Saw an ad for a Ditcher, 12 in. spinning wheel, catagory 2-3 point hitch. Can anyone tell me what kind of animal this is and what it can do? What is such a thing worth and is it a headache to operate? Need quick answers as the wife is cooperative on this on this one.

I've seen these used in DE in the sandy soil that lays wet they go flying across the field with dirt justa flying off to the side. Seams to leave a nice clean little ditch for water to run off into bigger drainage ditches. Always thought it would be neat to have one.

Gred, I have a 3 pt Middlebuster plow that weighs only about 80 pounds. Bought it new for 75.00 at the farm supply store. I use it to plow out ditches and I've gotten down to around 12 inches or so w/ it...

Hummm, I think they throw dirt off to the side, makes a small water channel for surface drainage. I don't think it would be efficent for laying water or electrical lines. At 12", can only go 6" deep (more likely 3" per pass), that's rediculous for waterlines (frost goes 4 feet plus 'here') and not legal for electrical lines....

If this is the machine I am thinking of? Spinning blades like a silage blower or snow blower (second stage part only). Drag it on the dirt & it spins the dirt off the one side, leaving a channel behind. Can make multiple paths to make a bigger channel.

If this were a trenching wheel, then it would _not_ need a cat 2/3 hitch to pull a 12" wheel. Sounds like a ditcher.
