 Series 400 Offset Cut Power Ditchers

PERFORMANCE: The rugged PFM power ditcher is the simplest, economical approach to field water control. Designed to spread soil up to 30 ft. and dig ditches up to 12” deep in one pass. Excellent performance in most soil conditions and all types of crops.

DURABILITY: Rugged “A” frame type design constructed from high strength tube. The unique high HP belt drive is equipped with a banded belt, tapered bushed  sheaves and self-adjusting spring tensioning system. Rotor has four reversible cutting blades and is fully shielded. These features make the PFM power ditcher the strongest and most durable on the market.

CONVENIENCE: The simple spring tensioned self-adjusting belt drive assures proper tension, provides the user with little downtime for service or maintenance. No more difficult alignment, adjusting, and oil leak problems normally caused by high RPM chain drive systems.

OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT

Cutting coulter, ripper shank and/or gauge wheel attachment. Excellent in most soil conditions. The results are reduced machine and blade wear and faster ground speed.
