Single-Double-Wheel Ditchers

Single-Double Wheel Ditchers

Earth-moving machine for ditch maintenance

Cosmeco rotary single-double-wheel ditchers have been designed and developed for many different water management purposes, such as excavation, maintenance or cleaning of collector ditches and furrows. Thanks to their rotors equipped with knives and plates, the soil is crumbled up and then removed. The earth can be thrown several meters away, or be positioned beside the ditch edge by account of the special adjustable hoods available on demand. The newly created ditch proves to be defined and chiselled, and makes the water flow away from unwanted areas or distribute itself along irrigation networks.

Our single-double-wheel ditchers are essential when there are particular digging conditions, such as maintenance and/or ex-novo creation of ditches placed near borders, roads or private access ways, common lands, or where there are crops to protect, basically all those circumstances that may require a unique direction for the removed soil to respect the contiguous areas.

These ditchers come with a milling rotor on one side and a smaller shaping wheel on the other side, both wheels are able to excavate and smooth each side of the ditch in a thoroughly uniform way. What is removed is discharged only on the right side of the tractor (considering the driving sense) the earth can be spread in open field or placed on the ditch edges in a localized and even way.

Technical Aspects:

• Gearbox transmission with oil-immersed gears
• 2nd category three-point hitch (standard)
• Adjustable depth through the tractor hydraulic lifting system and the chain provided
• To excavate a new ditch, more passes may be required, depending on the consistency of the soil and the desired depth.
• The frame it's fixed, and works only in a central position

Main Strenghts:

• Perfect along borders, private access ways, common lands or if there are crops to protect.
• Obviates to the operations of levelling piles or ridges of dirt left by scrapers, bulldozers and excavators
• Top-notch performances even with residue deposited at the bottom
• Adjustable hoods for removed soil management
• The light-weighted frame doesn’t compromise the total weight of the machine, even on the off chance of being filled with earth

On Demand:

Cardan shaft with safety bolt – Cardan shaft with friction clutch – Additional hoods – Hydraulic cylinder 3^rd point – Rear small wheel for road transit - Tungsten coated knives for extremely hard soils

We also design and develop on demand solutions, in order to satisfy all of our customers’ desires and requests: widened chassis, special lead angles, extra accessories or any kind of particular equipment which are not part of the standard production line.
