Marani IT070B Hydraulic Drive Hard Hose Irrigator

Overview

The Marani IT070B is a heavy-duty hydraulic drive hard hose irrigator engineered by Marani Irrigazione, an Italian manufacturer with a long-standing reputation for precision agricultural irrigation equipment. Designed specifically for plots of noteworthy dimensions, the IT070B delivers high-capacity water distribution across large agricultural areas while maintaining a strong focus on ease of use and operational efficiency. Driven entirely by hydraulic power sourced from a tractor's power take-off, this machine eliminates the need for separate engine units, reducing maintenance complexity and overall running costs. With polyethylene hose diameters ranging from 100 mm to 140 mm (3.94 in to 5.51 in) and lengths reaching up to 600 m (1,969 ft), the IT070B is built to service expansive fields with uniform, reliable coverage.

What distinguishes the IT070B within the Marani hard hose irrigator range is its comprehensive all-hydraulic architecture, which governs not only the hose winding drive but also the trolley lifting, turntable rotation, drawbar lifting, and telescopic feet — all operated via rapid couplings directly to the tractor's hydraulic circuit. The machine accommodates both the REFLEX and EXPLORER raingun families, covering nozzle diameters from Ø 24 mm through to Ø 40 mm, making it highly adaptable to varying flow and throw requirements. A 4-speed gearbox combined with a speed equaliser and tachometer ensures precise control over hose retrieval speed and irrigation uniformity. The hot-galvanised chassis and reel construction, together with galvanised safety guards and a galvanised raingun trolley, provide exceptional corrosion resistance suited to continuous outdoor operation in demanding agricultural environments. With its carefully considered cost-to-benefit ratio, the IT070B represents a technically sophisticated yet practically minded solution for large-scale irrigation.

Key Features & Benefits

• Fully Hydraulic Operation: The lifting of the trolley, rotation of the turntable, lifting of the drawbar, and extension of the telescopic feet are all hydraulically actuated via rapid couplings to the tractor, minimising manual effort during field positioning and significantly accelerating setup time.
• 4-Speed Gearbox with Speed Equaliser: The four-speed gearbox provides a wide range of hose retrieval speeds to match varying crop and soil conditions, while the integrated speed equaliser maintains consistent winding speed regardless of hose tension variations, ensuring uniform water application across the full irrigation run.
• Turbine Flanged on Gearbox with Built-In By-Pass: The turbine is directly flanged to the gearbox and incorporates a built-in by-pass valve, allowing precise flow management and protecting the hydraulic circuit from pressure surges without requiring external components.
• REFLEX & EXPLORER Raingun Compatibility: The IT070B is supplied with nozzle sets for both the REFLEX raingun (Ø 24 to Ø 32) and the EXPLORER raingun (Ø 28 to Ø 40), offering operators the flexibility to optimise throw radius and application rate across a wide range of operational conditions and field sizes.
• Hot-Galvanised Chassis and Reel: The entire chassis and reel assembly undergoes hot-dip galvanisation, providing long-term protection against rust and corrosion in wet, chemically treated, or saline field environments, extending the working life of the machine.
• Galvanised Double Water Inlet: The double water inlet configuration allows for high-volume water supply connections, reducing inlet pressure losses and supporting the large flow rates demanded by bigger nozzle diameters and longer hose runs.
• Polyethylene Hose from Unadulterated Raw Material: The hose is manufactured exclusively from virgin-grade polyethylene, ensuring consistent wall thickness, superior flexibility in cold conditions, and maximum pressure resistance throughout the hose's service life.
• Tachometer for Operational Monitoring: An integrated tachometer provides real-time feedback on hose winding speed, allowing operators to make informed adjustments to maintain target application depths and avoid over- or under-irrigation.
• Galvanised Safety Guards Made of Steel: The swaged, galvanised, and painted steel safety guards protect rotating components and moving parts, meeting safety standards while withstanding the physical demands of field use without deteriorating in outdoor conditions.
• Variable Track Wheels on Raingun Trolley: The galvanised raingun trolley is mounted on variable track wheels, enabling adjustment of the wheel spacing to suit different row widths and field surface conditions, improving trolley stability and reducing crop damage during travel.

Every major positioning adjustment is made from the tractor cab without leaving the seat, dramatically reducing setup time and physical effort at each irrigation move. 4-Speed Gearbox & Turbine A water-powered turbine is flanged directly onto a 4-speed gearbox with a built-in by-pass valve, providing four selectable hose retrieval speeds. Four distinct travel speeds allow precise application rate control across different crop types and soil conditions, while the by-pass valve protects the drive system from pressure spikes. Speed Equalizer & Tachometer A speed equalizer maintains consistent hose retrieval speed throughout the reel wind-in cycle, paired with a tachometer for real-time speed monitoring. Consistent travel speed from start to finish ensures uniform water application depth across the entire run length, eliminating over- or under-irrigated zones. Dual Raingun Nozzle Sets Two complete nozzle sets are included — REFLEX raingun nozzles from Ø24 to Ø32 mm and EXPLORER raingun nozzles from Ø28 to Ø40 mm. A wide nozzle range covering both rainguns gives operators the flexibility to adapt throw diameter and flow rate to match available pressure, crop height, and field size without purchasing additional accessories. Galvanised Raingun Trolley The raingun trolley is hot-dip galvanised and mounted on variable track wheels to accommodate different hose widths and field surfaces. Variable track adjustment ensures stable raingun positioning across uneven terrain, while galvanised construction resists corrosion for long-term durability in wet operating conditions. Hot Galvanised Chassis & Reel Both the main chassis and hose reel are constructed from hot-dip galvanised steel, with safety guards additionally swaged, galvanised, and painted. Multi-layer corrosion protection on all primary structural components significantly extends service life in demanding outdoor environments, reducing long-term maintenance and replacement costs. Galvanised Double Water Inlet A galvanised double water inlet is fitted to allow flexible connection from either side of the machine. The dual-side inlet means the machine can be positioned and connected to the mainline from whichever direction is most practical in the field, saving repositioning time. Premium Polyethylene Hose The lay-flat or hard hose is manufactured from unadulterated virgin polyethylene raw material with no recycled content. Virgin-grade PE ensures consistent wall thickness, pressure rating, and flexibility over the hose's service life, reducing the risk of premature cracking or burst failures in the field. Tractor Hydraulic Integration The entire hydraulic system connects to the tractor via standard rapid-coupling fittings, with a power take-off drive for the turbine. Rapid-coupling hydraulic connections mean the machine can be hitched and operational in minutes with any compatible tractor, minimising downtime between paddock moves. Heavy-Duty Tyres The machine runs on two 11.5/80-15.3 12PR 6F rated tyres for field transport and positioning. High-ply-rated agricultural tyres provide the load capacity and ground clearance needed to tow the fully loaded irrigator across soft or uneven paddock ground without bogging or tyre damage.
