Application

The DT55 Powered Ditcher is a versatile tool to use in many water control applications. Cleaning water ditches along roadsides or in farm fields to drain standing water away from crops, the DT55 makes it simple. The 20" impeller leaves a clean and sculptured trough to keep water flowing freely from unwanted areas. With the optional Material Control Chute in place, dirt can be placed just next to the machine, or thrown many feet away to reshape terraces. An optional ripper, gauge wheel and skid shoe can be attached to aid in reshaping terraces and grader ditches. See “Features and Benefits”, “Section 6” for additional information.
