Overview

The Marani FT100B is a professional-grade hydraulic drive hard hose irrigator designed and manufactured in Italy by Marani Irrigazione, a respected name in precision irrigation technology. Built to serve large agricultural plots where both coverage and operational efficiency are paramount, the FT100B combines robust hydraulic engineering with user-centred design. The machine is engineered to handle substantial hose diameters ranging from 125 mm to 140 mm (4.92 in to 5.51 in) and hose lengths extending up to 890 m (2,920 ft), making it one of the most capable hard hose reel irrigators available for high-demand field applications.

What distinguishes the FT100B within the Marani range is its thoughtful balance between large-scale performance and ease of use — a combination that is rarely achieved without compromise. The machine is equipped with a four-speed synchronised gearbox, telescopic hydraulic stabilising feet, hydraulic lifting of both the trolley and drawbar, and the intelligent Computer Aqua System for automated irrigation management. The inclusion of a solar panel for system power, a galvanized hot-dipped chassis and reel, and a double-chain hose retraction mechanism further underscore the FT100B's credentials as a durable, low-maintenance irrigator purpose-built for demanding field conditions worldwide.

Key Features & Benefits

4-Speed Synchronised Gearbox: Provides precise control over hose retraction speed, enabling operators to fine-tune water application rates across varying field conditions and crop requirements.
Hydraulic Lifting System (Trolley, Feet & Drawbar): Telescopic hydraulic feet and hydraulic lifting of both the trolley and drawbar significantly reduce manual labour during setup and repositioning, improving overall workflow efficiency.
Computer Aqua System with Solar Panel: The onboard irrigation computer automates the winding and irrigation cycle, while the integrated solar panel ensures continuous operation without reliance on external power sources — ideal for remote field deployments.
Turbine Flanged on Gearbox with Double Built-In By-Pass: This configuration ensures stable turbine performance across a wide range of flow conditions, protecting the hydraulic drive system and maintaining consistent retraction under variable water pressure.
Double-Chain Hose Retraction: The dual-chain retraction mechanism delivers reliable, even winding of large-diameter hoses, reducing wear and extending the operational life of both the hose and reel assembly.
EXPLORER Raingun with Full Nozzle Set: The galvanized EXPLORER raingun trolley is supplied with a complete set of nozzles ranging from Ø 28 to Ø 40, offering flexible water distribution patterns to match diverse crop types and field geometries.
Hot-Galvanized Chassis and Reel: Full hot-dip galvanization of the chassis and reel provides long-term corrosion resistance, ensuring structural integrity even in wet, chemically treated, or coastal agricultural environments.
Hydraulic Lateral Reverse Pull: This feature simplifies gun-cart deployment and retrieval across uneven terrain, reducing operator effort and protecting the hose from excessive lateral stress during field repositioning.
Polyethylene Hose from Unadulterated Raw Material: The use of pure, unrecycled polyethylene in hose manufacturing ensures consistent wall thickness, pressure integrity, and long service life even under repeated high-pressure cycling.
Variable Track Wheels on Gun-Cart with Automatic Stabiliser Leg: The gun-cart's variable track wheelbase allows the hose to be laid precisely on the tractor wheel track, while the automatic stabiliser leg keeps the raingun steady during irrigation for uniform water distribution.

Product Features

Feature Title	Feature	Benefit
Fully Hydraulic Operation	The FT100B uses a fully hydraulic system — including trolley lift, telescopic feet, drawbar lift, and lateral reverse pull — all connected to the tractor via rapid couplings.	Every major adjustment and movement is controlled from the tractor seat, dramatically reducing operator effort and improving efficiency during setup and repositioning.
4-Speed Synchronized Gearbox	A 4-synchronized-speed gearbox with power take-off and a turbine flanged directly onto it, featuring a double built-in by-pass.	Precise speed selection allows operators to fine-tune application rates across different crop and soil types, while the integrated by-pass protects the drive system from pressure spikes.
Computer Aqua System	An integrated Computer Aqua System paired with a solar panel manages and automates the irrigation program.	Solar-powered automation means the machine operates independently around the clock without manual intervention, reducing labour costs and ensuring consistent water application.
Double Chain Hose Retraction	Hose retraction is driven by a robust double chain mechanism for steady, even winding of the polyethylene hose.	Consistent hose layering prevents kinks, uneven wear, and jamming during retrieval, extending hose life and reducing downtime in the field.
EXPLORER Raingun & Nozzle Set	Includes an EXPLORER raingun mounted on a galvanized trolley with variable track wheels and an automatic stabilizer leg, accompanied by a full set of nozzles ranging from Ø28 to Ø40.	The wide nozzle range delivers flexibility to match application intensity and throw diameter to specific field and crop requirements, while the auto-stabilizer leg keeps the gun cart secure during operation.
Gun Cart Tracking System	The galvanized raingun trolley is mounted on variable track wheels specifically designed to lay the hose along the tractor wheel track.	Placing the hose in the existing wheel track minimises crop damage during deployment and retrieval, protecting yield and reducing field disturbance.
Hot-Galvanized Chassis & Reel	Both the chassis and reel are constructed from hot-galvanized steel, providing a heavy-duty zinc-coated finish throughout the machine's core structure.	Hot-dip galvanization delivers superior corrosion resistance compared to painted or cold-galvanized alternatives, ensuring long-term structural integrity in wet and harsh outdoor conditions.
Hydraulic Lateral Reverse Pull	A hydraulic lateral reverse pull system allows the machine to be repositioned sideways using the tractor's hydraulics.	Simplifies field moves across uneven terrain and tight layouts without requiring manual pushing or additional equipment, saving time between irrigation runs.
Drawbar Stabilizer Legs	Double stabilizer legs are mounted on the drawbar to firmly anchor the machine during the working phase.	Secure anchoring prevents machine movement and hose misalignment during operation, ensuring accurate and uniform water application across the field.
Premium Polyethylene Hose	The hose is manufactured from unadulterated raw polyethylene material to maintain consistent wall thickness and material integrity.	Using unblended raw material ensures the hose retains flexibility, pressure resistance, and a longer service life compared to hoses made with recycled or mixed compounds.
Bauer 133 Water Inlet	The machine features a galvanized double water inlet fitted with a Bauer 133 coupling connection.	The industry-standard Bauer 133 coupling ensures fast, leak-free connection to a wide range of mainline infrastructure, minimising setup time and compatibility issues on farm.
Heavy-Duty 4-Wheel Chassis	The FT100B rides on a 4-wheel chassis fitted with 15.0/70-18 148A8 14PR 6F tyres for stable transport and field mobility.	Large, load-rated agricultural tyres provide stability across soft and uneven ground, reducing bogging risk and allowing safe movement even when the reel is fully loaded with hose.
