Idrofoglia Turbocar Extreme IG4 Hydraulic Drive Hard Hose Irrigators

Overview

The Turbocar Extreme IG4 by Idrofoglia represents the pinnacle of Italian-engineered hydraulic drive hard hose irrigation technology for large-scale agricultural operations. This heavy-duty traveling irrigator is specifically designed to handle demanding conditions across extensive field areas, combining advanced mechanical systems with comprehensive hydraulic control for maximum operational efficiency. With hose configurations ranging from 125 mm to 160 mm (4.92 to 6.30 in) in diameter and lengths extending up to 750 m (2461 ft), the IG4 delivers professional-grade irrigation capability for farms requiring reliable coverage of expansive surfaces.

What distinguishes the Turbocar Extreme IG4 from conventional traveling irrigators is its sophisticated 4-speed mechanical gearbox paired with a reinforced structural frame engineered to withstand the rigors of complex agricultural environments. The integrated hydraulic wheel lift system enables effortless transport and precise field positioning, while the mechanical drive disengagement feature and PTO rewinding capability provide operators with exceptional versatility in managing irrigation cycles. This model represents Idrofoglia's commitment to delivering robust, high-performing irrigation solutions that maintain consistent operation even under challenging terrain and climate conditions.

Key Features & Benefits

• 4-Speed Mechanical Gearbox: Provides precise control over irrigation speed with mechanical drive disengagement, allowing you to optimize water application rates across different crop types and soil conditions while enabling efficient PTO-powered rewinding.
• Comprehensive Hydraulic Control System: Features five dedicated control levers for rotation, left and right wheel lift, jack operation, trolley lift, and stabilizer legs, giving you complete command over machine positioning and transport with minimal physical effort.
• Reinforced Painted Frame Construction: The robust RAL 5017 painted frame and mechanical components deliver exceptional durability and corrosion resistance, ensuring long-term reliability in harsh agricultural environments with reduced maintenance requirements.
• Hydraulic Wheel Lift Mechanism: Simplifies field-to-field transport and precise positioning by allowing effortless wheel engagement and disengagement, significantly reducing setup time and operator fatigue during relocation.
• Leadscrew Hose Layering Device: Ensures even, tangle-free hose distribution across the drum during retrieval, preventing wear and extending hose lifespan while maintaining consistent performance throughout the irrigation cycle.
• Adjustable Track Sprinkler Trolley: The two-wheel trolley with variable track width adapts to different row spacings and field configurations, providing stable raingun positioning while minimizing crop damage during irrigation passes.
• Digital Hour Meter: Monitors operational time for accurate maintenance scheduling and performance tracking, helping you maximize equipment longevity and plan preventive service intervals effectively.
• Double Water Inlet Configuration: Offers flexible connection options for various water sources and field layouts, enhancing operational versatility and simplifying integration into existing irrigation infrastructure.
• Flanged Turbine with Speed Control and Compensator: Maintains consistent retrieval speed regardless of pressure fluctuations, ensuring uniform water application and predictable irrigation timing across the entire field pass.
• Height-Adjustable Drawbar: Accommodates different tractor hitch heights for safe, stable towing across varied terrain, reducing stress on both the irrigator and towing vehicle during transport.
