive cereal, maize, and oilseed crops across fields exceeding 50 hectares, with long hose configurations minimising hydrant relocations whilst maintaining uniform water distribution.
• Pasture and Fodder Production: Delivers reliable irrigation for grassland and lucerne operations where hydraulic wheel lift capability enables navigation across varied terrain whilst the 360° turntable accommodates irregular field boundaries.
• Vegetable Production: Supports commercial vegetable growing operations requiring flexible irrigation patterns with sectoring raingun capability allowing targeted watering whilst avoiding buildings, roads, and sensitive areas.
• Orchard and Vineyard Irrigation: Provides supplemental irrigation for permanent crops with adjustable track trolley accommodating varied row spacing and gentle water application preventing fruit damage or soil erosion.
• Mixed Agricultural Holdings: Ideal for diversified farms requiring a single versatile irrigation platform capable of servicing multiple crop types across varying field sizes and topographies throughout the growing season.
• Contract Irrigation Services: Robust construction, comprehensive hydraulic control, and multiple configuration options make the GHs Series suitable for professional irrigation contractors serving diverse client requirements with a single machine platform.
