Marani ITS080R Hydraulic Drive Hard Hose Irrigator

Overview

The Marani ITS080R is a heavy-duty hydraulic drive hard hose irrigator engineered by Marani Irrigazione, an Italian manufacturer with deep expertise in agricultural irrigation systems. Designed specifically for large-scale field irrigation, the ITS080R combines robust mechanical construction with fully hydraulic operation to deliver efficient, reliable water distribution across plots of significant size. Tractor-powered via a power take-off and hydraulic circuit, this machine automates the reel winding and gun positioning process, making it a practical solution for demanding irrigation schedules where both productivity and ease of operation are priorities.

What distinguishes the ITS080R within the Marani hard hose irrigator range is its careful balance between high-capacity performance and operational simplicity — a machine built for noteworthy plot dimensions without sacrificing the cost-benefit relationship that working farms depend on. The unit features a 4-speed synchronised gearbox, telescopic hydraulic feet, hydraulic drawbar rotation and lifting, a reinforced reel with 16 lateral supports, and compatibility with both REFLEX and EXPLORER rainguns across a wide range of polyethylene hose diameters from 110 mm to 125 mm (4.33 in to 4.92 in). The hot-galvanised chassis and reel, along with galvanised safety guards, ensure long-term corrosion resistance in demanding field environments. A speed equaliser and tachometer add precision to winding operations, while the rapid-coupling hydraulic system provides straightforward tractor connection and disconnection in the field.

Key Features & Benefits

Hydraulic Rotation and Lifting of Drawbar: Fully hydraulic drawbar control eliminates manual repositioning effort, allowing the operator to adjust machine orientation quickly and safely from the tractor cab, reducing setup time between irrigation passes.
Telescopic Hydraulic Feet: Adjustable hydraulic stabiliser feet provide secure, level ground contact on uneven terrain, improving machine stability during operation without requiring manual levelling tools or additional labour.
4-Speed Synchronised Gearbox with Integrated Turbine and By-Pass: The four-speed gearbox gives operators precise control over hose winding speed, enabling accurate water application rates to be maintained across varying field conditions. The turbine is flanged directly onto the gearbox with a built-in by-pass for efficient power transfer.
Compatibility with REFLEX and EXPLORER Rainguns: Dual raingun platform support — with included nozzle sets spanning Ø 24 mm to Ø 32 mm for REFLEX and Ø 28 mm to Ø 40 mm for EXPLORER — provides flexibility to tailor throw diameter and water output to the specific crop and field geometry being irrigated.
Reinforced Reel with 16 Lateral Supports: The heavy-duty reel construction distributes load evenly across the full hose length, reducing stress concentration and extending the service life of both the reel structure and the polyethylene hose during repeated winding cycles.
Hot-Galvanised Chassis, Reel, and Double Water Inlet: Hot-dip galvanisation of the main structural components provides superior long-term corrosion resistance compared to paint-only treatments, significantly extending the operational life of the machine in wet and chemically demanding agricultural environments.
Speed Equaliser and Tachometer: The speed equaliser maintains consistent hose retrieval speed despite varying water pressure conditions, while the tachometer allows real-time monitoring of winding speed — together ensuring uniform water application along the entire irrigation run.
Polyethylene Hose from Unadulterated Raw Material: The hose is manufactured from virgin-grade polyethylene raw material, ensuring consistent wall thickness, pressure integrity, and flexibility over the operational life of the machine without the degradation risk associated with recycled or mixed-grade materials.
Galvanised Raingun Trolley on Variable Track Wheels: The raingun trolley's variable track wheel configuration improves stability across different row spacings and field surfaces, allowing the trolley to be adapted to the specific crop geometry without modification.
Rapid-Coupling Hydraulic Connection to Tractor: The standardised rapid-coupling hydraulic system allows fast, clean connection and disconnection from the tractor hydraulic circuit, minimising fluid spillage and field downtime when moving the machine between irrigation positions.

Ideal Applications

Large Arable Crop Irrigation: The ITS080R's extended hose lengths — up to 670 m (2,198 ft) — and high-capacity EXPLORER raingun configurations make it well suited to irrigating large fields of cereals, maize, sunflowers, and similar row crops where long single-pass runs are required to cover the area efficiently.
Fodder and Forage Crop Production: Consistent, uniform water application across wide strips of alfalfa, clover, or grass pasture is supported by the speed equaliser and selectable nozzle sizes, helping to maintain even sward growth critical to forage quality.
Vegetable Cultivation at Scale: The variable track raingun trolley and adjustable winding speeds allow the machine to be configured for vegetable fields with specific row spacings, supporting irrigation of crops such as potatoes, brassicas, and root vegetables across large plots.
Orchards and Tree Crop Establishments: The REFLEX raingun with its finer nozzle range (Ø 24–28 mm) offers controlled application rates suitable for orchard irrigation during establishment phases, where precise water placement reduces runoff and optimises root zone uptake.
Agricultural Operations Requiring Tractor-Integrated Irrigation: Farms that operate a tractor-centric equipment fleet benefit directly from the hydraulic power take-off drive and rapid-coupling connection system, which integrate the irrigator seamlessly into existing tractor hydraulic circuits without dedicated pumping infrastructure at the machine.
Farms with Multiple Field Sizes and Geometries: The range of eight hose diameter and length configurations — from 110 mm × 620 m to 125 mm × 570 m — combined with dual raingun compatibility, allows a single machine platform to be specified appropriately for farms managing fields of varying dimensions and water demand profiles.
