needed to take shock loads posed by extreme digging conditions.

 

 

Spring loaded chain idler

Chain idler is spring loaded to keep constant tension on chain during tough digging

 

conditions, which also makes for smoother digging operations.

 

 

Hardened tooth sprockets

Hardened tooth sprockets have the strength needed to take the load of the double 80

 

chain and rigorous digging conditions.

as far away as the Ditcher will throw it. Control the throwing distance by raising or lowering

 

the chute with either a 2” x 8” hydraulic cylinder or ratchet jack.

 

 

Depth control wheel (optional)

16.5 x 6.50-8 Pneumatic gauge wheel keeps digging depth constant from just skimming

 

the ground to 10” deep.

 

 

Ripper shank (optional)

For hard packed soils, the Shank rips up the ground just ahead of the impeller, allowing the

 

impeller to take in the soil vs. bouncing on hard packed soil. Shank has 3 height

 

adjustments from cutting edge depth to 5” below cutting edge.
