Land Pride welcomes you to the growing family of new
product owners.
This Ditcher has been designed with care and built by
skilled workers using quality materials. Proper assembly,
maintenance, and safe operating practices will help you
get years of satisfactory use from the Powered Ditcher.
Application
The DT55 Powered Ditcher is a versatile tool to use in
many water control applications. Cleaning water ditches
along roadsides or in farm fields to drain standing water
away from crops, the DT55 makes it simple. The 20"
impeller leaves a clean and sculptured trough to keep
water flowing freely from unwanted areas. With the
optional Material Control Chute in place, dirt can be
placed just next to the machine, or thrown many feet
away to reshape terraces. An optional ripper, gauge
wheel and skid shoe can be attached to aid in reshaping
terraces and grader ditches. See “Features and
Benefits”, “Section 6” for additional information.
