Marani ITS100B Turbine Drive Hard Hose Irrigator

Overview

The Marani ITS100B is a professional turbine drive hard hose irrigator engineered by Marani Irrigazione of Italy for large-scale agricultural operations. This heavy-duty travelling irrigation system combines robust construction with advanced hydraulic controls to deliver reliable performance across plots of noteworthy dimensions. Featuring a hot galvanised chassis mounted on a 4-wheel configuration with 15.0/70-18 wheels, the ITS100B handles hose diameters from 125mm to 160mm (4.92" to 6.30") and lengths extending up to 890 metres (2,920 feet), making it suitable for extensive field irrigation where mobility and capacity are paramount.

What distinguishes the ITS100B from conventional hard hose reels is its comprehensive hydraulic system that eliminates manual labour from setup and operation. The machine incorporates hydraulic lifting of the trolley and drawbar, hydraulic rotation of the turntable, telescopic hydraulic feet for stable positioning, and a 4-speed synchronised gearbox driven by a turbine flanged directly to the transmission with double built-in bypass. The integrated Aqua System computer provides precise control over irrigation cycles, while the double chain hose retraction mechanism ensures consistent retrieval speed. Supplied with both EXPLORER and LANCER raingun options and complete nozzle sets, this turbine-driven irrigator delivers an optimised cost-benefit relationship for professional growers managing substantial acreage.

Key Features & Benefits

Turbine Drive with Double Bypass: The turbine is flanged directly to the 4-speed synchronised gearbox with integrated double bypass, providing reliable water-powered propulsion that eliminates the need for external power sources during irrigation and ensures consistent retrieval speed across varying terrain.
Comprehensive Hydraulic System: Hydraulic control of the trolley lifting device, turntable rotation, telescopic feet, and drawbar lifting allows one operator to position and adjust the machine quickly without manual effort, significantly reducing setup time and labour costs on large properties.
Hot Galvanised Construction: The chassis and reel drum are hot dip galvanised rather than painted, providing superior corrosion resistance in wet agricultural environments and extending service life even under continuous exposure to water and fertilisers.
Aqua System Computer: The integrated irrigation computer automates retrieval speed and monitors operational parameters, enabling precise application rates and eliminating the need for constant manual supervision during irrigation cycles.
Dual Raingun Compatibility: Factory-equipped with complete nozzle sets for both EXPLORER (Ø28-40mm) and LANCER (Ø30-40mm) rainguns, providing flexibility to match spray patterns and droplet sizes to different crops, soil types, and wind conditions without purchasing additional equipment.
Variable Track Galvanised Trolley: The raingun trolley features adjustable wheel track width and full galvanisation, allowing operators to match row spacing in planted fields whilst resisting corrosion from continuous water exposure.
Double Chain Hose Retraction: The dual chain drive system distributes retrieval forces evenly across the reel drum, preventing uneven spooling and extending hose life by eliminating wear patterns that develop with single-chain systems.
Rapid Coupling Hydraulic Connection: Quick-connect hydraulic couplings to the tractor enable fast attachment and detachment, allowing efficient movement between irrigation sites and reducing downtime during multi-field operations.
Unadulterated Polyethylene Hose: The hose is manufactured from virgin polyethylene raw material without recycled content, ensuring consistent wall thickness, superior pressure resistance, and extended service life compared to hoses containing recycled materials.
Dual Water Inlet with Bauer 133: The galvanised double water inlet with standard Bauer 133 fitting provides secure connection to water sources and compatibility with industry-standard coupling systems used throughout European and international irrigation networks.
