Idrofoglia Turbocar Active G4 Turbine Drive Hard Hose Irrigators

Overview

The Turbocar Active G4 is a professional turbine-drive hard hose irrigator manufactured by Idrofoglia, Italy, engineered specifically for large-scale agricultural irrigation operations. This heavy-duty reel irrigator accommodates hoses up to 480 meters in length across multiple diameter options from 90 mm to 120 mm, making it an ideal solution for extensive field coverage. The machine features a fully rotating 360° turret, four-speed gearbox with automatic drive disengagement, and a three-wheel sprinkler trolley with adjustable track width for optimal stability across varied terrain.

What distinguishes the G4 model within the Turbocar Active range is its exceptional capacity-to-stability ratio, achieved through an advanced galvanized and painted chassis construction combined with precision-engineered mechanical components finished in RAL 5017. The hydraulic lift system operated through manual pump technology allows for independent control of both trolley positioning and staker leg deployment, while the flanged turbine drive system with integrated speed control and compensator ensures consistent performance even under varying water pressure conditions. The leadscrew hose layering mechanism provides uniform hose winding, extending equipment lifespan and reducing maintenance requirements for commercial farming operations.

Key Features & Benefits

360° Rotating Turret: Enables complete directional flexibility for optimized field coverage patterns without repositioning the entire machine, significantly reducing setup time between irrigation cycles.
Four-Speed Gearbox with Automatic Disengagement: Provides precise control over irrigation speed to match crop requirements and soil infiltration rates, with automatic drive disengagement protecting mechanical components during operation.
Hydraulic Lift System with Manual Pump: Allows independent operation of trolley lift and staker leg positioning without external power requirements, ensuring stability on uneven terrain and during transport.
Flanged Turbine with Speed Control and Compensator: Maintains consistent retrieval speed regardless of water pressure fluctuations, ensuring uniform water application across the entire irrigation run.
Leadscrew Hose Layering Device: Automatically guides hose onto the drum in uniform layers, preventing tangling and extending hose service life while reducing operator intervention.
Three-Wheel Sprinkler Trolley with Adjustable Track: Provides exceptional stability during irrigation while allowing track width adjustment to accommodate different row spacings and field conditions.
PTO Rewinding Capability: Enables rapid hose retrieval through tractor power take-off connection, dramatically reducing turnaround time between irrigation sets for commercial operations.
Double Water Inlet Configuration: Offers operational flexibility for different hydrant positions and connection scenarios, simplifying field logistics and reducing setup complexity.
Galvanized Frame with Painted Reel Construction: Combines corrosion-resistant galvanized structural components with durable painted surfaces for long-term reliability in harsh agricultural environments.
Height-Adjustable Drawbar with Mechanical Jack: Facilitates connection to various tractor hitch heights while providing stable support during stationary operation and field positioning.
