TVR 20 and TVR 60: Power and economy in one drive unit
The new radial full-flow economy turbine TVR 20 (T models) and TVR 60 (E models) with the unique Vario nozzle is a power pack and energy saver in one. Extremely low pressure loss helps to save money, particularly when low and water-saving precipitation rates are applied. Maximum use of output is achieved by direct flow from the Vario nozzle onto the impeller. At maximum and minimum nozzle opening the full stream flows over the turbines impeller. This ensures highest efficiency and minimum pressure loss with any flow rate. Precise regulation and a large performance range with possibility of high retraction speeds are further advantages. Vario nozzle with infinitely variable opening The full stream flows over the impeller both at minimum and maximum nozzle opening.
Computer-controlled regulation
Regulation of turbine is controlled electronically. The Vario nozzle keeps the retraction speed precise from the beginning to the end of the strip, with optimum pressure utilisation.
Comfortable changing of gears with precise shifting gate and display of the selected gear Safe and comfortable gearshifting. The safety lock of the clutch lever prevents a changing of gears with the drive engaged. Safety has priority!
Optimal placement of the turbine Because the turbine is mounted directly on the reel shaft, the water flow is not deflected and the high efficiency preserved.
ECOSTAR 4000 S
Standard
ECOSTAR 4200
Option
BAUER ECOSTAR 4000 S easy to operate at the touch of a button. An illuminated 4-line display shows the operational status of the irrigation system. Through permanent comparison of set-point and actual value of the retraction speed the crops are irrigated precisely. Solar panel and 12 V battery guarantee sufficient power supply.
BAUER ECOSTAR 4200 offers following additional features: Built-in precision clock automatic start time input Input of four different speed zones on one strip Recording and totalling of overall irrigation time very important information for the irrigation management. Options available for connecting additional sensors for monitoring the irrigation system (wind, rainfall, etc.) With connections for transmitter box SMS 4210 Lockable protecting cover comes standard. Computer display easy to read even in bright sunlight due to special cover design. Hinged solar panel for maximum exposure to solar radiation.
Input options
Start / Stop Retraction speed Pre / post irrigation Machine data in programming mode (factory programmed) Speed setting Remaining irrigation time Laid-down PE-pipe length Pre / post irrigation Sensors for display of various functions Precise length measurement PE-pipe length is metered contact-less by means of magnetic sensors on the gearbox. Therefore the measurements are not affected by dirt on the PE-pipe or similar.
ECOSTAR shut-off sensor The shut-off sensor is mounted fail-safe and protected against unintentional actuation underneath the drive cover. Double safety: At the end of the irrigated strip the drive gearbox is also disconnected mechanically.
RAINSTAR
Swivel pipe reel with builtin hydraulic supports The reel can be turned into every desired position. The sturdy spades are pressed into the soil with the hydraulic system (E models) and fix the RAINSTAR immovably even at high pulling forces. Winding gear The winding mechanism guides the PE-pipe gently, precisely and evenly through all windings and layers. Drive cover in modern style The new closed driver cover offers maximum protection. It is made of ABS material mainly used in the automotive industry. Drive cover with built-in solar panel Computer and solar panel are placed at user-friendly height. A standard protective cover for the computer and a display which is clearly readable also in bright sunlight are further benefits of this design. PTO rewind If needed, the PE-pipe can be rolled up quickly with the PTO shaft. Standard on all models. Sturdy pipe reel with large drum diameter Fully-enclosed reel side walls of edged steel segments ensure maximum stability and operational safety, even under most demanding conditions. Pipe winds without bends or bruises on the fully rolled inner reel drum from the very first layer. Precision chain drive Precision-manufactured toothed segments for reel drive ensure exact chain run. Maintenance-free operation and long service life of the driving chain are guaranteed even with high pulling forces. High-quality PE-pipe A special mixture of materials guarantees maximum durability even under toughest demands. BAUER is able to provide this high standard through the companys own PE-pipe manufacture.
Convincing arguments
Hinged spades The spades of hydraulicoperated telescopic machine supports can be turned by 180. This feature gives extra ground clearance. Important for setting down the cart (E models except for 4W design).
Swivel aid Helps to turn the reel into the desired position with effortless ease even if the setting-up position is not level. Mechanical or hydraulic, as requested.
Unit connect on both sides The supply line can be coupled again with effortless ease after turning the reel. No repositioning of the supply line needed.
