Idrofoglia Turbocar Extreme IG5 Hydraulic Drive Hard Hose Irrigators

Overview

The Turbocar Extreme IG5 by Idrofoglia represents the pinnacle of hydraulic drive hard hose irrigator technology for large-scale agricultural operations. Manufactured in Italy, this professional-grade irrigation system combines robust engineering with advanced mechanical features to deliver reliable performance across extensive field areas. Designed for demanding farming environments, the IG5 excels at irrigating large crops, pastures, and agricultural lands where precision water distribution and operational efficiency are paramount.

What distinguishes the Turbocar Extreme IG5 from conventional hard hose irrigators is its sophisticated 4-speed mechanical gearbox system with drive disengagement capability, paired with a comprehensive hydraulic wheel lift system that ensures exceptional maneuverability even on challenging, uneven terrain. The flanged turbine mounted on the gearbox provides precise speed control and compensation, whilst the enhanced structural design delivers superior stability during operation. With hose configurations ranging from 125 mm to 160 mm in diameter and lengths extending up to 800 metres, this high-end model accommodates diverse irrigation requirements for professional agricultural enterprises seeking maximum coverage and efficiency.

Key Features & Benefits

• 4-Speed Mechanical Gearbox with Drive Disengagement: Provides precise control over retrieval speed and allows for flexible operation including PTO-driven rewinding and out-of-drum rewinding capabilities, optimizing efficiency across different irrigation scenarios.
• Comprehensive Hydraulic Control System: Five dedicated control levers manage rotation, left and right wheel lift, jack positioning, trolley lift, and staker leg adjustment, enabling operators to navigate uneven terrain with ease whilst maintaining optimal irrigation positioning.
• Flanged Turbine with Speed Control and Compensator: Ensures consistent retrieval speeds regardless of pressure variations, delivering uniform water application throughout the irrigation cycle for improved crop outcomes.
• Enhanced Structural Stability: Painted frame and reinforced mechanical components finished in RAL 5017 provide exceptional durability and weather resistance, ensuring reliable long-term performance in demanding agricultural environments.
• Leadscrew Hose Layering Device: Automatically guides the hose onto the reel in perfect alignment, preventing tangling and extending hose life whilst reducing operator workload during retrieval.
• Adjustable 2-Wheel Sprinkler Trolley: Variable track width accommodates different row spacings and field conditions, whilst the hydraulic lift system allows for rapid field transitions and transport positioning.
• Double Water Inlet Configuration: Provides operational flexibility for various water source connections and facilitates efficient setup in different field layouts without requiring additional adapters.
• Digital Hour Meter: Tracks machine operating time for accurate maintenance scheduling and performance monitoring, helping operators maximize equipment lifespan and plan service intervals effectively.
• Height-Adjustable Drawbar: Ensures compatibility with diverse tractor hitch configurations and allows optimal positioning for stable transport and efficient power transfer during operation.
• Quick Coupling Hydraulic Connections: Streamlines tractor attachment and detachment processes, reducing setup time and enabling operators to maximize productive irrigation hours across multiple field locations.
