Ocmis IR2A Hydraulic Drive Hard Hose Irrigator

Overview

The Ocmis IR2A is a professional hydraulic drive hard hose irrigator manufactured by Ocmis Irrigazione, Italy's renowned irrigation equipment specialist. Engineered for large-scale agricultural operations, this robust machine handles hoses from 90 mm to 125 mm (3.54 to 4.92 inches) in diameter and up to 500 metres (1640 feet) in length, delivering exceptional stability and performance across extensive field coverage. The hydraulic drive system provides precise control over all major functions, from turntable rotation to trolley lifting, making it ideal for operators managing demanding irrigation schedules with large-diameter hoses.

What distinguishes the IR2A is its innovative Turbo Speed system, which significantly reduces turbine load loss whilst enabling a wide range of machine speeds even under conditions of very low flow rates and inlet pressures. This technological advancement, combined with the 4-speed gearbox and power take-off capability, ensures efficient operation with minimal running and maintenance costs. The hot-galvanised chassis receives additional protection through epoxy resin coating and polyurethane paint, guaranteeing longevity in harsh agricultural environments where durability directly impacts operational profitability.

Key Features & Benefits

• Turbo Speed System: Reduces turbine load loss whilst providing access to variable machine speeds even with very low flows and inlet pressures, optimising performance across diverse field conditions and water supply scenarios.
• Comprehensive Hydraulic Control: Hydraulic lifting device for trolley, hydraulic rotation of turntable, hydraulic lifting of drawbar, and telescopic hydraulic feet deliver complete operational control without manual labour, improving efficiency and operator safety.
• 4-Speed Gearbox with Power Take-Off: Offers precise speed selection for different hose configurations and field conditions, whilst the power take-off enables additional equipment operation, maximising versatility for complex irrigation requirements.
• Variable Track Raingun Trolley: Galvanised trolley mounted on adjustable track wheels accommodates different furrow widths and field configurations, ensuring optimal water distribution regardless of crop spacing or terrain variations.
• Dual Raingun Options: Equipped with sets of nozzles for both REFLEX rainguns (Ø 24 to Ø 32 mm) and EXPLORER rainguns (Ø 28 to Ø 40 mm), providing flexibility to match irrigation intensity to crop requirements and available water pressure.
• Superior Chassis Protection: Hot-galvanised chassis enhanced with epoxy resin coating and finished with polyurethane paints creates a multi-layer defence against corrosion, extending service life significantly beyond standard painted finishes.
• Premium Hose Construction: Polyethylene hose manufactured from unadulterated raw material ensures consistent performance, resistance to UV degradation, and reliable operation throughout extended service life without material breakdown.
• Integrated Safety Systems: Steel safety guards with swaged galvanisation and paint protection, combined with rapid coupling hydraulic connections to tractor, ensure operator protection whilst facilitating quick setup and repositioning.
• Precision Monitoring Instruments: Glycerine bath pressure gauge, tachometer, and speed equaliser provide accurate real-time performance data, enabling operators to optimise irrigation efficiency and detect potential issues before they impact operations.
• Robust Wheel Configuration: Heavy-duty 11.5/80-15.3 12PR 6F wheels deliver excellent traction and weight distribution across soft or uneven terrain, minimising soil compaction whilst ensuring stable transport between irrigation positions.

Ideal Applications

• Large-Scale Field Crops: Perfect for irrigating extensive wheat, maize, soybean, and cotton fields where long hose lengths and robust construction ensure reliable coverage across hundreds of hectares with minimal repositioning.
• High-Value Vegetable Production: Suitable for commercial vegetable operations requiring precise water application through variable nozzle selection and controlled irrigation speeds to match different growth stages and soil infiltration rates.
• Pasture and Fodder Irrigation: Ideal for maintaining productive grazing lands and fodder crops where the variable track trolley accommodates diverse field layouts and the durable construction withstands frequent seasonal use.
• Operations with Limited Water Pressure: Specifically advantageous for farms with low inlet pressures or flow rates, where the Turbo Speed system maintains efficient operation under conditions that would compromise conventional irrigators.
• Custom Farming and Irrigation Contractors: Well-suited for service providers managing multiple properties with different hose requirements, as the range of configurations and dual raingun compatibility maximises equipment utilisation across diverse client needs.
• Undulating Terrain Irrigation: Excellent choice for fields with variable topography where the telescopic hydraulic feet and robust wheel configuration provide stability and consistent performance across slopes and uneven ground conditions.