Optimum corrosion protection The RAINSTAR is entirely hot galvanised. A guarantee for lasting value. Large tyres Large-sized tyres ensure low soil pressure. Rims and tyres come in commercial sizes. Optional dimensions available. Hydraulic jack With the optional hydraulic jack the RAINSTAR can be set up and coupled with the tractor with effortless ease. 4-speed gearbox Easy speed setting with precision shifting gate and speed indication. A safety lock prevents gear change while drive is connected. Safety is a matter of priority for BAUER. Low centre of gravity Infinitely variable track width and low centre of gravity make the RAINSTAR safe to manoeuvre even on rough and hilly terrain. Further benefits: track width indication and a drawbar length that is also sufficient for large tractors.
4-wheel tandem axle The tandem axle provides uniform weight distribution, low soil pressure, and protects the crop particularly when laying down the PE-pipe on the field.
PE-pipe blow out The water left in the pipe is blown out with the compressor. Lower pipe weight makes pull-off possible also with smaller tractors. An empty PE-pipe means up to 4,200 kg lower overall weight.
Electric shut-off valves At overpressure water inflow is closed by a slowclosing electric shut-off valve, at underpressure a flow control turns off the pump.
Combined shut-off valve No matter if overpressure or underpressure, the combined version stops the RAINSTAR automatically either way.
DUOSTAR
The first irrigation machine of its kind with neither front nor back
Sliding drawbar, easy-moving, roller-supported, with coupling at both ends No crop damage by additional manoeuvres with the tractor Easy to manoeuvre ideal for limited space Quickly moved to the next setting-up position Reduced soil pressure by four wheels Swivel reel for PE-pipe pull-off on all sides
1 Driving into the crop 2 Sliding the drawbar through the base frame The tractor is already standing in the right track. The roller-supported drawbar is pushed into the starting position. 3 Turning the reel The reel is turned 180, the arms of the boom cart are opened.
4 Hauling the cart and PE-pipe pull-off. The tractor is still in the same crop row and this is also the lane in which it leaves the irrigated strip. 5 Irrigating the strip with gentle rain. 6 Moving DUOSTAR to the next irrigation strip without any additional manoeuvres with the tractor.

Boom cart AS 50 / AS 32
Spray booms apply a particularly fine mist that equally protects the plants and the soil because it works already with as low as 3.2 bar supply pressure. This means economical use of energy and water. The AS 50 boom cart matches exactly with RAINSTAR E models and lays a gentle veil of moisture on strip widths up to 72 m. The boom cart is made of high-quality steel and aluminium elements but in spite of its light construction its stability is excellent. Burdening weights continuously balance the boom parallel to the ground. With infinitely variable hydraulic height adjustment for ground clearance from 1.3 m to 2.3 m (AS 50) the system is ideal also for higher crops. Spray boom AS 32 is designed for RAINSTAR T machines in particular. It covers strip widths up to 50 m.
360 swivel aid on AS 50 With the swivel aid the system can be adjusted precisely to irregular fields. Roads running diagonally along the borders of fields are not obstructed by projecting boom arms. Ideal also for avoiding trees, poles and other obstacles within the field.
Spray nozzles As low as 0.8 bar nozzle pressure is already sufficient to produce exceptionally fine and gentle rain that protects plants and soil equally. The further advantages are significantly lower pressure requirement (savings up to 4 bar), uniform distribution, and low sensitivity to wind.
AS 50: 62 m / AS 32: 44 m Strip width with low-pressure spray nozzles and rotator nozzles
AS 50: 72 m / AS 32: 50 m Strip width with low-pressure spray nozzles and end nozzle block
RAINSTAR
Protective to soil and plants
Laying down the PE-pipe in row crops For driving in the field the RAINSTARS wheel track is adjusted exactly to the plant row spacing. A special pipe guide ensures that the PE-pipe is laid down in a straight line between the plant rows. Tractor, RAINSTAR, and cart move in exactly the same tracks without damaging the crop.
Cart lift
At the end of the irrigated strip the cart is lifted hydraulically (E models) into the transport position together with the machine supports. Automatic cart loading at strip end (T models).
Crop-saving slope compensator Keeps the sprinkler properly inclined on uneven ground and particularly also during final pipe rewind. Saves the plants from damage by water jet.
