Irrimec MASTER MF3 MP Motor-Pump Integrated Hard Hose Irrigators

Overview

The Irrimec MASTER MF3 MP is a diesel motor-pump integrated hard hose irrigator engineered to deliver self-contained irrigation directly from open water sources. Manufactured by Irrimec in Italy, this integrated pump hard hose irrigator carries its own diesel engine and centrifugal pump mounted on the same chassis as the hose reel, enabling operators to tow the entire unit to a channel, river, dam or bore and operate without reliance on existing mains or pressurised infrastructure.

The MASTER MF3 MP employs a turbine drive mechanism powered by the onboard pump's pressurised output, with the turbine flanged to a reduction gearbox that rewinds the hose reel at controlled speeds. This model is available in six hose diameter options ranging from 100 mm to 140 mm and lengths from 300 m to 630 m, providing operators with scalable configurations suited to large broadacre, forage and row crop irrigation from open water sources.

Key Features & Benefits

Integrated Diesel Engine and Pump: Eliminates the need for existing mains or bore pressure infrastructure, enabling operation directly from any accessible open water source.
Self-Contained Pressure Supply: The onboard pump draws and pressurises water at the machine's own inlet, delivering the flow required to drive the turbine and rewind the hose reel.
Turbine-Driven Hose Rewind: The pump's pressurised output powers a water turbine flanged to a reduction gearbox, providing reliable rewind torque with fine speed control via an adjustable by-pass valve.
Single-Chassis Mobility: Engine, pump, turbine, gearbox and hose reel are all mounted on one towable chassis, allowing rapid relocation between paddocks or water sources without disassembly.
Open Water Source Compatibility: Designed to draw directly from channels, rivers, dams and bores, making it ideal for remote or infrastructure-limited sites.
Wide Hose Configuration Range: Six hose diameters (100 mm to 140 mm) and lengths up to 630 m support diverse application rates, throw distances and field geometries.
Italian Engineering and Build Quality: Manufactured by Irrimec in Italy, ensuring robust construction, hot-dip galvanised chassis protection and long-term durability in demanding agricultural environments.
High Flow Rate Capacity: Engine and pump specifications are matched to support the high flow rates required for large-diameter hoses and rainguns operating at extended throw radii.

Integrated Pump & Turbine Drive Operation

The MASTER MF3 MP's onboard diesel engine drives a centrifugal pump that draws water directly from an open source—channel, river, dam or bore—and pressurises it at the machine's own inlet. This pressurised flow is then fed into a water turbine flanged to a reduction gearbox, which converts the turbine's rotational energy into the torque required to rewind the hose reel. An adjustable by-pass valve on the turbine circuit diverts a controlled portion of the flow back to the inlet, providing fine speed control during retrieval.

By integrating the pump and engine on the same chassis as the turbine and hose reel, the MASTER MF3 MP eliminates dependence on existing mains or bore infrastructure. Operators can position the unit directly beside any accessible water source, start the engine, and begin irrigation without the need for external pressure sources or fixed pipelines. The turbine-driven rewind mechanism operates with the same reliability as a standard turbine drive irrigator, but is supplied by the onboard pump rather than an external system, ensuring consistent retrieval speeds and single-unit mobility across paddocks or between irrigation sites.

Ideal Applications

Paddocks Adjacent to Channels, Rivers or Dams: Draw and pressurise water on-site without mains connection, enabling irrigation of large areas directly from surface water sources.
Remote Broadacre Sites Without Existing Infrastructure: Operate independently of fixed pipelines or bore systems, making the MASTER MF3 MP ideal for newly developed or infrastructure-limited properties.
Contract Irrigation Services: The fully self-contained, towable design allows contractors to move between multiple sites and water sources without reconfiguring pumping or pressure supply systems.
Properties Drawing from Bores with Insufficient Inlet Pressure: The integrated pump provides the additional pressure needed to drive the turbine and achieve optimal hose retrieval speeds, even when bore output is limited.
Large-Scale Forage and Row Crop Irrigation: High flow rates and extended hose lengths support irrigation of pasture, silage maize, cereals and broadacre crops across diverse field geometries.
Multi-Paddock Rotation Irrigation: Single-chassis mobility enables rapid relocation between paddocks or water sources, reducing labour and downtime during seasonal irrigation rotations.

SPECIFICS: Model with hot galvanised ground support platform, giving 360° turntable rotation.Structure shot-blasted treated with 2 applications of powder coating epoxy anti-corrosive primer and a top coat of polyesthere paint with high shock resistence, high atmospheric resistance and long lasting. Hydraulic system which operates the support legs, jack, wheels, turntable rotation and lifts up the trolley, with hoses complete with quick couplers for connection to the hydraulic system of the tractor on turbine model, independent on the machine with auxiliary hydraulic power unit.
