Idrofoglia Turbocar Jolly J2 Turbine Drive Hard Hose Irrigators

Overview

The Turbocar Jolly J2 is a turbine-driven hard hose irrigator manufactured by Idrofoglia, Italy, engineered specifically for horticulture operations and medium-to-small-sized agricultural fields. This travelling irrigation system combines a robust hot-dip galvanized frame with a versatile two-wheel cart design, delivering reliable performance through its single-speed gearbox and worm screw hose layering mechanism. Available in two hose configurations ranging from 50 to 63 mm diameter and covering up to 150 metres, the J2 is supplied complete with sectoring sprinklers, adjustable track width, and all essential accessories for immediate deployment.

What distinguishes the Turbocar Jolly J2 from entry-level models is its enhanced operational flexibility, featuring a folding drawbar with caster wheel for improved manoeuvrability and an adjustable irrigation reel cart that adapts to varying field conditions. The automatic disengagement system with rewind device enables off-profile harvesting operations, whilst the integrated speed regulator and compensator ensure consistent water application rates across the irrigated area. The combination of hot-dip galvanized structural components and painted mechanical elements provides superior corrosion resistance, making this model ideal for farms prioritising simplicity, durability, and practical day-to-day operation.

Key Features & Benefits

• Hot-Dip Galvanized Frame and Cart: Superior corrosion protection extends equipment lifespan significantly, particularly in humid agricultural environments and when using fertiliser-laden irrigation water.
• Folding Drawbar with Caster Wheel: Enhances transport flexibility and storage efficiency, allowing the irrigator to navigate tight spaces and be stored compactly when not in use, reducing yard space requirements.
• Single-Speed Gearbox with Automatic Disengagement: Simplifies operation whilst protecting the drive system from damage, automatically disconnecting when the hose reaches full extension to prevent mechanical stress and operator error.
• Rewind Device for Off-Profile Harvesting: Enables irrigation operations to continue even when crops have been partially harvested, maximising field utilisation and irrigation scheduling flexibility throughout the growing season.
• Worm Screw Hose Layering System: Ensures uniform hose winding across the reel drum, preventing tangling and overlapping that can cause premature hose wear and operational interruptions during deployment.
• Adjustable Track Width Two-Wheel Cart: Adapts to different row spacings and field configurations, whilst the automatic loading feature reduces manual handling requirements and speeds up repositioning between irrigation sets.
• Integrated Speed Regulator and Compensator: Maintains consistent travel speed regardless of terrain variations or pressure fluctuations, ensuring uniform water application depth across the entire irrigated strip.
• Flanged Turbine on Gearbox: Provides reliable water-powered drive without electrical connections, eliminating power supply requirements in remote fields whilst delivering consistent performance across varying water pressures.
• Complete Turnkey System: Supplied with sectoring sprinkler, nozzle set, supply hose with fittings, support feet, and comprehensive documentation, enabling immediate commissioning without additional component purchases.

Ideal Applications

• Horticultural Production: Particularly suited to vegetable farms, berry operations, and nurseries requiring precise water application across uniform field sections with minimal labour input.
• Small to Medium Field Parcels: Optimised for properties between 2 and 10 hectares where the 100-150 metre hose reach provides efficient coverage without excessive equipment investment.
• Mixed Cropping Operations: The adjustable cart track width and off-profile harvesting capability make this ideal for farms growing multiple crop types with varying row spacings and staggered harvest schedules.
• Supplemental Irrigation Systems: Serves as an effective backup or supplemental system to centre pivots or permanent installations, providing irrigation flexibility during peak demand periods or system maintenance.
• Organic and Sustainable Farms: The water-powered turbine drive requires no external energy source, aligning with sustainability objectives whilst maintaining reliable irrigation performance in remote field locations.
• Contract Irrigation Services: The folding drawbar and compact transport profile enable efficient movement between client properties, whilst the simple operation reduces training requirements for seasonal operators.
