Marani ITS080B Hydraulic Drive Hard Hose Irrigator

Overview

The Marani ITS080B is a heavy-duty hydraulic drive hard hose irrigator engineered by Marani Irrigazione, one of Italy's most respected manufacturers of agricultural irrigation machinery. Designed specifically for plots of significant scale, the ITS080B delivers high-volume water distribution across large agricultural areas while maintaining a clear focus on operator ease and long-term cost efficiency. Powered entirely by a tractor's hydraulic and power take-off systems, this machine eliminates the need for separate engines, reducing both operational complexity and maintenance overhead for the end user.

What sets the ITS080B apart within the Marani hard hose irrigator range is its comprehensive hydraulic actuation system, which controls virtually every major mechanical function — from trolley lifting and turntable rotation to drawbar positioning and stabilising feet — allowing a single operator to position, deploy, and retrieve the machine with minimal physical effort. The unit accommodates polyethylene hose diameters from 100 mm to 150 mm (3.94 in to 5.91 in) and is available with either the REFLEX or EXPLORER raingun depending on the configuration, making it adaptable to a wide range of flow rates, pressures, and field geometries. A four-speed synchronised gearbox provides precise winding speed control, ensuring uniform water application across each irrigation pass.

Key Features & Benefits

Fully Hydraulic Operation: Hydraulic lifting of the trolley, rotation of the turntable, lifting of the drawbar, and telescopic stabilising feet are all hydraulically actuated via rapid couplings to the tractor, enabling one-person setup and retrieval across large fields without manual strain.
4-Speed Synchronised Gearbox with PTO Drive: The four-speed gearbox, driven by the tractor's power take-off, allows operators to fine-tune hose winding speed to match flow rate and desired application depth, delivering consistent and agronomically accurate water distribution.
Turbine with Built-In By-Pass: The turbine is flanged directly onto the gearbox and incorporates an integral by-pass valve, providing reliable hydraulic power generation from the water flow while protecting the system against pressure fluctuations.
REFLEX and EXPLORER Raingun Compatibility: Smaller configurations are supplied with the REFLEX raingun (nozzles Ø24–Ø32), while larger hose diameters pair with the EXPLORER raingun (nozzles Ø28–Ø40), ensuring optimal throw radius and distribution uniformity across the full range of available configurations.
Hot-Galvanised Chassis and Reel: The main chassis and reel receive a hot-dip galvanising treatment, providing superior corrosion resistance suited to continuous outdoor and agricultural use in demanding environments.
Galvanised Raingun Trolley on Variable-Track Wheels: The raingun trolley is galvanised for longevity and rides on variable-track wheels, allowing adjustment to suit different crop row spacings and uneven terrain conditions.
Polyethylene Hose from Unadulterated Raw Material: The PE hose is manufactured exclusively from virgin, unadulterated raw material, ensuring consistent wall thickness, pressure resistance, and service life throughout the hose's operational lifespan.
Speed Equaliser and Tachometer: The inclusion of a speed equaliser and tachometer gives the operator real-time feedback and precise control over winding uniformity, supporting accurate application rate management across the full length of the hose.
Dual Water Inlet with Bauer Coupling Standard: The galvanised double water inlet accommodates both Bauer Ø108 (for hose diameters 100–125 mm) and Bauer Ø133 (for hose diameters 135–150 mm), simplifying connection to existing farm water infrastructure.
Steel Safety Guards — Swaged, Galvanised, and Painted: All safety guards are fabricated from steel, swaged for strength, then galvanised and painted, combining regulatory compliance with long-term structural integrity.

Ideal Applications

Large Arable Crop Irrigation: The ITS080B's extended hose lengths — up to 650 m (2,133 ft) — and high-output rainguns make it well suited to irrigating cereals, maize, sunflower, and other row crops grown across broad field blocks.
Fodder and Pasture Irrigation: The wide throw radius of the EXPLORER raingun and variable nozzle selection support uniform coverage across open grassland and fodder crop areas, supporting consistent forage yields.
Vegetable and Horticultural Production: For larger-scale vegetable enterprises, the adjustable winding speed and precise application rate control provided by the 4-speed gearbox allow operators to tailor water delivery to crop sensitivity and growth stage.
Sugar Beet and Root Crop Fields: Where soil moisture management is critical to tuber and root development, the ITS080B's consistent travel speed and uniform distribution pattern support optimal crop development with minimal waterlogging risk.
Farms with High Water Volume Availability: With hose diameters up to 150 mm (5.91 in) and compatible Bauer Ø133 inlet connections, the machine is designed to handle high-flow irrigation schemes supplied by reservoirs, boreholes, or large pump sets.
Multi-Field Rotation Irrigation Programmes: The fully hydraulic setup and retrieval system, combined with tractor PTO drive, makes the ITS080B practical for farms operating irrigation on a rotational basis across multiple fields, minimising inter-field movement time.
