Single-wheel ditch cleaner L series

Machines with special frames to dig outside the tractor shape 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 single-wheel ditcher with side arm allows the operator to dig anew or clean already existing channels, which are placed in odd positions and are not reachable with a standard ditcher that digs behind the tractor. This special extension visibly facilitates working in difficult and particular situations (fox example when digging on banks at different levels and close to roads, or near fields with friable edges) which would not practicable with the usual frame of a standard ditcher. The arm length is fixed and it is calculated from the tractor centre to the centre of the ditch (a distance which is also known as interaxis), the length goes from a minimum of 160 cm to a maximum of 200 cm, according to the customer’s preference, who chooses when purchasing this kind of ditcher. To make the transport easier, the side arm can be easily folded up, hence positioning the ditcher right behind tractor, perpendicular to the road.
