Irtec MAGNUMSP2 Turbine Drive Hard Hose Irrigator

Overview

Irtec is a leading manufacturer of high-quality irrigation equipment, and their Hose Reels are designed to provide efficient and reliable solutions for various irrigation needs. The Irtec Hose Reels are engineered to deliver seamless water distribution, making them an ideal choice for both small-scale and large-scale agricultural applications.

This specific model, the MAGNUMSP2, stands out as a professional-grade Turbine Drive Hard Hose Irrigator designed for large-scale operations where expansive surface coverage is essential. Manufactured in Italy, this machine represents the pinnacle of fluid dynamics engineering applied to field irrigation. The MAGNUMSP2 features a fully hydraulic system that automates critical operations including trolley lifting, drawbar positioning, and turret rotation, significantly reducing operator workload whilst maximising operational efficiency. Its sophisticated turbine-driven mechanism and comprehensive control system make it an exceptional choice for farms requiring reliable, high-capacity irrigation across substantial land areas.

Key Features & Benefits

• Fully Hydraulic Operation: Complete hydraulic control of trolley lifting, drawbar positioning, and turntable rotation eliminates manual handling and speeds up field transitions.
• Turbine Drive System: Turbine flanged directly onto the gearbox with double built-in bypass ensures smooth, consistent hose retraction powered by water flow itself.
• Four-Wheel Chassis Stability: Robust four-wheel design with 15.0/70-18 148A8 14PR 6F tyres provides exceptional stability across uneven terrain and reduces ground pressure.
• Advanced Synchronised Gearbox: Four-speed synchronised gearbox with power take-off delivers precise control over retrieval speed to match varying field conditions.
• Telescopic Hydraulic Feet: Adjustable hydraulic stabilisers ensure level positioning on slopes and provide rock-solid stability during operation.
• Easy Rain Computer: Integrated digital control system enables precise irrigation programming and monitoring for optimised water application.
• Double Chain Retraction: Heavy-duty double chain hose winding mechanism ensures even hose layering and extends hose life through reduced wear.
• Superior Corrosion Protection: Hot galvanised chassis with epoxy resin coating and polyurethane paint finish provides exceptional durability in harsh agricultural environments.
• Variable Track Raingun Trolley: Galvanised trolley with adjustable track width accommodates different row spacings and crop types.
• Rapid Coupling Hydraulic System: Quick-connect hydraulic couplings to tractor enable fast setup and disconnect between irrigation runs.
• Premium Polyethylene Hose: Hose manufactured from unadulterated raw materials ensures consistent performance and longevity without degradation.
• Comprehensive Safety Guards: Steel safety guards, swaged galvanised and painted, protect operators from moving components during operation.
• Dual Raingun Compatibility: Supplied with complete nozzle sets for both EXPLORER and LANCER rainguns, providing versatility for different irrigation requirements.
• Glycerine Bath Pressure Gauge: Liquid-filled gauge provides accurate, vibration-dampened pressure readings for precise irrigation control.

Ideal Applications

• Large-Scale Row Crop Production: Exceptionally suited for irrigating extensive fields of maize, soybeans, wheat, and other row crops where coverage exceeds 80 hectares.
• Pasture and Fodder Management: Ideal for maintaining productive grasslands and fodder crops for livestock operations requiring consistent moisture delivery.
• Vegetable Production: Perfect for commercial vegetable growers needing precise water application across large acreages of potatoes, carrots, onions, and other field vegetables.
• Industrial Agriculture: Designed for professional farming enterprises where reliability, automation, and minimal labour input are critical to operational success.
• Challenging Terrain: The four-wheel chassis and hydraulic stabilisation system make this machine particularly effective on undulating or sloped land where stability is paramount.
• High-Flow Requirements: Suitable for operations with substantial water availability requiring maximum application rates through large-diameter hoses and high-capacity rainguns.
• Multi-Field Operations: Rapid hydraulic setup and teardown features enable efficient movement between multiple irrigation zones within a single day.
