Single Wheel Ditchers

Bilateral Single Wheel Ditchers

Machine with moveable frame to create ditches in different positions

The wide range of Cosmeco rotary single-wheel ditchers has been designed and developed for many different water management purposes, such as excavation, maintenance or cleaning of collector ditches and furrows. Thanks to their rotor 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.

The bilateral single-wheel ditcher, allows the operator to dig anew or clean already existing channels place behind the tractor tires or any intermediate position between them.  The adjusting of the displacement is performed mechanically or through a hydraulical cylinder, according to the user’s preference.

This special mobility visibly facilitates the operator in those difficult situations which require specific digging positions, that would not be feasible with a standard ditcher. This equipment has many applications. It can be used in greenhouses both inside or outside, in various agricultural plantations and to earth up the rice fields side banks, or simply earthing up the film near greenhouse edges.
