FM4550 and FM4550H

The FM4550 machine is available in two models, where H stands for hydraulics. This means that a distinction is made between whether it is equipped with a beltdrive or with a hydraulic drive for hose retraction. The models are also available with two different track gauges and various hose lengths, depending on the hose thickness. 

Technical data for a standard machine:

  • Hose length: 675 m at ø 100 mm
  • Total length: 8.25 m
  • Length without drawbar: 5.95 m
  • Height: 3.7 m
  • Total weight with water: 7,950 kg
  • Track gauge: 1.85 m
  • Width: 2.3 m
  • Hose sizes:
    – ø 100 mm: from 500 m to 675 m
    – ø 110 mm: from 350 m to 550 m

Product information

Self-moving irrigators have a low level of energy consumption, among other things. In addition, the machines apply less wear to the hoses because they are rolled up instead of being pulled in. Last but not least, these irrigators can move and irrigate in straight tracks and through soft curves. In this way, the hose length can be utilised in the best possible way to ensure efficient field irrigation.

FM4550 and FM4550H are equipped with:

  • High-pressure stop, with the option of low-pressure stop or a combination
  • Optimised design for water flow
  • Double pump for ideal propulsion even in difficult circumstances

It is possible to choose between two different control systems, Nortoft and FasterRain. The traditional and optimised Nortoft controller includes features such as speed regulation, pressure sensor and setting of the start time. The new controller system, FasterRain, allows for fleet management as well as monitoring and remote control via app and cloud. At the same time, zone irrigation, early stops and other features can be handled from the tractor.

In addition to the controllers, various accessories are available, such as a central lubrication system for the hose guide, a rubber guard for the worm shaft and an A-frame.
