Idrofoglia Turbocar Active G6 Turbine Drive Hard Hose Irrigators

Overview

The Turbocar Active G6 from Idrofoglia represents the pinnacle of hard hose turbine irrigator engineering, designed to deliver professional-grade irrigation across expansive agricultural operations. This Italian-manufactured machine combines exceptional hose capacity—up to 680 metres (2,231 feet)—with a sophisticated 360° rotating turret system, enabling complete coverage flexibility for very large surfaces and demanding working conditions. Built on a galvanised and powder-coated frame, the G6 integrates advanced mechanical systems with user-focused design to provide uniform water distribution and excellent field maneuverability.

What distinguishes the Turbocar Active G6 as Idrofoglia's flagship hard hose reel irrigator is its comprehensive four-speed gearbox with automatic drive disengagement, flanged turbine with integrated speed control and compensator, and hydraulic lift operations controlled through a manual pump system. The machine features a precision leadscrew hose layering device that ensures consistent winding, while the three-wheel sprinkler trolley with adjustable track provides stability across varied terrain. With dual water inlet capability and compatibility with high-performance Reflex, Twin 160, Explorer, and Twin 202 rainguns, the G6 delivers the reliability and performance required for intensive commercial irrigation operations.

Key Features & Benefits

• 360° Rotating Turret: Enables complete directional flexibility for irrigation coverage, allowing operators to adapt to field shapes and obstacles without repositioning the entire machine, maximising efficiency on large properties.
• Four-Speed Gearbox with Automatic Disengagement: Provides precise control over retrieval speed to match varying flow rates and soil infiltration needs, while automatic drive disengagement protects mechanical components and allows safe manual operation when required.
• Flanged Turbine with Speed Control and Compensator: Ensures consistent retrieval speed regardless of pressure fluctuations, delivering uniform water application throughout the entire irrigation run for improved crop uniformity and reduced runoff.
• Hydraulic Lift System with Manual Pump: Facilitates easy trolley lifting and stabiliser leg deployment without requiring external power sources, enhancing operational convenience and reducing setup time in the field.
• Leadscrew Hose Layering Device: Automatically guides hose onto the drum in neat, uniform layers, preventing tangling and uneven winding that can damage hoses and compromise longevity, reducing maintenance costs over the machine's lifespan.
• Three-Wheel Adjustable Track Trolley: Provides exceptional stability and adaptability across uneven terrain and varying row spacings, with adjustable track width accommodating different crop configurations while maintaining straight irrigation paths.
• Dual Water Inlet Configuration: Offers operational flexibility by allowing connection from either side of the machine, simplifying field positioning and reducing the need for additional supply hose runs in complex field layouts.
• PTO-Driven Rewinding Capability: Allows rapid hose retrieval using tractor power when time is critical, significantly reducing labour hours during peak season operations while maintaining the option for standard turbine-driven retrieval.
• Height-Adjustable Drawbar with Mechanical Jack: Ensures compatibility with various tractor hitch heights and simplifies coupling operations, while lateral stabiliser legs provide secure anchoring during operation to prevent machine movement.
• Galvanised Frame with RAL 5017 Painted Components: Combines corrosion-resistant galvanisation with durable powder coating on mechanical parts, delivering exceptional weather resistance and extended service life in harsh agricultural environments.

Ideal Applications

• Large-Scale Row Crop Production: Ideal for expansive maize, soybean, cotton, and vegetable operations where irrigation runs exceed 300 metres and uniform water distribution is critical for consistent yields across vast acreages.
• Fodder and Pasture Irrigation: Excellent for extensive grazing operations and hay production where the machine's long hose capacity and 360° turret enable efficient coverage of irregular field shapes and rolling terrain.
• Orchard and Vineyard Under-Canopy Irrigation: Well-suited for established tree and vine crops where the adjustable track trolley can navigate between rows and the sectoring sprinkler provides controlled water application without damaging foliage.
• Commercial Vegetable Operations: Perfect for large-scale vegetable growers requiring precise irrigation scheduling across multiple fields, with the four-speed gearbox allowing adjustment of application rates to match different crop water requirements.
• Contract Irrigation Services: Designed for professional irrigation contractors managing multiple properties, where the machine's durability, dual inlet flexibility, and rapid PTO rewinding capability maximise daily productive capacity.
• Supplemental Irrigation in Semi-Arid Regions: Suited to operations in areas with variable rainfall where the extensive hose capacity allows irrigation of distant fields from central water sources, reducing infrastructure investment in permanent systems.
