Nettuno NILO - HYDRAULIC

Overview

The Nettuno® NILO - HYDRAULIC represents a premium turbine drive hard hose irrigator engineered and manufactured in Italy by Nettuno, a leader in agricultural irrigation technology. This hydraulic mobile irrigation system combines robust construction with intelligent hydraulic control, featuring a 360° turntable and hydraulic wheel lift for exceptional field mobility and positioning flexibility. Designed for demanding agricultural operations, the NILO-HYDRAULIC delivers precise water distribution across extensive field areas with hose configurations ranging from 100mm to 150mm diameter and extending up to 330 metres in length.

What distinguishes the NILO-HYDRAULIC model is its comprehensive hydraulic system with five independent control levers managing rotation, wheel lift, jack operation, trolley positioning, and stabiliser legs, all powered directly from the tractor's hydraulic system via quick-connect couplings. The machine features a flanged turbine mounted on a four-speed gearbox with speed control and compensator, ensuring optimal rewinding performance across varying pressure conditions. Built with a fully painted frame and drum assembly, leadscrew hose layering mechanism, and adjustable-track sprinkler trolley, this system is engineered to withstand the most challenging field conditions while maintaining consistent irrigation performance season after season.

Key Features & Benefits

• 360° Turntable with Hydraulic Wheel Lift: Enables complete rotational freedom and hydraulic-powered wheel elevation, allowing seamless repositioning and optimal field coverage without manual handling or secondary equipment.
• Five-Function Hydraulic Control System: Independent lever control for rotation, right and left wheel lift, jack operation, trolley lift, and stabiliser legs provides precise machine positioning and operational control directly from the tractor.
• Four-Speed Gearbox with Turbine Drive: Flanged turbine mounted on gearbox with integrated speed control and compensator delivers consistent rewinding performance, with mechanical drive disengagement and PTO-powered rewinding capability for maximum operational flexibility.
• Leadscrew Hose Layering Device: Automated layering mechanism ensures uniform hose winding onto the drum, preventing tangles and overlaps that can damage the hose and extending service life while ensuring reliable deployment.
• Adjustable-Track Sprinkler Trolley: Two-wheel trolley with variable track width accommodates different row spacings and field conditions, maintaining stable sprinkler positioning across uneven terrain for uniform water application.
• Dual Water Inlet Configuration: Double water inlet system provides connection flexibility and backup capability, enabling operation from multiple water sources and enhancing system reliability in diverse field layouts.
• Height-Adjustable Drawbar with Stabiliser Legs: Vertically adjustable towing connection ensures proper alignment with various tractor models, while lateral stabiliser legs provide rigid anchoring during irrigation cycles to prevent movement.
• Digital Hour Meter: Integrated usage tracking enables accurate maintenance scheduling and operational monitoring, optimising service intervals and extending equipment lifespan through proper preventive maintenance.
• Complete Painted Protection: Comprehensive paint treatment on frame, drum, and mechanical components provides superior corrosion resistance, protecting the investment in harsh agricultural environments and extending operational life.
• Sectoring Sprinkler with Nozzle Set: Includes adjustable sectoring raingun with complete nozzle assortment, enabling precise application patterns and flow rates tailored to specific crop requirements and field geometries.

Technical Specifications

Ideal Applications

• Large-Scale Field Crops: Ideal for extensive wheat, maize, soybean, and cotton operations requiring long irrigation runs with precise water distribution across substantial acreage.
• Pasture and Forage Production: Perfectly suited for livestock operations managing large pasture areas, alfalfa fields, and forage production where frequent repositioning and reliable coverage are essential.
• Vegetable Production on Extensive Acreage: Excellent for commercial vegetable growers operating large field blocks requiring consistent irrigation patterns and the flexibility to adjust track width for variable row spacing.
• Orchard Underlaying Irrigation: Effective for supplemental irrigation in orchard operations where the 360° turntable enables navigation around tree rows and the hydraulic wheel lift facilitates movement over uneven terrain.
• Diverse Terrain Operations: The hydraulic mobility system and stabiliser legs make this machine particularly suitable for operations on sloping or undulating land where manual positioning would be impractical.
• High-Value Crop Production: Perfect for operations growing premium crops where irrigation precision, system reliability, and consistent water application directly impact yield quality and profitability.
