Ferbo GHA SERIES

Overview

The Ferbo GHA Series represents a premium line of turbine drive hard hose irrigators engineered for professional large-scale irrigation operations. Manufactured in Italy by Ferbo, these mobile irrigators feature a sophisticated 360° turntable design with hydraulic wheel lift capabilities, combining robust construction with advanced operational control. Each unit is built on a galvanized frame with painted mechanical components in RAL 5021, delivering both durability and corrosion resistance for extended field service across diverse agricultural environments.

What distinguishes the GHA Series is its comprehensive hydraulic control system with five dedicated levers managing rotation, individual wheel lift, jack operation, trolley lift, and staker legs, providing operators with precise positioning control. The flanged turbine on the gearbox incorporates speed control and compensator technology, while the 4-speed gearbox offers mechanical drive disengagement with both PTO rewinding capability and out-of-drum rewinding options. With hose configurations ranging from 100 mm to 140 mm in diameter and lengths extending from 280 metres to 550 metres, the GHA Series accommodates a wide spectrum of field sizes and irrigation requirements.

Key Features & Benefits

• 360° Turntable with Hydraulic Wheel Lift: Enables complete rotational positioning and independent hydraulic wheel control for superior manoeuvrability across uneven terrain and precise irrigation lane alignment.
• Five-Lever Hydraulic Control System: Provides dedicated control over rotation, right and left wheel lift, jack positioning, trolley lift, and staker legs for comprehensive operational command from the tractor seat.
• Flanged Turbine with Speed Control and Compensator: Ensures consistent retrieval speed regardless of varying water pressure conditions, maintaining uniform irrigation application throughout the entire run.
• 4-Speed Gearbox with Multiple Rewinding Options: Offers mechanical drive disengagement, PTO-powered rewinding, and out-of-drum rewinding capability for flexible operation suited to different field conditions and irrigation strategies.
• Leadscrew Hose Layering Device: Automatically guides the hose onto the reel in precise, even layers, preventing tangling and extending hose service life while ensuring reliable deployment on subsequent irrigation cycles.
• Galvanized Frame Construction: Delivers superior corrosion resistance and structural longevity, protecting your investment against weather exposure and chemical contact inherent in agricultural environments.
• Digital Hour Metre: Tracks operational hours for accurate maintenance scheduling and equipment utilisation documentation, supporting proactive servicing and fleet management.
• Adjustable Track Sprinkler Trolley: Two-wheel design with variable track width accommodates different crop row spacings and field conditions, reducing crop damage during irrigation operations.
• Double Water Inlet Configuration: Provides flexibility in water source connection and enables quick changeover between irrigation positions without replumbing requirements.
• Height-Adjustable Drawbar with Lateral Staker Legs: Ensures compatibility with various tractor hitch heights while lateral stabiliser legs provide secure positioning during stationary irrigation operations.

Ideal Applications

• Large-Scale Field Crop Production: Ideal for irrigating extensive acreages of cereals, maize, soybeans, and other row crops where long irrigation runs and high flow rates maximise efficiency.
• Pasture and Forage Management: Excellent for maintaining productive grasslands, hayfields, and grazing areas where consistent moisture delivery supports continuous biomass production.
• Vegetable Production Operations: Suited to commercial vegetable farms requiring flexible irrigation positioning and adjustable track widths to accommodate various crop row configurations.
• Orchards and Permanent Crop Irrigation: The adjustable track sprinkler trolley and precise positioning control make the GHA Series effective for under-canopy irrigation in tree fruit and nut operations.
• Contract Irrigation Services: The multiple hose configurations and robust construction make these units ideal for irrigation contractors serving diverse clients with varying field sizes and water requirements.
• Sloped and Irregular Terrain: The hydraulic wheel lift and stabiliser leg system provide the stability and manoeuvrability needed for effective irrigation on challenging topography.
